The overlapping plates are very evocative of tyranid armor/head plates.

I agree with the GSC guesses.

The exact elaborate style of the staff itself is used by the hedonites, while the genestealer cults have more crude and functional stuff.
Although, my first impression was GSC.

Daemon Engine?

New Primaris Lieutenant. We've not had one in a while.

Could be something for Mechanicum. They're missing one of the murder bots, the Ursurax or Athanax or something...

Wondering if it ties into this?



Both seem to show similar weathering.

Dare I hope for Dark Mechanicum, albeit with hopefully a better name?

1st thought was Yarrick, but doesn't look orky enough.

Looking at it? I think there’s a flamer, possibly melta barrel on the rear side. Akin to the Washing Machine Dreadnought’s auxiliary shooter.

I originally suspected it was new rat ogre Skryre bits, but now that you mention it, there's definitely a gun under there.

this is a good catch; however, i'm inclined to believe the teaser text this time and say it's a horse. warhammer could always use more horses

Oh, I would love that. He needs an update.

Hmm. Could this be for an updated Spyrer Malcodon rig? It looks too neat to be a Chaos weapon and the two fingers + thumb combo is unusual.

The general spikyness is really close to wotsisface, the Demi-god bloke?

And, if that is a Meltagun (barrel most closely resembles), then the scale is likely around Dreadnought.

The curved claws with spikes down the middle of the back are 100% Daemon Engine stuff. Look at Heldrake and Vashtorr.

Between the claw and the narthecium, my wild wild guess is a Daemon Apothecary counterpart to Vashtorr the Daemon Artificer.

You see very similar motives on Adeptus Mechanicus stuff, like the Onager Dunecrawler claws. Pteraxii and Ironstriders also have similar spike decorations on components, although they don't have claws.

I don't think the spikes-on-claw styling is particularly definitive.

Terminator scale is also plausible- we have an example of a Terminator fist with underslung meltagun.

We know Mechanicum was teased as next for HH so likely tied to that.

Necromunda Spyrer maybe

There looks to be a bit of clothing visible behind the housing for the claw.

Could be an additional sprue for Ogryn

HH Decimator variant?

The weathering on it makes me think Horus Heresy for sure.
The reach of the claws suggests Daemon Engine or Automata.

hmm....

A solid enough guess that I went to look at the Mechanicum catalog in detail, but alas, definitely not unless the plastics depart far more from the source than any previous FW to plastic shift has.

Unless they’re for 40K Chaos.

Definitely a potential candidate overall.

If they're for 40k Chaos, it isn't in the main codex.

It wouldn't be beyond belief to see an upgrade frame for the Helbrute to do a World Eater specific variant, right?

Looking at the painting, specifically the edge highlighting, this is likely a human-sized model rather than anything large.

Since it's been less than 20 years since the last World Eater model was released, yes, it would most definitely be beyond belief.

Man of iron powerfist

Pale colour as well, rather than the traditional black/deep red of Chaos.

Hazard yellow or industrial grey makes me think Necromunda, perhaps updated Pit Slaves etc

I'm guessing a Necromunda model as well. Probably a new bot of some description.

It did remind me of a more spikey ambot claw.

Vashtorr has a pretty muted palette though.

A fair few Mechanicum units are painted bone/beige, but never quite as corroded.

Maybe Munda isn't that unrealistic.

Looking at the Dunerider, the beige parts are heavily corroded.

Not. A. Clue.

Reminds me of the void dragon. Perhaps they're moving more c'tan from resin to plastic?

i don't think they would reuse the style so heavily for future c'tan

my one in a million shot is that this is something nurgley, connected to those nurgle underworld warband bits we got shown over christmas. or a big centerpiece model (but that one is kinda obvious)

Skaven warp lighting? With bits of warpstone?

They still do that in AoS?

More Gnarlwood scenery. It looks arboreal with a chunk of meat in it.

I'm guessing new endless spells. To coincide with today's article.

Something for the Votann, maybe? Psychic geomancy effect?

Looks like a Saurus shield. But isn’t a Saurus shield.

I mean, Saurus Guard haven't been resculpted yet.

Gold plated spikes? Fancy

I’m guessing temple guard or maybe spiky new skinks? I feel like the model may not be that large

i think it's the back for some kind of mount

Necromundan creature maybe?

It's a squig.

 StudentOfEtherium wrote:

I think you are right. More specifically it looks alot like the neck of a dracothian, and they would probably be up for resculpts sooner or later.

 GaroRobe wrote:

Almost certainly Temple Guard, yeah. They match the back spikes of the new Saurus pretty much exactly, down to the gold caps on their champion. I figure we'll see a lot of that sort of ornamentation on the Guard, so pretty much a shoe-in.

Mechanicum maybe?

Mmmm! DAEMON ENGINE!

It’s got legs, and it knows how to use them!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oooop, slightly ninja’s!

Willing to bet this ties in with the servo skull and claw thing.

Maybe not the same model (but probably is) but definitely the same range/aesthetic.

Could be a Vorax leg. It's different to the current Vorax, but still reasonably similar.

this is definitely a mechanicum robot and now i'm convinced that the others are too. might even be something we see revealed this weekend

Do vorax have spikes on claws?

Robo Rooster. For 40k Mechanicus of course.

It's a little early in the lifespan of the AdMech book for us to get new units, I think?

Not Online!!! wrote:

Not exactly like the rumour pic.

But there's nothing to say it couldn't be a minor redesign.



As I said previously, could also be the Ursarax, which haven't been for sale for aaaages (not that that means anything really, in the context of Forgeworld) or it could even be the Arlatax which has never had a model.


Or it might not be Mechanicum and could be Ad-Mech. Not sure if they're due a codex or not for 10th?

AdMech already got their codex for 10E.

 Kanluwen wrote:

Those technically aren’t AdMech, and won’t be in the codex any time soon.

AdMech already got their 10th edition codex. that's where the stilt-leg skitarii came from

we already know plastic mechanicum is coming from the last reveals show so i don't think it's too absurd for it to be that

Ah ok, so not likely to be Ad-Mech then. Guess they could be Dark-Mech. That'd give them an army they could bounce between both 30k and 40k. Although there's not exactly rules for Dark-Mech in 30k (yet) apart from 2 special characters.

The scuffed up paint job is all that's stopping me from being convinced it's Mechanicum. They just don't use that style on the FW kits. Not to say that couldn't change for the plastic range. Guess we'll find out for sure in a few days.
Announcing Dark-Mech over Mechanicum would be quite the rug pull!

Mechanicum - we just need to wait few days for the confirmation for HH reveal.

You mean Mechanicum(30k).

The Mechanicus(40k) have that scuffing on a lot of the "cream" colored paint parts.

There's a chance for something AdMech related to come out via Kill-Team, but whatever these things are is likely Newcromunda or 30k.

Looks Dark-mech to me, claw and what looks like heavy weathering on the armour panel don't look loyalist...

All of these robots things are dirty white with extreeeme chipping which doesn't match any established Eavy Metal scheme.

30k Mech is likely-ish but my money is on weird gak encountered by Necromunda dead hive explorers..

It's quite close to the chaos knights aesthetic as well

I hate that the organization rebranded by changing an "m" to an "s", so I get it! Wasn't meant to be nitpicky or anything.

Nah nah, I get it. It's an easy one to cause confusion with and in a conversation such the current, the distinction matters!
I'm not sure I've ever heard in lore reason why it changed from Mechanicum to Adeptus Mechanicus. Certainly nothings jumping to the fore.

 Kanluwen wrote:

If the new Necromunda thing is a Warhammer Quest-type game, I could see this (and the servo skull and claw pics) being from the bad guy faction. Slightly corrupted, slightly corroded, all DEADLY!

I think the next Chaos Knight release will be a proper Tyrant kit, whereas this looks smaller. I'm going to go with a Necromunda mech.

 Snrub wrote:

It was covered in HH: Binary Succession audio-drama. Basically having an Adeptus title gave them both loyalist status, and power in the Imperium.

I'll be amazed if there is one, there are enough HH knights out now to pull them into the books and call it done for chaos and imperial.

While the front plate and back spike make me doubt, the structure of the leg itself looks really similar to the one from the Killa Kan kit.

I mean, they could break them up into 3:
-"Relic Knights" that go into AdMech, but can theoretically be taken as Freeblades/Spiky Freeblades.
-"Imperial Knights", which just really need their own version of the "War Dog" kit adding a series of variants to the Armigers
-"Chaos Knights", which just really need a Tyrant.

For what its worth, the heal claw has a similar claw on the Ad-mech robo-horses, so I would not call it sinister enough to be heretical.

Something about the guardshield looks like necromundas fondness of ribbed shield plates.

While a possibility, the Cerastus might remain with Imperial Armour due to being part of the Horus Heresy range. I can also foresee the problem of customer demand for Chaos versions of the Cerastus, should they add them to the 40K codices. At least for now, the only pressure from Chaos Knight players is a Tyrant kit...

I mean, we still share the Armiger kit for the Huntsman and Executioner, as well as the Despoiler, so it's not just the Tyrant.

It would be so much easier if they just released upgrade kits for the Armigers & Wardogs, but you can at least make a Huntsman from the Wardog kit.

I might consider taking this into another thread, as its a little bit of topic.

It looks like there is no engine solved by AoS box.

I think that Necromunda reveal is solving at least 4 engines.

I'm not sure it solves any, other than suggesting that they could well be the other Spyrers.

Claws and legs are wrong. Orrus suits have flat feet/hooves and round fingers.

Could be for anything really. Although I guess wood suggests AoS over 40K.

Cities of Sigmar or Bretonnia or Empire. Flagellants?

Here we go, something undeniably Warhammer. Unambiguous, a little gothic, probably carried by someone with breathtakingly outdated views on inclusivity… it’s got the lot. We don’t even need to guess what this is, really.

lol

flagellants is a good guess, tho, i like that

I could see Cities getting new flagellants and the current ones getting booted back.

New Mordheim confirmed.

Or perhaps some redemptionist scrapyard throne of judgement walker.

Wooden shaft rules out Necromunda at least.

Little teaser for Empire perhaps. Not flagellants but maybe a priest hero or some such.

Haha, I like how they changed that blurb very quickly, guess someone at GW played their hand too early.

Outdated views on inclusivity... OK, I'll put some Orc Boys and Chaos Warriors in with my Empire units as they don't want to be a bigot now. I'm sure they'll get on well.

Comedy aside. Yeah that is most definitely some Empire TOW stuff.
