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

I agree with the GSC guesses.

I was just about to suggest hedonites.
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.

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?

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

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.

HH Decimator variant?

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

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.

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.
