The last symbol is the eye, right? I'm betting on them being from Hysh, realm of light. Maybe they'll all be blind (intentionally or otherwise) though Deepkin already have the eyeless look covered.

More like an article that goes up an hour after midnight on Sunday to tie in with the Atlanta event, followed by a sixteen hour gap until we get the article for the following week's pre-orders.
Which at the time of posting this should give you a cozy thirty and a half hours of wandering what the eye band is all about.

Saturday, 9PM EST. Which for some of us is of course more like Sunday, but whatever. Any event happening in America that they're using EST and showing the band in the evening?
I'm going to assume that the reveal is at 9 Eastern Daylight Time (and not Standard Time).

But how will they look? Will the have the bone weapon or chaos-y blade from the rumour engine? Any crazy beasts or non-humans? A new HAT?!
I'm not sure what I'd actually like to see. Maybe something really different, like floating infant-sized mages with huge robes, and a few flesh-constructs they can attach to, like Stormfiends and their brainrats. That'd would be too extreme for the "beginner" bands, I guess, you could likely get into the Varanspire simply by knocking on the front door if you have such powers.

I also would like to see something about the rules, although like others have said, there are multiple avenues a player can take for skirmish rules.

Not that its effected any of the other warbands (Save the Iron Golems, I suppose) but it would be interesting if the Hysh band is made up of more elves than humans. Chaos elves are a thing now, so Traitors of Teclis could look cool

Hysh and Azyr are supposed to be the two Realms that are effectively 'clean' when it comes to taint and civilizations at this point in the storyline.
Azyr yes, but this line is from the Core book about Hysh:
"Since the coming of the Age of Sigmar, Hysh has gone fom a land of logic and order to a wilderness of broken dreams and shattered statues.
That which was not cast down by the subtle curses of Chaos has been smashed in the violence of open war. It is said that Lord Tyrion musters his forces for a great reconuest- but as yet, salvation has not come"
So Hysh is pretty much as bad as any other realm at the moment.

I would also like to see traitor elves and Fallen paladins. We have the grimy guys covered by the other warbands. Let’s have a look at what chaos in the realm of light looks like!

Not from stuff that originated in Hysh. A lot of it is Slaanesh "Invaders", same as Ulgu.

I could certainly get behind more Chaos elves. Honestly, more Chaos anything is welcome as far as I'm concerned. Chaos is much more fun as a threat that gnaws at the foundation of every society, not just humanity's. Same goes for undeath, not that that's relevant for Warcry though. Will be good to finally see the last warband.
3AM is a bit late/early for me, but I guess I'll have something fun to wake up to.

I would suggest reading the blurb on AoS.com about Hysh in the realms section. Some “stuff “definitely originated in Hysh.

Actually looking at the last faction icon... I'm gonna say Light after all.

Hysh Elves are singled out as ones who fell and most importantly are still falling to Slaanesh - would be a great new gang....
The Realm has not been expored much but alot of bad stuff happened there - like the other Realms - interestingly it was the setting for a meeting with the entire Grey Seer Order!

The Realm of Light is, at its heart, a place of pure white magic, a beacon of light that shines across the cosmos. Yet, like all the Mortal Realms, the Ten Paradises of Hysh suffered greatly during the Age of Chaos. Ruled by the Lord of Lumination, the god Tyrion and his brother Teclis, Hysh was, for untold aeons, a safe harbour for many races of aelves and the great and wise among humans. But the insidious power of Chaos was able to corrupt even the pure light of Hysh. It became a lure for the prideful and those who sought perfection, taking their good intentions and turning them to dark thoughts and dangerous obsessions. And so it is that the light now signals danger, as much as it does knowledge and purity.

Make sure you check back later today for the Pre-order Preview,
The Cypher Lords
The Cypher Lords are a gloriously weird Warcry warband, quite different from any of their more barbaric kin. Unlike, say, the bloodthirsty Blades of Khorne or the roaming Untamed Beasts, these mysterious cultists hail from a city in the Realm of Light called Nochseed and, to the wider Mortal Realms, seem more or less ordinary – barring perhaps their taste in headgear.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The Cypher Lords are as mad as the most frothing cultist of Tzeentch, delighting in spreading mayhem and madness wherever they go. They’re deadly fighters, too, using skills earned in the martial colleges of Nochseed to deadly effect, whether they’re cutting down rivals in the streets of their city or shedding blood in the shadow of the Vararspire to catch the attention of Archaon.
The Cypher Lords are the perfect warband for players that like the seductive, almost civilised side of Chaos – the esoteric cults and shadowy gatherings of nobles within cities all across the realms, as opposed to the unwashed, screaming barbarian masses outside them. They’re also perhaps our first-ever look at just what life might look like in the Realm of Light – a place which, until now, has been associated with the ordered kingdoms of Tyrion and Teclis.
This is my least favorite warband of the 6. Which isnt really a knock as the rest have been stunning. I think its the clean look that makes me not like them. Dont feel Chaosy. I get what they are going for. Just not my thing.
I like the look of them overall and they achieve a great design, but the helms are really not my style. That said they look like a great very tzeentch inspired force.
Right now I'm thinking the Unmade and The Untamed are the two most likely to be my choices. Umnade have a bit of a Slaanesh and a twisted bloody darkness to them whilst being lithe and acrobatic in form and pose; whilst the Untamed have a more wild barbarian appeal

These may be my favorite yet, and that's really saying something. I like that it isn't just more leather and spikes, and the premise of "civilized chaos" is something that I'd never really thought about, but could be very cool.

Big swing and a miss for me. Can’t tell the boys from the girls, the head dresses are silly, don’t see any Aelves..... just not my style. I had high hopes for this one but, oh well lol
