That's definitely a leak and not intentional GW marketing, only a true leaker would post a tiny bit of one model rather than the whole thing!

To be fair, if the true leaker happens to be a troll, this is the exact kind of leak we should expect.

Ruination chamber

Yes, and?

Ruination is the action of ruining someone or something or of being ruined.
The dude on the leaked cover sure as heck doesn't look to fit the "being ruined" definition.

The previous Chambers have been more about preserving mortals and Sigmar's ideas. Might be some purgin' getting ready to happen.

Nice broad net of Verminus, Skryre, and Moulder. Hopefully the new behemoth is a spiritual successor to the Brood Horror.

Little disappointed by Pestilens and Eshin actively losing units without gaining anything, I didn't think it was possible for those ranges to be in a worse position.

Is there anything more specific on the apparent new Verminlord? I assume a new character rather than a replacement for the existing kit?

Don't really know the lore behind the Verminlords but is there a reason Moulder and Skyre don't have one? If not it could be for those, either a completely new one or a upgrade sprue for the old one. Would make sense if they, together with Verminus, are the focus of this update

I believe there has been a Skryre Verminlord at some point in the past, but I see the general lack of them stemming from those two Clans being more "scientifically" oriented. They all venerate the Great Horned Rat, but daemons are supposed embody the concepts and ideals of the cultures that spawned them, and "We make monstrosities of the flesh for fun and profit" and "We jam as much warpstone into a metal frame as possible to see what happens" aren't really philosophies suited to creating daemons. Tabletop-wise, I suppose they have Verminlord equivalents in Hellpit Abominations (and Brood Horrors at one time) and to a lesser extent Boneripper (plus the Warp Lightning Cannon also feels like the pinnacle of Skryre philosophy made real).

That said, the Verminlord kit was an End Times product but still firmly rooted in The World That Was, and the focus on Skryre in the less restricted Mortal Realms does open up the possibility of introducing a biomechanical daemon engine Verminlord. A Moulder Verminlord feels like a harder sell, they're quite arrogant beings, and the horrific shambling flesh golems typical of the

Clan "live"(?) a quite unenviable existence.

On the other hand, Skreech Verminking can draw upon the specializations of Skryre & Moulder so it is obviously possible for Verminlords to do so. Who knows?

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Warpstone, anyone?

that's definitely the skittering of chaos dwarves

Yes please

**His Master's Voice**

So where does warpstone come from in AoS? Does it just coalesce from residual chaos energies? Is there some not-Morrslieb hurtling through the realms' skies, sprinkling rat coke along the way?

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Coalesced chaos magic. All the realms have their own iteration, but varanite is the most potent and dangerous.

**Dragon-knight77**

Surprise this wasn't posted here but but another potato came leak

First look a the the cover art Stormcast lord model wise

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Looks like the cover of the rulebook. Could be the redone Vandus.

**chaos0xomega**

New celestant prime?

praise be to the potato camera department. This release keeps getting better.

**GaroRobe**

Will we make it to Adepticon before everything is leaked? The world may never know

**CMLR**

If Eons of Battle is to trust, SCE vs OBR!

**Matrindur**

Next batch of images

First one seems to be similar to this one just less ornate so maybe a leader and his generic unit?

Spoiler:

Second one seems obviously connected to this one

Spoiler:

**Kid_Kyoto**

So corrupted or undead Stormcast?

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I don't see anything that really suggests either of those.

**Geifer**

Yeah, it's just celestial swirly crap.

**lord_blackfang**

Looks like tattered swirly crap to me, and only evil can be tattered as we all know.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Could just be extra swirly gak, but to me it looks rotted and corrupted. I guess we'll see.

We also have the big SIGMAR LIED message. Evil Stormcast, or undead Stormcast "loyalty beyond death!" would work.

Basically Legion of the Damned Stormcast.

You have it the wrong way around. It's only tattered if it's evil. If it's good, the exact same thing is wispy instead.

Good is just evil with better PR.

**Dudeface**

The problem is for a great many, the pale off white scheme and blue-greey ecto-goop immediately brings things like this to mind:

Spoiler:

**Shadow Walker**

Maybe those are simply the usual sigmarine lightning/electrical effects distorted by the blurry image?

**Kid_Kyoto**

I'm not sure MOAR Stormcast would be novel and interesting enough to catch attention.

I really felt like the "Sigmar Lied" catchphrase implies some sort of corruption or problem. It could mean just "oh yeah Skaven exist" but as others pointed out that's not as much of a revelation in AoS as it is in The Olde Worlde.

There is some sense to bringing the 1st and 2nd ed models up to the same standard the 3rd ed models set. Sigmarines used to look wide. Now they have actual human proportions. GW would deal with a portion of its potential customers who'll stay away from older Sigmarines just as there are people who can't stand old Marine proportions now that Primaris set a way better standard. It's a problem that could use a fix, and we have enough to go on that this is actually happening.

As for Sigmar Lied (which is German and translates to song of Sigmar, so you're all misinterpreting that anyway

), Sigmarines already got some grimdarkening in their 2nd ed battletome where the writers tacked on a theme of oppression of order. Sigmarines don't have to fall to Death or Chaos to have the facade of shiny defenders tarnished. GW could easily drive along that thread without dropping the clean and gleaming appearance of the models.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I like to think this could be a representation of reforging's that have gone too far. The ripping and tearing of the soul actually manifesting visually on the body.

I'm not a heretic. What this tattoo? It means The Emperor, The, in German.

**Matrindur**

Next image, this time we have one of the new Liberators. And sadly it still has that nose ridge that we already saw in Realms of Ruin that I really don't like:

**Inquisitor Gideon**

I like that, much more sleek. Interesting that there's been no skaven dump yet.
