It screams Sylvaneth, but could well end up being a scenic piece for something completely different.

I kind of dislike how flat the bugs look. Tiny things like that rarely translate well on models

it's definitely something sylvaneth. probably new basing materials, since they've already done "tree person with honeycombs" in Drycha Automatically Appended Next Post:
i'd love for it to be nurgle. they need to stress the "god of life in microcosm" aspect more, I feel, and this would be a fun way of doing that for a character centerpiece model

Yeah the camo-jacket is new but the canisters have a Votann feel and Valrak has foot pioneers/rangers as the next Killteam set.

What do you think gives the canister a Votann feel? They don't have anything overly similar to it that I can find.

The canister isn't definitive enough for me on anything. It looks like a part from the Cadian Shock Troop sprue. I think the DKoK have one too.

There is something about the design feel of it to me- the ridges, the indent and the suggested over all form that just has a Votann feel. The camo and the strapping are very unfamiliar though, but haven't seen that on any other ranges so it could be new.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it's a Cadian Sniper Team. They weirdly don't have Sniper Rifles as an option in their "iconic" unit, despite two novel covers of late featuring snipers.

Would be about time for the special weapon squad to make a comeback, and a 6 strong sniper team is as good a place to start as any.

a dedicated Cadian sniper unit would make sense. all IG has right now for that is snipers as a weapon option for infantry squads, and ratling snipers. they could use something to properly fill that role (would be a shame if it was Cadians, tho)

Looking at it some more, maybe it could be for the Leagues?
Obviously not exact matches but:

Also, the length of the coat.
If the equipment is in the small of the back, the length would be suited to a Kin.

That's assuming it's a full-cloak, rather than a half-cloak or something just draped down.

I find it interesting that Ratlings are so heavily associated with camo-cloaks for Guard, when only 1:5 of the current models feature one. They're supposed to be naturally sneaky, not necessarily needing the tools that others do.

yeah, this is a good point. i think i'm more convinced of it being votann than guard (but it could absolutely be either) Automatically Appended Next Post:
much like tau, the most interesting part of IG is the weirder auxiliary stuff, so i'd be cheering if ratlings got a new sculpt. there's a lot of potential there!

Yeah, I'm 100% convinced it's not Votann. Whatever it is, it's an individual component not attached to a model.

They sometimes edit out other parts of the model so they don't reveal too much. The recent Dark Angels Inner Circle rumour engine picture was just their backpack sword floating without it being on them for example.

They have canisters, but they don't look overly similar to that.
