DantePQ Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 New Idoneth Deepkin info, some interesting lore information 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) I really quite like that the Idoneth - or at least some of them - feel guilty over their actions. I'm guessing it was done to distance them from the inevitable Dark Eldar comparisons, but it's nice to see a somewhat more nuanced faction who aren't just unrepentant in doing nasty stuff without remorse because Grimdark(tm)... it actually makes said Grimdark(tm) all the better.

Gaz Taylor Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Thoughts.... @Clan's Cynic No Swearing please! Rumour Image - Looks like fur to me. I'm thinking Space Wolves Idoneth Deepkin info from White Dwarf - I like this info as it paints them out similar to Drukari (Dark Eldar) but more that they are doing it to survive rather than taking pleasure from the raids (although I'm sure do). Makes them more 'real' and paints them out in a bit of a tragic light as it's something they need to do to survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Space Wolves Please don't be right - that would be some terrible version of fur. My guess is a squig of some kind - with all the orc infos surfacing it is as possible as a plastic thunderhawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLV Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 It could be the new mounts the new Stormcast will be riding? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a guess or will we have another set of mounted Stormcast?? We already have Stromcast riding Dracoths and Gryph-Chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they now always 3d print a 2/3/4 up model from the 3d files? The Eisenhorn model preview was clearly 3d printed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 It looks like a Kroot spine the most. They have been in the rumors lots. Would be funny to see them drop. However it’s most likely something 40k related with the space wolves (boring). If it’s AoS it’s probably another elemental like that purple one.

If you turn it upside down, I think it’s chest fur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have to agree it’s fur of some sort after seeing it. That or long odds some sort of weird fin of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rou Dantes Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) The tips may resemble fur, but the valleys in between are far too rounded, especially when you compare them to that Space Wolf. Fur is generally sculpted with parallel grooves to depict collected strands of hair and with sharp indentations towards the roots to mimic the way hairs part. In the rumor mill pic, the valleys between the spikes are very curved and smoothed out in a way that is more difficult to sculpt, both digitally and traditionally. You'd have to intentionally round them out, which wouldn't make sense if you were trying to sculpt fur or hair. Traditionally, you'd stick pointed sculpting tools into the clay/putty/whatever to create spiky hair, and digitally, defining concave or convex curved surfaces is an additional and more mathematically complicated step beyond determining more simple lines and single curved planes. I'd say that the sweeping curves leading up to the peaks more closely resemble fins or a spiked shell or carapace, but could also be water, fire or some kind of magical effect. With more unseen Idoneth on the way, I think an aquatic creature or water effect is pretty probable. With the ork rumors, it may be something like a squig, although scales and reptilian spikes often have sharper indentations between plates, so I'm leaning towards it being an aquatic creature or something non-solid like water or magic.

Sheriff Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 It's like the head of the big squig. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 There’s the obvious unsolved rumor pic from last year that was something orc. Probably a squig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's not the 95% share that space marines have in 40k! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rou Dantes Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hey, you never know, GW did just release a 40k box that had ZERO Space Marines. The times, they are a changin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
