Beastmaster Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Tzeentch or Slaanesh, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Decorated horns or more likely tusks ... looks interesting. The decorations make me think Slaanesh or similar however I could see it easily be a named character for a destruction faction that doesn't necessarily resemble the rest of the faction that much.

mojojojo101 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Looks like the dice for the sisters of battle box are perfectly sensible and usable dice... I must have missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Assuming the two images are of the same model, I could see a rider with a spear on some kind of horned creature, or else something more like a minotaur or satyr like horned creature.

Dirtnaps Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 6 minutes ago, madmac said: New Rumor Engine: Yeah...I got nothing on this one. the one thing I'll note is that the tassels look like they match with the spear butt looking rumor engine from a while back, so it looks like a shared aesthetic, and because I can't see this one being 40k, I'm guessing they are both AoS. I can't think of any existing units with this kind of aesthetic, so new race, maybe? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's either Hysh aelves because the casing of the tassel in the first rumour engine pic is similar to the less aquatic elements of the Idoneth or it's some kind of expansion for the Cypher Lords because I feel it sort of fits their asethtic.

madmac Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The Gem on the horns is a pretty good match for the gems Cypher Lords are covered with, so that's a good call out. The metalwork is a little differently shaped though, and their stuff is spikier. Plus their aesthetic is Hyshian, so... I'm going to guess either Tzeentch or Aelf. It doesn't quite line up with anything we've seen, so it's hard to pin down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I hope it's aelvish - I need egyptian-like miniatures for my free city. That "eye" on the horns definitely looks egyptian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landohammer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Lots of people were already guessing a Kurnothi faction was in the works prior to this rumour engine...

Thiagoma Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I dont get the "metal tips" on the "horns". If it were Antlers or a Weapon, it wouldnt make much sense covering the piercing part. If it is a tail, now an extra weight could be effective to hit something harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I thought Slaanesh at first glance. It's got that ornate look to it. That said it could also be aelven. As for the "blunt tips" don't forget that, in reality, pointed bone can shatter and break so tipping the end of a bone/antler weapon isn't too daft. It's just like putting a shoe on a horse. In the wild its fine, but for prolonged combat it actually makes good logical sense. Plus never underestimate the power of a ball against armour and the resulting breaking of bones and crushing of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just now, JackStreicher said: Both true yet IDK usually need to save their CP for turn 3. Thats the point: Do you want to always spam buffed eels turn 3 or play something different? That is the downside to the turn 3 CP´s: You deny yourself ressources for this tactic. It could be argued that this is bad design by gw as the rule is too seductive to play something else, but it can´t be argued that Idoneth do have the same toolbox to access to work around battleshock like any other army.

Chumphammer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We have had new Slaanesh and Khorne, so my 2 cents is its Tzeentch cause they need an update I think If left field, Serephon. I think we will see them both of those updated before new Aelves (as much as I would love new Aelves, We had IDK and DoK not that long ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
