The Advent (Rumour) Engine 2023

[Marshal Rohr]

Not to be too spicy but if Krieg get a full release maybe they rotate out the veteran guardsmen box and replace it with Catachans and that is how GW will test the waters for which regiments get expanded

Mine too, but likely not for the same reasons.

More that I'd have to buy a bunch more of the resin death riders before GW takes the OG line to the glue factory.

[Waaagh?]

Watch this just turn out to be a one off Ltd Krieg model for wh+ or store birthdays.

I think this is almost certainly for AoS (Kurnothi or Darkoath if you want my bets), it's definitely not a Krieg horse as the feet/hooves are all wrong:

Let’s not forget that it might also be a WH: Old World miniature. Just as with 40k and HH, GW seems to be interested in separating the ranges of these two systems.

Or they could just redesign the kreig hooves…how do they compare to the new RR hooves?

 

i can see a death rider kit being an upgrade sprue tbh

It's either a Serephon mini or a Squig.

That would be awful.

Could be a horror of some kind? Pink, Blue or Character?

I honestly don't think it's either.

 

Something chaosy for me. 

[TrawlingCleaner]

If it's for 40k, maybe it's an updated Spawn? Those poor guys are ancient and whilst goofy plays into their vibe, I wonder what they'd look like with a modern update

[Kharn13]

I think that’s Hamadrya!

That would be quite the upsize of the hamadrya.. looking at detailwork the RE would be at minimum a facesize comparable to the AoS chaos monstrous mount but could have a bigger face than the Squigshark !

I fully expect it in the rules to be a token to have one autosave then,

I do see it possible the hamadrya will slightly grow in size for the eventual release.. but I dont think they will make huron blackheart a cavalry model riding a tenfold hamadrya.

 

Personally I think the underjaw is too far for GWs more "serious" monsters anyway and more in line with Nurgle and indeed squig designs.. the tongue too is in line with those. However it doesnt have Nurgle's token blisters and gore, but this is such a small element of the total picture, and it makes sense to be the ride of the nurgle librarian RE ( wich likely is throned/seated or the composition wouldnt make sense.)

 

as for squigs, it obviously wouldnt be the regular type squig ( its too big anyway ) but it could be a more special squig variant.

40k Orks are on the immediate roadmap so its not impossible to be a 40k squig-cousin for beastsnaggas, however I think its too small for a 40k Squiggoth.. also the small pierce armor does not fit 40k ork style.

the small armored part could fit gloomspite armor elements, but I dont see them getting another big release so short after the last ones.

Looks a lot like the more gritty design of the Pink Horror in Rogue Trader game.

While this would be cool, I don't think it is. The skin texture is completely different and the shape/angle of upper jaw doesn't match. Also there looks to be a solid material on the upper jaw shown on advent image that the Horror doesn't have.

[Alby the Slayer]

Upper left there is seems to be some type of armour and the colour pattern appears to be "scaly". Seraphon?

 

Or it's a new Tzeentch demon.   

 

Those fangs are throwing me off.

[gideon stargreave]

The teeth don’t share design language with a single squig or seraphon model. (If you’re being generous it’s a bit like the forge world one’s artwork). It does share design language with a lot of tzeentch/ spawn stuff

[Cyrox]

Could be one of those Exodite dinosaur things they ride?

[TrawlingCleaner]

As pointed out elsewhere by our own @Sarges (full credit to them for the find), it does look an awful lot like Varanguard:

 

In fact I think you can see a couple of pixels where the gold trim ends to the left of the rivet

 

More Chaos bits for conversions is more good!

Unknown, but my gut instinct would be that Exodites would probably ride something a bit more elegant looking. Elf sensibilities and all. :)

[sarabando]

could be a Fimir

Makes sense because there is a rumour engine image from a couple of months ago that is a Chaosey looking spear - supposedly belongs to a character mentioned in one of the earlier Dawnbringer books (Her Highness In Ruin) who is boss of the Varangard.

Another day, another potion, I'd imagine it's another part of this:

There have been official visualisations of exodites, and they are not as far from the RE as you'd expect, however all of them are quite old.. and I do think they'd go a different ( and more elegant ) direction if doing it now.

 

We have the original ( at least the first the public saw in the 2nd edition codex ) John blanche illustration, wich shows a steed with a head not to far removed from the chaos varanguard mentioned above.

 

 

There is the Jes goodwin concept, more dinosaur like... and imho not his finest conceptart. ( I think the proportions do not work most of all.)

 

Spoiler

 

 

There is ofcourse the Epic miniatures released in limited capacity.

Spoiler

 

And lastly ( in the timeline ) we have the coverart for the Horus Heresy Promethean sun novel. This goes back to the monstrous teeth of blanche. ( but with less charm)

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

But unless the Horus heresy mystery army release is exodites, wich Id expect least of all, I think the focus on eldar is getting rid of resin and new stuff is a long way off. And that is ignoring the fact that this RE doesnt have any eldar vibes... despite not necessarily unfitting to old exodite steed art.
