Odd that they’ve not called out Heresy, when they’ve shown what is clearly a Thanatar Calix

[DeadFingers]

Lucius is that you me boy me lad?

In a strange turn of events the Calix is for Necromunda

I was thinking Knights reveal there...with more EC reveals per the first shadow. Middle picture is for Old World but I'm not sure which factions are still to come. A sand worm for Necromunda and what looks like Soul Blight Grave Lords?

[TheHaplessHeretic]

I can't wait until they reveal that Lucius sculpt, the pose on the silhouette looks perfect so far. I just hope his face/head doesn't look too daft.

Maybe some sort of scavenged, run-down version you can hire from a Heretek?

I dont think they are for the reveal show, the line reads as if this is their quickly assembled 2025 teaser.

Last 3 are AoS I think .. including the longest running rumor engine   

[Cenobite Terminator]

This might be where we see the SM 2nd wave premiere.

Middle one has a square base

I'm seeing a few extra chains hanging off it. I'm thinking it's the Thousand Sons Psy-Automata.

Reading the article I didnt expect the video to have them too.

Yes i see, and in the video this seems to indeed focus on LVO ;)

[Vassakov]

First one is almost cetainly Lucius, second - perhaps those Thousand Son's psychic robots that have been hinted at?

 

3rd one, probably Old World - Beastmen maybe? 4th one something nasty for Necromunda and then last - my first thought was a Dragon Prince style hero for High Elves but actually I think Soulblight Gravelords is on the money.

[Indy Techwisp]

The 3rd one is apparently a plastic Beastman for TOW, so near guaranteed to piss off any Beasts of Chaos players left.

 

The 1st of obv an EC Character, specifically the EC Lord with a pipe organ on his back that's been rumoured.

 

2nd is likely the TSons Psy-Automata. I would say "or a Plastic Thanatar that's not being shown at LVO" but the Plastic Thanatar is out already.

 

The 4th is definitely something Necromunda, probably another beastie for the Ash Wastes Nomads or another abomination for the Malstrain GSC.

 

5th resembles the AoS "Wight King on Skeletal Steed" model, so it's almost certainly a new Black Knight for Soulblight Gravelords.

 

Edit:

Interestingly, no Warcry, Killteam or Horus Heresy.

Warcry makes sense, as it's apparently up for a new edition like Horus Heresy, but Killteam seems conspicuous by it's absence.

Lucius looks quite promising!

Following up on my post.

By "EC Lord with a Pipe Organ" I mean this guy:

I watched an entire kallax unit draw of unassembled Beasts of Chaos boxes collectively shift from an AoS project to an Old World project.  At least Morghur's side plot for AoS is going to spawn something fun there.

 

The Thanatar-Calix and Lucius are looking spicy. Looking forward to those.

[01RTB01]

High elves or blight lords at the end. Who'd have thought they'd have similar design language when silhouetted?!

 

Can't see it being anyone other than Lucius first, hopefully this means we see the whole range and not just Lucius, although a long tease would be faction appropriate.

With the whip and sword, with Valrak's 'rumour' I'm placing large sums on Lucius.

A) The skeletal legs on the Horse make me lean towards SBGL.

 

B) Looking at the wider shot, yeah Lucias is more likely.

I think it might lead into the Thousand Sons rumour about them getting possessed mechanicum units back like the heresy 

[sitnam]

If it wasn't for the lack of Heresy being listed, I wouldn't think that Thanatar would be for 40k. Just doesn't seem gribbly enough from the silhouette to be Tzeentch twisted 

 

Idk, maybe right off frame it has tentacle feet

[Dagoth Ur]

I have no idea why people are speculating that the automata is a thousand sons psy robot. Its silhouette is exactly that of the already existing Thanatar Cavas, its main weapon is obviously the Solex pattern heavy lascannon and the ribbed tubing behind its right hand side matches that of the Calix' graviton ram weapon exactly. I'd be extremely surprised if this isn't a Thanatar Calix slated for the 2nd mechanicum wave in plastic. It doesn't even have any trim or anything that would tie it to the Thousand Sons. I'd be less surprised by the on-foot EC mini being Doomrider than this being anything but a bog standard Thanatar Calix.

Maybe it's got a different hand option so the bird Talon hand we're looking for isn't as obvious

The first is clearly Lucius, and the 2nd is also exactly a Thanatar Calix, which isn’t in plastic yet.

Whitefang said the SBGL is getting Deathrattle expansion army set.
