FEC or SoB (40k)?

Obligatory Vampire Pirates proof.

The Fleur Du Lis esque design on the central piece makes me move toward 40k with SoB. The bottom connecting piece also has an industrial vibe - which fits that SoB style of Catholic Gothic mixed with 40k sci fi industirialism.

According to my data, that I am not sure how accurate it is, Leadbelchers and Ogors sprues are from 2005, Freeguild Pistoliers/Outriders are from 2007 and the Greatsword from 2009, so it would not be impossible to see them in duel box. 

No one speaks of the Warhammer preview on Christmas day? Is going to be just an article, but hopefully solving at least a good chunk of the "advent calendar" rumour engines.

Going to shout it might be the LoN official teaser after the Halloween teaser and the Inquisition/SoB wave for 40k - or one not the other.

I think we need to have all of Slaanesh revealed before we get anything concrete on LoN. If Slaanesh is the main driving force in the next Broken Realms book I don't see them squeezing LoN in there, as well. It's just too much at once. I think LoN is the book after next, so we would need to get the whole Slaanesh hype cycle out of the way first.

Based off of the way the preview is worded, I think it seems like it will be a broad tease of things to come. I agree with those who say a Slaanesh Line reveal, but I would not be surprised if we don't get a little video with some silhouettes and rumour engine style abstract close ups of upcoming models. A random space marine bolter will fuel speculation of some character, that I have never heard of, meanwhile we will continue to salivate and argue about a random rapier*.  

And Good times shall be had by all! 😇

*Either that or we get the much anticipated new specialist game critters and keys!

Might be a Scion but I’d be leaning more towards a vampire rapier and dagger pair. The Scion’s shtick with those commando daggers is WWII special ops, which doesn’t make me think of fingering the guard like this.

We have one image of another weirdly skinny hand holding a rapier in a similar way:

They could well be part of the same model/unit.

When these models get released we ought to make our own community rules for critters and keys.

I will say that no matter what these swords are for they will be used for free guild in the end.

Time to vote for model of the year. I mean the choice is obvious isnt it? ISNT IT!?!? Ahem sorry, Mega Gargant is the answer.

Was a pretty easy vote for the Dread Pageant for me. My favourite models in a long time.

I voted Mindstealer Sphiranx. It might not be the most ambitious model, or the most spectacular or technically impressive. But I loved painting the first one I bought so much that I got a second one right after. And I don't even play Warcry or Slaves to Darkness.

Well I would have taken any Skaven model, but considering that they have been lacking some new models for quite some time, (excluding everything we have gotten in the end times, the blood island kit and the bombardier), I guess Bugmanson has to do

I voted Light of Eltharion because it was such a cool and novel effect... but then I saw the Mindstealer Sphiranx and took like 20 minutes deciding between the two. I went walking armour though because the novelty of it still impresses me. I would be pretty much all in for an entire army with that conceit. 

I think the Sphiranx is a fantastic design and sculpt but the Light of Eltharion is those things and a technical marvel. As for the Mega Gargant, it is maybe my favourite kit of the year but since I prefer some builds over others it was really hard to decide how to place it.
