Though the Anvil there may mean something else. Dwarves are pretty close allies of the Stormcast, they might share some Heraldry or some sort of mixed icon?

good point.  maybe a free person's model a new devoted of sigmar?

It certainly looks armour-esq.  Could be a shield but the bottom looks too angular (Duardin shield possibly).  Could be a new Ironweld artillery piece.  I'd say that it's from Azyr in some format because the lion head features a lot on Stormcast (shoulderpads, Dracoth armour etc), the anvil does suggest Duardin/Ironweld though.

Definitely stormcast related :( unless GW is deliberately trolling us.

 

Perhaps this is a model tied to a Stormcast/Duardin alliance along the same lines as the Stormcast /Sylvaneth thing.

 

They wouldn't ally with Kharadron, would they?

I look at the lion styling on the armour and I think that it's certainly Stormcast...

Then I tell myself that no one at GW could possibly think that another Stormcast release is a good idea given how the factions and alliances stand right now... right? 

 Right...? :(

Isn't there a Stormhost that has something to do with anvils/anvils in the name? (I'm not familiar with all the Stormcast background)

I'm starting to lose patience with these rumour engine teasers. We still have unrevealed teasers from March 22nd - the lamprey eel with wings perched on a dark elf arm and 29th March - the weird bone plow thing. Over a quarter of a year ago! We need reveals now GW! Not a another Liony McLion Face!

I was just wondering if it might have something to do with the Anvils of Heldenhammer Stormcast, who I think might have some Stormcast reforged from heroes from shyish, and who played quite a big role in Sigmar trying to recruit Nagash in 'Lord of Undeath'. Which makes be wonder if there might be some connection with death at some point down the line.

Think or hope ;)

True, but that also means that this might part of christmas release ;) (really hoping, because I still wish for a starter set without stormcast or bloodbound to support GHB2 and this looks very Stormcasty)

Sigmar has a big anvil in the fluff doesn't he? For reforging Stormcasts?

Yeah, the smiths reforge the stormcast on the 'Anvil of Apotheosis'.

An interesting note is that a Duardian god made the armour they wear, and there is mention of the 'Six Smiths'. 

Seeing a Duardian Azyr based army could be cool. As for all the stormcast fatigue, there is only like 4 chambers and a temple without models. ;)

To the Stormcast players saying they need something better than a Celestant Prime, no you don't. SCE can already shoot as well or better than Wanderers, melee as well as Orruks, survive better than anyone else, and move around the table/deploy like Sylvaneth. You don't NEED to have the equivalent of what other armies are themed around. It's actually okay for other armies to have something that SCE DON'T have. 

I feel like SCE (the faction, not the players) are like the children that cry whenever another kid gets something that they don't also get.

But it's a fun ugly model. We need a good looking one ;)

Also just put Ghal Maraz in a museum and give the man a sword. ;)

 

I'm still here waiting for Death Ragular Humans and Aelfs.

The SC passed their limit with the rangers release. That was unnecessary.

I was looking threw the New Warhammer 40K book and I noticed something that I thought people on this thread might find interesting.  There are is a section on the book where they describe various major battles going on between Chaos and other forces where they talk a little bit about the events and have a little list of the players involved.   In the list the Pestigor Legions are listed multiple times other things too like ,  Redhorn Bloodgors, SporeWalker-Colossal Beast and a Tentacled Behemoth-WarpMonster are all listed for in Korn, Nurgle and Slaanesh army's respectively.

I would say this is a strong hint that both Nurgle and Korn are going to get Tzaangors equivelents and that there might be some big beastys also on the way, all of witch I would bet would be for both 40k and AOS.

What do you guys think of that? If you have the new 40K rule book and want to look it up yourself look on pages 158-167

 

Cheers,

Ratty

Dude for starters, great name.

I would not mind. I'm trying to get people into AoS, but no one really likes Khorne and SC. 

And I already play SC.

Some variety on the chaos range would be nice. No one wants to start a game with "old" plastic minis.
