I’m not sure that’s a gator, it looks more like a hunched creature to me. It would be pretty small otherwise I think. yeah the way they are doing is a bit bizarre compare to regular preview i wouldn't be surprise if they held back on saturaday and they reveal the rest of the other new stuff at a late preview show and just drag they hype cycle a bit more Edited July 1, 2021 by novakai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't stop me guessing though. Maybe it will look like this? Oh hell yes, that's the trick. There's a whole range of prehistoric 'horse-crocs' or long-legged terrestrial crocodilians, that could be a way to think about this. Just these roaring lanky nightmares bursting out of the vegetation and galloping towards you. Whether or not GW actually drew on these beasts, well.

With swamp monster motives, but an artillery piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtus-XIV Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Seems unlikely now but would have laughed if it were the stormcast that got gator mounts instead of the boyz. Also definitely looks like a cage for prisoners on its back. Edited July 1, 2021 by Virtus-XIV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 That head does look pretty damn crocodilian or reptilian at the very least, keen to see it in all it's (hopefully) crocodilian glory. Bit less keen on the prospect of the Kruleboyz and Stormcast reveals being even further dragged out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the bottom jaw in the silhouette, it has a very distinctive curved lower jaw tip with protruding teeth. reminds me of a Spinosaurus skull. But the GW Troglodon model is already based on that creature, so 'Im betting its their rendition of a fantasy sarcosuchus or other giant prehistoric crocodile. Whatever its modeled after, It appears to be a large predatory beast with that looks like scaffolding on its back and two "crow cages" where the Kruelboyz can store prisoners/snacks for their mount. I wonder if it will have the TOTEM keyword? I hope it has a poisonous breath weapon. Here's a Sarcosuchus skull for fun: 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I know everyone is screaming about gators...but... That preview picture looks like the Hobgrot cavalry unit we've been hearing about. It's an armored gnashtooth and has cages for slaves (to be traded to the Chaos dwarves as per the lore). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got the feel of a centerpiece model, those two prisoner crow cages on its back necessitate hat its a larger miniature than a standard mount. And with a name like sludgeraker, it implies something different than a gnashtooth. It could be a giant Gnashtooth, though it seems a waste of a development slot, when they could have hobgrots or kruelboyz riding a 5 man squad of normal gnashtooths.

JackStreicher Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Depending on how the Crockodile looks it might be a great stand in for a black dragon ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Guys, it’s unfortunately not a gator. It’s not Hobgrot either, the dude is in the Orruk garb and the beast is covered in the same spiky bits as the Killaboss on Gnashtoof. So it’ll be Orruk but, while I’d love to be wrong, I’m fairly certain it’s not the rumoured gator, it’s certainly a beast of some kind though.

sandlemad Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Admittedly it's just a silhouette but the rider looks more like a kruleboy ork than a hobgrot to my eyes. Lots of rags and bent spikes, not much like the tidy-ish dwarf-forged hobgrot gear we've seen so far. Given the cage, some link to this 'Gitsnatcherz' subfaction maybe? If those are traditional subfactions and not divisions of units (like the Grundstok units for KO) then maybe this is the preferred mount of Gitsnatcherz warlords or something.

Murder Pancake Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I have absolutely no idea what is going on in that preview picture, but I am pretty sure the model will look fantastic on top my gf's pile of shame. Hopefully we get one tomorrow to add to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmaug Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 And here's another way to look at it. What we think is a creatures head on the lower left, is actually part of a larger siege machine. With bodies pinned to it , hung from the spikes, like the tongue on the Kruelboys hero totem. That row of symmetrical spikes could be the top of a gibblet, with a body stuck on there spread-eagle. two of those dangling sillhouettes look an awfully lot like human thighs and calves. This whole thing could be some nasty scaffold system of a war machine. Could even be sitting on top of a huge gator we cant see in the picture. Or its a Hobgrot taskmaster on a warwagon, being pulled by captured humanoids from Excelsis. :😁 But boy oh boy, does that lookllike a pair of Jaws 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
