The blue gems also suggests Order I think. Was hopeful for Slaanesh or Vampire at first but I'm guessing aelf based on the "cheery" gems and bright base.

Rogue Explorator Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think the pattern on the left looks a fair bit old world dark elf. I wouldn't be surprised to see Shadowkin close on the heel of Arcanites, being the second faction teased/previewed in Silver Tower and all.

buffalozap Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Here is a picture of the dark eldar raider baseplate overlapped on the cape pattern. I am reposting the work of an anon from another site who deserves the credit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they got a whole new hero character? I sound like a broken record but I would go with them as the "Human" faction they sit in that high fantasy chair quite well.

Cant remember id thats what is called exactly but Tzeentchs fortress definatly has something like that and has used mirrors as a theme quite often. I also think that the aesthetic fits the past few releases. Wouldnt be surprised if they were all linked.

If only one I suspect a start collecting box. If two start collecting + a starter box? We'll see but thats were i'm placing my bets.

Yeah i think people need to remember that its likely GW will create new versions already existing rolls. When they made ironjaws they made a weirdnob shaman rather than remoddelling the standard ork shaman. The chances are this new model could be a new type of tzeenth sorceror or perhaps the 'Totem' model that each army seems to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I still think it's tzeentch the thousand sons have the same coloured robes and the tzeentch followers in the sliver tower have the same type of gems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus81 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Dark Eldar and Dark Evles use that scheme too. Everything up until this one "seems" to be Duardin/Tzeentch related. The keys are a little iffy, but plausible. I just don't expect a feminine style cloak for Tzeentch. If this is all one box set to launch the next campaign it could be a character from a different faction for giggles. It will be really interesting to see all the reveals.

Perhaps it's clear tzeentch is going to lead into the aelves and slaanesh story wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely a possibility that it's Aelves, but with the Tzaangors being most likely an AoS kit, I think Tzeentch is a safe bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lyons Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) So, in the comments of our show this week and in the Facebook group I suggested that we might be looking at a Death-aligned Shadowkin faction under Malarion or Morathi. Obviously the pattern looks dark aelves/shadowkin but the purple is that of the priests of Morr and similar death aligned stuff from prior lines. The gems obviously look aelven. Narratively, my rationale was that the turn towards Death makes a lot of sense. With so many elves having perished and slaanesh having bloated himself with elf souls, it would make sense for Malerion, after capturing Slaanesh, to try to extract the souls of the aelves from slaanesh, hence the return-them-at-all-costs turn towards Death (manipulation of death magic). They would likely have an affinity for ethereal undead, which has a close tie with shadow (Malerion's home and power source). Functionally, this would expand Death (much needed) and give them "living allies" that breaks up the Nagash unified dominance of the faction. Interestingly, a source seemingly in the know said I was really close. I bantered a bit with them but they ultimately said they couldn't say more but to check out the Mistweaver from Silver Tower more closely because there are hints there. Then I looked at the mist coming out of the staff (posted by another person), see below. This theory might have some legs. So, Death-aligned shadowkin coming to a store near you in the coming (6?) months (maybe?).

This sounds so plausible and compelling as a storyline that it's just got to be at least partly right! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 On the one hand, it'd be damn sweet. On the other, I don't like to hope for specific fluff things to happen, because they probably won't go the way I want them to. For example, the Space Puppies are still alive...
