[Archive] New FW Sneak Peek

Coopervisor:

ForgeWorld have just posted a new sneak peek for Gamesday on their Facebook page.

Could it be Chaos Dwarf related? Wonder what it could be?!

Games Day UK T-Minus 17 Days:

We’re returning to to miniatures today, with something you’ll be able to talk to Warhammer Forge designer and former 'Eavy Metal painter Keith Robertson about at Games Day - as always, keep an eye on http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Events/Games_Day_UK_2011.html for more details, and send an e-mail to join-forgeworld@lyris.games-workshop.com to sign up to our newsletters

Nebuchandnezzar:

It may be a new FW nurgle deamon prince or something along those lines…

Ugly Green Trog:

It may be a new FW nurgle deamon prince or something along those lines...

Nebuchandnezzar
It doesn't scream nurgle to me, or even WoC or Daemon at all, Not sure if it looks CD either though.

cornixt:

The arrow is a bit of a mystery, it’s almost dwarven. Ignoring the arrow I would have guessed that it was the Taurus, with crackled skin.

Coopervisor:

Well the note with it mentions designer Keith Robertson, who looking at the website has done the dreadquake and chaos giant. His page on the FW website mentions he’s just finished a “unique” chaos creature.

They sure know how to tease :stuck_out_tongue:

Nicodemus:

Taurus. While the arrow doesn’t necessarily seem related to Chaos Dwarfs, the arrow or runes/glyphs that are arrow-like are common in a lot of fantasy dwarf depictions. A very similar arrow is on the DQM slave ogre’s wrist shackle. Although that may be related to the fact that it’s the same sculptor I still think it’s unlikely to be an entirely different thing unrelated to Chaos Dwarfs.

Borador:

Vesica piscis? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: when you dont look that closely it could resemble that IMHO.

Maybe it’s the taurus, maybe not. We’ll have to wait and see.

Nicodemus:

Vesica piscis? ;P when you dont look that closely it could resemble that IMHO.

Borador
Vesica piscis? Really? I get that you mean that a little tongue-in-cheek, but really, vesica piscis is about as close to the picture as saying it looks like a cheese sandwich, when you don't look that closely. Or did you mean something else?

Ghrask Dragh:

Looks a little Albion to me

Nice teaser, would love it to be a Taurus

rabotak:

something about it screams like taurus, but i cant see which part of it and the arrow is in interestingly very simple executed… i wonder if its the part of the main body where the wings are supposed to be attached, and the arrow the indicator in which direction…

Pyro Stick:

My first thought what that it was going to be a Kdai but after seeing other guesses im not so sure now. Anyway, im not going to be interested if its not a chaos dwarf model.

Coopervisor:

I’m going to put my vote in for a Kdai/K’daai thingy.

Borador:

Nicodemus
No, it's not like a real vesica piscis, but it could resemble what a vesica piscis normally resembles in christian religiius things, if you know what I mean. If it was not an arrow, but just a line, hell I'd say it was something slaanesh.

And now that you say it, yeah I can imagine it being a cheese sandwich, thiugh quite abstract.

Let's just hope it's something chaos dwarfy ;P

rabotak:

well, if it was the taurus its online now. …55£ without rider, beautiful model!

Borador:

Ah you beat me to it. Bale Taurus indeed, looks stunning.

Vogon:

There’s nowhere on any of the images of the Bale Taurus or that new skaven thing that resembles the cracked surface in the sneak peak image, or the arrow.  The mystery deepens :slight_smile:

cheers

Horns and tusks, could it be a chaos dwarf who has fallen foul of the priests of Hashut and been shaved and bound to be a sacrifice?
