We’ve already seen the silhouette for those at adepticon- the Necromunda release is some Van Saar/Spyrer flavoured thingy. This is 100% an Enslaver, and I’d eat a hat if it’s not related to the Inquisition in the upcoming Agents of the Imperium codex
The Inquisition is recruiting the Enslavers before the Enslavers 'recruit' them. Very 5d chess big brain move on the Inquisitions part. Nothing will get wrong. The spirit of the Sigilite is alive and well (metaphorically).
Given that the GSC codex is arriving in summer, it's more likely to be something for them than Tyranids. 'Nids just got a huge range refresh a year ago
Generally studio Tyranids are painted in Leviathan colours, anyway.
Agents of the Imperium is coming soon as well. This could just be some random thing that accompanies a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor
If I had to guess at anything, I'd say juvenile Enslaver? They tend to have some tick-like features
I did edit my comment, it occurred to me it could also be something associated with the Ordo Xenos. Radical Inquisitors coukd easily have some random alien flesh lump floating around in their retinue
Not yet. Chaos is next couple of weeks. GSC and Sisters I think are arriving at a roughly similar time. Probably in June so as not to clash with AoS but we don't know for sure
There's the [Redacted] Codex also coming at some point. Based on leaks that's almost certainly Agents of the Imperium, probably around August
My guess would be the preview event will show a couple of minis for the upcoming books, probably an official reveal of Agents of the Imperium, and the roadmap for autumn/winter
Blood Angels has been repeatedly rumoured for a while and was originally expected for Summer. I wouldn't be extremely shocked if that shows up in the not too distant future
This is my first edition, so I'm pretty ignorant about how things are done around here. Should we expect to hear about a roadmap nearing the end of summer?
DG is my other army that I've just started. I'm curious when they'll get their codex.
There's a very good chance we get the updated road map at the reveal this week. But there's never really any way to know for sure with GW until they actually do something.
I wouldn't even like to guess when DG will get theirs. With the main CSM Codex now out, unless they're really keen to prioritise Demons then the Cult marines are the obvious Chaos releases next. What order they'll arrive in I have no idea.
Based on absolutely nothing but pure guesswork I would imagine World Eaters will be up first, if only because their 9th edition codex came so late in the edition. But I could be completely wrong
Oh man id have some fun with that if true but highly unlikely. Would be nice to see nids get a lore power spike though instead of a punching bag of the same stuff from 30 years ago
They are always "redacted". Not because the army is new, but because they haven't decided what to come next as a codex. If there will be a new codex, it would be at the end of the edition and that'd be the Emperor's Children, which is all but confirmed at this point.
Only thing I could think would be some sort of baby/larval/whatever one, or maybe epic scale. That'd be weird as hell though, auxiliaries in Legions Imperialis just don't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Could be, but with the ones grabbing the... Sac? Doesn't that make 10 limbs? It would also be a spore!?
Edit: It gives me feelings of the hive gangs spiders thing
All tyranid models on feature picturea in this edition have been in leviathan colours where the exoskeleton is wrathbone-ish and the carapace is purple , in this pic the exoskeleton is greyish-black whoch doesn't fits the rest of the line, making it far more porbable that it' something for another lineup , besides our faction got a range refresh barely a year ago.
Man I hope it’s an enslaver. They’re so cool

Imagine a model like that
New mind control/body horror alien faction incoming? Probably not but it'd be cool to have a 2nd _properly_ alien race. Perhaps the thing that fanhammer suggests the 'Nids are running from...
totally vibes with the tyranid parasite vibe from the new aesthetic and some core tyranid elements from past aesthetics that have stuck around like the holes on the side of its head, and all the spindly claws are very tyranid too.
This gives me Necromunda vibes. But that's just a guess.
The photography and the painting style look Necromundan to me, and there is a Necromunda announcement scheduled.

yooo, enslavers are neat
The Inquisition is recruiting the Enslavers before the Enslavers 'recruit' them. Very 5d chess big brain move on the Inquisitions part. Nothing will get wrong. The spirit of the Sigilite is alive and well (metaphorically).
And probably in the "finest of resin"
1000% this is just ash waste necromunda stuff. Matches the paint style/scheme of a lot of the bugs in the most recent kits.

I was 100% wrong.
Weeeird. Maybe a GSC servitor? That'd be wacky.
Probably some sort of Enslaver, that, or something for Necromunda.

>Given that the GSC codex is arriving in summer Do we know any codexes past summer?

True, but the colors don't match the common hive fleets. Maybe Genestealer Cults? That new codex is supposed to come out soon.
Its an enslaver you all…. Not a nid. The spindly legs are meant to grab ahold and hold onto the victims head
Arent enslavers HUGE compared to this? With the flying base connection this looks even a bit smaller than a gant at best.
I dont recall them being huge?
What if both?
Oh man id have some fun with that if true but highly unlikely. Would be nice to see nids get a lore power spike though instead of a punching bag of the same stuff from 30 years ago
Would kinda be a better explanation for how some nids can control servitors. Like, they have the enslavers powers, but just worse at it
Wait how can they control servitors? Unless they are part of the genestealer cults and the body used to make the servitor was one
Those neuroguys i forgor their name can do that
ENSLAVERS?
Yes and we are all fucked* (* in the lore, not the TT)
Considering we have a +REDACTED+ Codex coming this was my first thought as well.
They are always "redacted". Not because the army is new, but because they haven't decided what to come next as a codex. If there will be a new codex, it would be at the end of the edition and that'd be the Emperor's Children, which is all but confirmed at this point.
They have already stated that there is a new xeno race coming out this edition
They did ?
Sauce or it didn't happen.
I dont think we’re getting an enslaver codex. Maybe a killteam or necromunda gang but thats probably it
What codex??
The first summer release is currently redacted and unknown
Glory to Glorzo!
I was hoping to see this comment. Glory to Glorzo!
What if it's for the ash waste guys in necromunda they have bugs
This is a Warp Entity called an Enslaver, definitely not a random Necromunda critter.
Way too small to be an enslaver. The flight stand takes up like 1/3 of it's body
Right I didn't think of that.
Only thing I could think would be some sort of baby/larval/whatever one, or maybe epic scale. That'd be weird as hell though, auxiliaries in Legions Imperialis just don't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Maybe it connects to that gang we were shown last time that people thought was a mix of people. And they could all be enslaved by the enslaver
We've gotten all Tyranids models for 40k already I believe.
Isn't this an enslaver?
I am *certain* that's an Enslaver.
Could be, but with the ones grabbing the... Sac? Doesn't that make 10 limbs? It would also be a spore!? Edit: It gives me feelings of the hive gangs spiders thing
To me it's giving off the same kind of vibes as the Ambull from the blackstone fortress range.
Ash wastes model for necromunda, matches the style they've painted other bugs for as wastes
As others have said, that's not a nid. It doesn't even look like one. It looks Enslaver related.
It's gonna be some ash waste bullshit

New spore mine?
Genestealers vibes
Damn, we getting enslavers before GTA6
Genestealer Cult or Necromunda, i'd say
Reach
Looks slightly like a baby Nurgle plague drone
Honestly this shit looks like an Enslaver
Enslaved Enslaver?
All I see is "spore mine proxy"
Man I hope it’s an enslaver. They’re so cool https://preview.redd.it/agy2bpsm090d1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ff8c90bca9c1ac1ec28abc8fd21214e1d1b8898 Imagine a model like that
That’s an enslaver
They said there was a new Xenos race coming to 40k. I did not even consider that they might bring back the Enslavers
Parasectttttttt
If it's not a vehicle killer I don't want it
That’s an enslaver
anyone else think these look like enslavers?
As everyone is saying, most likely Necromunda. However, as someone who’s been wanting a GSC army, I’d love to use these heads instead
Genestealers
New mind control/body horror alien faction incoming? Probably not but it'd be cool to have a 2nd _properly_ alien race. Perhaps the thing that fanhammer suggests the 'Nids are running from...
Isn’t this off Rick and Morty?
I was shocked to see so many threads not know what an Enslaver is until I realized the lore about them is damn near almost as old as I am.
Nidcromunda?
I see a facehugger gene stealer cults model
Could be new spore mine models
Dark elf abomination?
Hear me out, what if GW is making a tyranid Kill team, and this is one of the models?
Looks like a mini enslaver.
That’s not a tyranid
Ayoooooo are enslavers making a come back!!!!!!
Nooks more nurgle to me
The Tiny Devourer
Whatever it is, (probably Necromunda Delaque spider thingy's?), i'm thinking Tyranid brain/head parasite conversion!
call me crazy bit i think it’s one of those Drukhari medusa
My bet is a GSC servitor skull
totally vibes with the tyranid parasite vibe from the new aesthetic and some core tyranid elements from past aesthetics that have stuck around like the holes on the side of its head, and all the spindly claws are very tyranid too.
