Sure we’ve seen new Sigvald and Slaanesh mortal models revealed, but turns out there might be even more hidden in plain sight!
Back during the Decadence and Decay Online Preview, we got a look at the new Sigvald and some of the new Slaanesh Mortals lineup. We covered him here if you haven’t seen it.
As it turns out a closer look at the teaser video reveals even more units- hidden in plain sight! Check out that video below as we go over all the details
Hidden In Plain Sight: New Slaanesh Models Incoming
First up the shot with the Symbaresh Twinsouls, shows some out of focus models behind them. These both look like two large beast-men/Slaangors. The left model also has the same black leather leg covering as the new Slakeslash in Direchasm, which we thought it was at first…
As it turns out there are confirmed Slaangors on the way, but in Warcry.
This comes from a recent Warhammer Community article. While they don’t really go too in-depth they do give out some lore tidbits on each of the included units. So we know that Slaangors are coming. It also sorts of matches up with the fuzzy models from the video still above.
The right model face matches up with the left model and the left face matches up with the right model in the video.
Back to the Decandance and Decay preview, In the shot of the Painbringers, we see a few more fuzzy models. One of which is the Shardspeaker of Slaanesh who was revealed on the 4th of December, and also apparently a Warcry Model.
Another is the Lord of Pain from the Shadow and Pain boxset.

This model was revealed officially on the 4th over on Warhammer Community. Which is pretty clearly the model on the right side of the image.
The Left side of the image is the Lord of Pain. This one is also pretty clear, we can see his shoulder plate, his leather boot, and that humungous mace. Some of our coverage of him can be found here.
However, right in the middle is something we haven’t seen, and looks completely brand new. The huge arms and roughly bull shaped heads might mean Slaanesh Minotaurs are on the way. They also seem to potentially be postitioned very close together and conveniently on one base.
This can mean a few things.
- A large Lord of War-style character with Minotaurs on his base? Maybe a minotaur chariot?
- A new Chaos war shrine-style model? I think it’s the latter, we can’t see the top, and it does look like they may be carrying something.
Either way, tons of Slaanesh in on the way for both Warcry, and by proxy Age of Sigmar! There’s a mix of models already out, brand new releases, coming very soon, and perhaps unannounced unknown models still. This release might be a slow burner, but new models are definitely coming over multiple systems and release waves.
Any way you slice it (pun intended) it’s a great time to be a Slaanesh AoS player!
What do you think about the Minotaur model, is that what it is? What do you think about these models hidden in plain sight?
