GW revealed just revealed Glutos Orscollion, Lord of Gluttony for the Hedonites of Slaanesh model that was hidden in plain sight!
It’s time for another online GW Preview for all things Warhammer! Here are the latest reveals from the special New Years Day preview on Warhammer Community!
First, let’s go over some models that were previously hidden in plain sight.
Hidden In Plain Sight: New Slaanesh Models Incoming
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 and his new friends 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!
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…
This comes from a Warhammer Community article a few weeks ago. 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. Check out all our coverage of that box, and the Lord of Pain 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 positioned 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.
Hidden In Plain Sight: Two More Slaanesh Model Sightings
On Christmas day, GW put out a special preview that we covered here in case you missed it. One of the reveals was the confirmation of the Slaanesh AoS Battletome. We get a very clear view of the cover, which seems to have some models hidden in plain sight! Can you spot them?
What we originally spotted in the Sigvald Video seems to be on the cover! While those are almost certainly daemons and not minotaurs it does look to be a war shrine or dais-like model. While we know nothing about it we can see the size of it. Also, an important note is what’s on top and in the tent. There’s a large character seated, (most likely the leader) and what seems to be two or three other characters (perhaps attendants?).
Is that dais the model that was out of focus in this shot:
Longhorns? Check! Hulking Brutes? Mostly check. But that is about all we can see from this image, unfortunately.
Seeing how prominent it is on the cover, and with Sigvald nowhere to be found (on the cover), it might just be a very important character for the newly updated army. However, this model isn’t the only possible new find…
Zooming in even further we can see two interesting figures. While this is much rockier, there are two unique figures in the furthest reach of the background image. These two hulking beasts/daemons might just be the new warcry Slaangors, but the main thing making that less likely is the lack of color/armor on these two. They also look massive. They are pretty far back and are still huge, so they actually might be minotaurs!
They could also just be there purely for creative reasons and may not be a model at all…
GW Reveals New Glutos Orscollion, Lord of Gluttony For AoS
Guided by the daemon Loth’shar, Glutos Orscollion seeks to sample the most exotic tastes in all the Mortal Realms – irrespective of how unseemly the source.
There it is! Well, we definitely were right about this model. It is clearly a Slaanesh chariot. It does however look much shorter than in the artwork and even in the blurry video shot.
All things considered, it is definitely extravagant.
Looking at the side view, we can clearly see the statue from day 4 of the advent rumor engines. It’s hard to nail down an exact size without seeing any models next to it. It looks most likely to be on a chariot base, or perhaps if it is very large a 40k knight base.
The Lord of Gluttony is a gifted sorcerer, whose loathsome magics can unmake any who would seek to deny him his bounty of flesh to devour. Riding atop an opulent palanquin borne aloft by a pack of grotesque mutants, Glutos is surrounded by a devoted court of servants who cater to his every decadent whim.
When peaking at the characters that surround the model, we can see multiple distinct ones. The first is a heavily armored character who appears to be very similar to the Painbringers. The second model looks like nothing more than the person in charge of directing the chariot. the final character looks to be very ritualistic. Almost having a cauldron of blood vibe, she may hint at more Slaanesh troops on the way.
Do you think there are still more Slaanesh models to be announced? Do you like this slow reveal style GW is taking?
