GW just announced the next New Model Monday preview for tomorrow as we may get a look at everyone’s favorite Daemon Prince soon.
Warhammer Community just unveiled another model silhouette in preparation for the next New Model Mondays.
Looks like the first part of the week will be full of fun speculation with New Model Mondays and Rumor Engine Tuesdays back to back!
GW Announced New Model Mondays
Every Monday in March is New Model Monday, where we’re showing off an upcoming miniature that you’ll definitely want to get your claws into.
It very clearly resembles Be’lakor so with that in mind… This is the current model for him, then takedive into the new sculpt screencaps below!
A lot of this model’s features match up with the teaser below, from the hooks on his tabard and wings to his horns, and chest tattoo, which in turn makes it match up with the New Model Monday teaser.

While he has an AoS model on the base, it would make sense that they also just give a see of 40k miniature bits to use as well and boom, double release.
Or you can just put one of your own on there! Perhaps more important of note is the size of his foot, as from this angle it appears to be roughly Greater Deamon size and NOT Deamon Prince sized, which if true could be very curious indeed.
Subtle Design Changes
Something else new is his flaming sword, but if you see the artwork above, he has been drawn with a flaming sword before. You also have to look at the angle, instead of holding it over his head, he seems to be holding it at a downward angle (note terrain in the background for horizontal perspective).
This isn’t a huge change, but it will give the mini a very different feel, as it probably the new model’s pose will be a cross between the artwork and the old model above with a sword at the side, pointing to his next challenge.
The last big change on the mini itself is the Chaos symbol looks to be inset instead of bumped out. We think this is way cooler and gives the mini some cooler painting options. But all that is just about the mini, what could this teaser mean for the factions that can use him?
Either way, we will find out what the model looks like in its entirety tomorrow!
What do you think this is? Is there any chance it isn’t Be’lakor?
