Behind the Shadows:

The background appears to reveal a turret similar to the Taurox with viewports around a central hatch.

So it’s looking like Genestealer cult will be getting a new “limo” model from the animated video teaser and perhaps access to the mighty Leman Russ as well!

And for you sleuths out there- I removed the shadows looking for new model clues to reveal what looks to be new art in the background. However the model with the rotary saw has been opaqued out of the image behind it’s shadow. Sorry folks, GW’s hivemind has adapted to my sleuthing…

The Insidious Curse.

Crawling out from the cold, dank corners of the Imperial underworld come the Genestealer Cults. Secretive, stealthy, and utterly malignant, they are the cankers growing unseen in the hidden spaces of Humanity’s realm.

It’s Coming!

Old Favorites Returning?

Possible New Vehicle?

The End.

Overall this teaser looks great. I imagine that from the images of armored soldiers and vehicle that we will in fact see cult soldiered models,  just like we saw a drop pod in the Deathwatch teaser video that was indeed later released as well.

Will we see Genestealer cults (and perhaps more importantly new soldier models) coming next week? Only time and the four armed Emperor will tell….

The final hour approaches!

All we have to go by is a gargled transmission but it looks like Tyranids are coming! What do you guys think?

First Deathwatch and now… Genestealer cults???
