Red Corsairs

[fringe crystal]

I clicked the wrong flair for some reason.

[viral orchid]

love that old ass landraider in the back

[fringe crystal]

Yeah GW needs to update that kit lol

[frank parrot]

Definitely plastic Hornets then.

[astral marsh]

is that in the first book a chaos marine with sniper rifle?

[pastel sentinel]

I can never remember much about Huron's buddies, but it looks like his Apothecary is there?

[coarse cradle]

the not so potato version

yeah it's an apoc, rumour says it's gonna be a mix of various firstborn marine wearing mk7 from different chapters

so a chaos deathwatch

[astral marsh]

nop, looks more like a meltagun

[pastel sentinel]

That's one of the RC's gimmicks, yeah

A lot of hastily-defaced chapter symbols

[astral marsh]

so, the command squad is a apothecary bud, a evil librarian, a lord executioner, a melta guy and what will probably be a named cultist

[coarse cradle]

apparently it's a xeno of some sort

[pastel sentinel]

Sadly doesn't have his techno-buddy with the metal tentaflails

[fringe crystal]

neat

[pastel sentinel]

Okay I'm making a called shot, not because I have confidence in it, but because it would be very funny if I'm right: TARELLIAN DOG-SOLDIER

[coarse cradle]

that would be fun

[pastel sentinel]

I may have to buy this box

[vagrant valve]

found this one as well

[pastel sentinel]

I was going to say "it's heartening that elements of the Badab War are still getting prominence" and then I remembered "oh right, Salamanders"

[coarse cradle]

Mantis warriors

[hearty juniper]

That's a new Vyper in the back, right?

[hearty juniper]

Not as old as the chassis of that serpent

[viral orchid]

i wll say that it holds up way better than the landraider

the wave serpent is timeless

[coarse cradle]

yeah，looks like a closed-top venom

[pastel sentinel]

Well they don't have, say, unique models like these guys

Is what I meant

[hearty juniper]

Bad photo of course, but the armament sure looks like it's in the Hornet role but no way as good looking

Oh, it's actually a cabriolet

[wheat anvil]

Are those a Corsair swooping hawk?

[copper yoke]

back in ye olden days there was a jump pack corsair unit

[coarse cradle]

wait, this might actually be the case

[pastel sentinel]

It's not impossible

Maybe even not implausible

[craggy summit]

That may be the first chaos apothecary since fabius bile...

[pastel sentinel]

Fingers crossed

[craggy summit]

I wonder if they might introduce chaos apothecaries to other csm forces

[fringe crystal]

Could they be a generic command squad with other should options?

[hearty juniper]

In the badab war, the astral claws had a bunch of specialised apothecaries, the Corpse Takers. Maybe that's what this one is

[pastel sentinel]

Huron also needs a lot of upkeep

[copper yoke]

lets hope GW shows proper pictures sooner than later

is the sorcerer guy that weird space marine chapter

that one that put daemons inside of em

or am i confusing somethin?

okay no but the icon was similar

[pastel sentinel]

That's also close to the generic Librarius symbol so, maybe, maybe not

[copper yoke]

that was my other assumption but isnt it also like a normal ass skull instead of a goat?

maybe thats a evil ass librarian symbol that RC made up lol

[pastel sentinel]

Very possible

[vagrant valve]

more kitbash fodder for 30k apothecaries

[craggy summit]

hopefully the sorcerer isnt too chaotic, id love to convert them

[craggy summit]

ahriman has the same icon

[copper yoke]

Oh right he does, evil ass librarian symbol it is

[pastel sentinel]

Hmmmm

[neon shuttle]

Its kinda funny how exactly perfect that crew is for proxying as first claw lol

I dont know enough eldar stuff to know if anything in that box is new lol

[lime patio]

looks like there's some corsair versions of the swooping hawks and some sort of new vyper or hornet or something, along with Prince Yriel

[hearty juniper]

Considering that Yriel going into the maelstrom was one of the Christmas calendar stories, it seems likely that the other stories might be teasers, too

[keen wolf]

Yeah I'd say IV legion are on their way as well

[hearty juniper]

And/or new demon machines

[craggy summit]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/s/wiz6beL4At

Sort of hoping this isn't prophetic

[lime patio]

on the one hand, I could see GW pulling some stupid stunts.

on the other hand, there's no way... there's just no way...

[neon shuttle]

saw on dakka that the current rumor is "eye of terror" and "armageddon" are the books after maelstrom, but I don't know where their source is from

[copper yoke]

valrak backs it up

also the christmas thing talked about those things too so its basically confirmed

[vagrant valve]

• So Fist guy
• Wizard guy
• Chair dude
• and Axe man
  Cept for the dawg, we have the whole squad solved in glorious Mechanicum sanctioned 144p

[vague heart]

I think the Sorcerer is Garlon Souleater

The Master of Execution is Katar Garrix

The human on the platform is Sargotta the fleet captain

[ruby flint]

Part of me hopes the axe guy is Crassus, the UM Khornate champion

[vague heart]

The fist guy’s outline kind of looks like an Ironkin Steeljack. Maybe Armanneus Valthex had his head transplanted into an Ironkin body?

[pastel sentinel]

I was speculating rogue ironkin but that would also be great

We know anything about Sargotta?

[neon shuttle]

she's in at least one of huron's books

don't know anything beyond she's respected enough she can speak her mind around the marines

[pastel sentinel]

nothing groundbreaking but always enjoyable

[pastel sentinel]

Do we have guesses about the dog-looking silhouette?

[vagrant valve]

A bigger variation of Hurons dog?

[neon shuttle]

there's a species of xenos mercenaries that are four legged dog people with guns mounted under their chests.

[upper jetty]

Potential new Red Corsairs unit

[pastel sentinel]

I'm skeptical but interested

[upper jetty]

I only think its a new unit because it mentions the name of a unit and box art

[fringe crystal]

I mean the rumors have been spot on so it makes sense

[vagrant valve]

could just be a "raider", because corsairs i.e. pirates raid
However it could be the new "Hunter" unit, like their 3 man elite squad etc

[lime patio]

we can dream

Hopefully they can be taken by any chaos marine faction and aren't somehow limited to red corsairs if that's the case

[wheat anvil]

csm doesn't do chapters so they should be fine

[copper yoke]

for now.

[hearty juniper]

It might just be a name change for the regular troops because red Corsairs marines datasheet is called Raiders instead of Legionaries.

[keen kiln]

it does say to replicate the box art though

[upper jetty]

Yeah

I think it's a new unit of either elites or line troops

Garreon's base looks like it has a less chaosified marine on it

[pastel sentinel]

can't rule out the possibility that that's just what his entourage is called

[copper yoke]

theres a rumour of a "lords of the maelstrom" box, i assume thats the name of the command unit.

[hearty juniper]

Or one of those limited army boxes that include new units before they're available separately

[upper jetty]

Id bet on this tbh
