So happy to see a Fleshripper at last

The mystery Twilight Kin are neophytes:
Mantic describes them as follows:
Neophytes are supplicants – young elves who compete for the chance to gain power or a place among the void fleets. Lightly armed and armoured, they hurl themselves at their foes with wild abandon…

An update from Mantic:
The higlights are this picture with a soulbane(?) In the middle.
Also these design notes:
Origins was the first chance to present the new direction for the Twilight Kin. The new style is strongly tied to their relationship with the Nightstalkers, leaning into organic-looking armour, rather than archetypical serrated plates. Are we looking at metal or something living? Best left to the imagination perhaps! There’s also a theme of hidden eyes, or extra eyes, across both the Twilight Kin and Nightstalker sculpts that further builds that sense of strangeness. We kept coming back to the goal to make them cool and unsettling, without resorting to full-on horror.
You can see a clear hierarchy in the range, reflecting how much time they’ve spent in the void, and the darkness of their deeds. Neophytes are the lowest of the low (looking almost classically elven), although they are rarely seen on the battlefield. The towering Impaler and Soulbane are heavily layered in organic armour shapes. You start to question if it really is armour, or perhaps more like the outer shell of an insect. And then we have the Summoner Crone, who shows us what sacrifices the Twilight Kin will accept in the name of power…

There was a short story about the new nighstalkers in the Mantic Newsletter.
What’s relevant here is that there’s an elf Inquisition “to stamp out the threat of the fallen kin” and look for those “touched by the Void”.
La’theal Bleakheart is set up as an antagonist, bringing nightstalkers to Elvenholme.

Mantic has put a video out. It announces an October release, as “The time of the Voidwalkers draws near”.
Screenshots of new art:
Also two new models (Credit Boss_Salvage).
Looks like soulflayer mounts are how commanders get around; maybe some cavalry?
Flying monster looks like a gordrake from Armada.
Not sure about the boats, but the void mutated elf looks cool (more sensible armour/attire would be nice though). The mutalisk looking things in the background ring a bell, presumably a new flying unit? Maybe stretched out Void Lurkers?
Looks like butchers and reapers on the right of picture 4; so straight nightstalker units are likely.

I do wonder what those boats actually are going to be.
Most likely a flying unit but exactly what?
Maybe just a unit like the NA Raven Riders or maybe a single special unit like the EoD Monolith.
The later I can easily imagine, two of those boats flying around carrying a cage with a prisoner between them.
Inducing terror on their enemies and/or buffing nearby units with the fear induced by the prisoner.
Either way guess we will see soon enough.

Or the boats are just a nod the the TK Armada fleet and the short story mantic released about them and the AD, with crew in appropriate new style?

Another video with background info and better art of the ships
So I expect the ships to be similar as the Halflings airships

Oh snap, so Impalers seem to be Large Infantry by to looks of the base of that Soulbane.

And the Biggest Shields we’ve seen in quite a while 
Which would make a nice high Def anvil-hammer in a list of relatively low defense. Plus moving these to large infantry opens some room for the other Elf troops to have a little more identity / agency. I’m digging it.

Kyke also mentions that they’ll be large infantry sized.
I would not mind painting large infantry instead of infantry. 
Some concept art showing the designs for inpalers:

Some more art, from the Mantic news email.
Presumably related to the global campaign.
WHAT IS THAT THING THOUGH!?
There were some in earlier art too, apparently not just reapers then?
A shooting version possibly means a plastic dual kit. By the look of them it might just be upgrades for reapers though.
Some kind of void spawn perhaps? This army is looking more dark and twisted than I was expecting.

There’s a new video.
VOID SKIFFS!
New chariots that float, through the void and just above the ground.
With some talk of a shooting upgrade that does broadsides.
I like that it’s a cool new idea, but that leaves room for old models.
Also concept art:
Plus a render:
At the end of the video Kyle says the next video is on core infantry: the corsairs and void touched.
I would guess that the corairs are something between salamander corsairs and gladestalkers.
Void touched sound like a possible answer to this question:

As standalone models they look fun - how they fit with everything else might be a bit weird?
Shooting chariots (which usually have less ranged attacks than in melee) should have option for flank shots - it was sort of the reason they were used IRL?

Makes me wonder if it’s going to be a dual box like the butchers and reapers? Also curious if the neophytes will be featured?
Regardless, I’m hyped for the release and have purposely captured the hobby butterfly in a jar in preparation for October.

The LGT event will be the first time to see/get hands on the the TK stuff from what i gather.
I like a lot of what’s been previewed, but i do like finding alternative stuff that works. Depending on what actually is in the army list could see getting some alongside my NS.

It does look like Mantic is making a point of getting the most out of plastic kits by making them dual kits.
