Pretty sure something Soulblight is coming, or FeC.

I’d say it would be Idoneth, as the sword looks like a cutlass if anything, and the wristband features an Elven swirly symbol which would certainly look out of place on a Vampire.

Given that Idoneth alongside Seraphon and Cities of Sigmar are one of the few Order factions that don’t yet have an Underworlds warband, this makes the most sense.
 
The idoneth don't use cutlasses though, they use weapons inspired by tridents & serrated knifes for gutting fish.

Imho soulblight seems most likely, they like elegant weapons with fancy guards like this.

There’s always a first time, it certainly fits the maritime aesthetic.

No, the wristband has an Elven pattern and Vampires prefer swords with longer, broader guards at the sides and a simpler hilt. This one’s definitely a Vampire sword:

It’s much more Gothic, with dents due to being in a grave for a long time. The cutlass by comparison is far too clean and new to be an undead sword. Vampires also have claws like in this picture, so it’s either going to be a Soulblight Vampire or a Flesh Eater Ghoul character (who are also Vampires of a specific bloodline). In fact Flesh-Eater Ghouls more often simply use their claws to tear their enemy apart, so I’m pretty sure this will be a Soulblight Vampire.

What’s more Idoneth deserve an Underworlds warband more than Vampires do, so if Vampires are getting an Underworlds Warband, Idoneth should too if GW have any sense of justice. Vampires are only part of Legions of Nagash, and they already had the Sepulchral Guard, whereas Idoneth are a separate faction in their own right and haven’t had a warband at all yet.

I’ve just had a thought about that Ossiarch weapon that cropped up in a Rumour Engine a while ago - Ossiarch haven’t appeared in Underworlds yet, so I imagine they’ll be coming in this year’s season too.

That means four factions are pretty much confirmed (Idoneth, Seraphon, Ossiarch and Vampires), meaning the other four will probably be a mix of Chaos and Destruction, unless there’s going to be a third Order warband (possibly Lumineth) and/or a third Death warband (extremely unlikely given how few factions they have).

Off the top of my head Slaanesh and Savage Orcs haven’t yet had warbands (the Orc one this time around was a second Ironjawz one, which in my view shouldn’t have been done until they had brought in a Bonesplitterz one), so I imagine they’ll also be likely candidates for warbands this time round, and for the last two I would have a guess at Spiderfang Goblins and Khorne Daemons (the former because they’re the only part of Gloomspite that hasn’t been featured yet and the latter because both of the early-season Khorne warbands featured mortals apart from the Flesh Hound in the Blood Warrior warband).

That is true I guess :P

This vampire seems to have a very similar sword though :P

The soulblight vampires tend to have properly maintained swords. The one you linked is a FEC sword who indeed have less maintained swords.
Also, soulblight tends to wear clothes, the one you linked is a naked arm. Which is consistent with FEC as well. It fits in with this particular FEC character as well:

Naked arm, claws & a badly maintained old weapon.

On the other hand the cutlas is far too clean and fits better with soulblight.
 
One of the guys in my gaming group is thinking it's a new model for Sigvald.
 
As we now have proof of the GHB 2020 shipping, I’m wondering whether anyone has an idea how recent books are usually treated in the GHB?

I imagine the points values will be lifted directly from our tome and the first change we’ll see will be an errata. There just can’t have been any time between our release and finalising the 2020 points.

That said, some fundamental changes (terrain rules, magic, etc) could affect our lists?

Usually there's a small change in points, some FAQ's & maybe a rewrite of a stupid rule or two (e.g. our RSE placing)

However, we're currently in the fairly weird position that there've not been any real tournaments since the release of our tome. So they won't have any data to base things on. So I doubt much will have changed.
