| So, I'm guessing our six-armed creature is the marilith, which was only seen in the Previews from September and Beyond so far.
For our mystery guest for preview 11, I'm going to go with it being a lillend. Mainly because it doesn't look like it has legs - that object in hand looks more like a scimitar than a harp to me.

| | You apparently beat me by a matter of seconds. We both had the same guess, too... So, how do I close mine? | |

Take a look at what's at the MM illustration's waist. | |

| | Maybe one hand with cimitar and the other one with the Harp near to it chest, so you can´t see it. | |

| I don't think it's a Lillend. The sculpts usually don't stray too far off the published artwork. We'd be able to see the spiky hair and a snake-like tail. If a creature has a tail like the Lillend does I would think that they would have it curving around the base for stability reasons - it wouldn't be hidden by the wings so easily.
Of course I could be totally wrong, and seeing as I have no better suggestions at this time, I'm willing to allow for the definate possibility that it's a Lillend. | |

| | If it is a Lillend, my Blood War called shot will be correct! I hope it is a Lillend, they are rather cool. | |

| It's an Aspect of Bel!
Oh wait, I said that for the last preview.
I was thinking that maybe it's a Janni....but I don't know if there's a pic of a Janni in any of the books so I can't see if they have wings.

| Which MM is the Lillend in?
And the silhouette does look like it has a snake like body with the tail curled direcly under and behind it (kinda like the displacer serpent pose)
Excellent guess. | |
