Found here

Its short, but good. There's a couple concept art shots in there that I've never seen before, but they might be on a collector's edition or something. The piece titled "Monk" looks decidedly un-monklike, makes me wonder if it was connected to Sorrow's Furnace. The crab fort on the bottom is also an amazing piece of work... Possibly a predecessor to the walking turtles for factions, or maybe something for desert transportation in NF that didn't make it. The piece on Abaddon looks waaaay scarier than anything I saw in NF, even if its mainly just an issue of size/scale. As soon as I scanned through them I instantly thought "Maybe they let some concept art for Ch.4 slip through!"... but I highly doubt it

the crab things are found everywhere in luxons side of the land...its like a fort and you can even get inside of them. the only screen that makes sense for any chapter hint is the puppet, and that thing standing there next to the puppet, it is eathier a foe or minion puppet, btw that warrior, its not a human nor dwarf, more like a hooved 2 leged animal.
I have also been to the nf portal that takes you from nf to tyria instantly......its nothing more than a portal like the ones in tyrias desert.....o and a forgotten standing next to it....
another amazing picture is in nf artbook of a shape shifter, im sure the anet team is thinking of shape shifter proffesion, and they where going to put it in nf, but now they have it to the side I'm guessing.

Actually the puppets are Shiro's puppets, the Constructs in Guild Wars Factions.

It's a shame we only got to see the walker once (I think it was only once).
