I don't know if I love or hate Storm's look there and I'm having trouble figuring out why. And somebody take Jean and Emma clothes shopping. Especially Emma. She's supposed to be the fashionable one, and she's wearing glorified pasties and a diaper.
More importantly WHAT THE **** DID THEY DO TO DAKEN?!?!?! He looks like they pasted his hair and tattoo on the Hulk!
My guesses are:
IMMORTAL XMEN
Destiny, Sinister, Emma, Xavier, Magneto, Mystique
MARAUDERS
Kitty, Psylocke, Daken, Bobby (?), Somnus
XFORCE
Domino, Beast, Forge, Colossus
KNIGHTS OF X
Gambit, Betsy, Rachel, Rictor, Shatterstar
XMEN
Jean, Synch, Cyclops, Laura
LEGION OF X
Blindfold, Nightcrawler, Legion
WOLVERINE
Omega Red, Wolverine
NEW MUTANTS
Sunspot, Magik
XMEN RED
Deadpool, Juggernaut
No guesses for: Maddie, Cable, Hope, Storm, Doug's Wife

Kwannon's front and center and Betsy is all the way in the back in a blink and miss her moment.
Sending positive vibes to everyone that their favorite character isn't apart of a book by Tini Howard

Immortal X-Men, X-Men Red, and Knights of X are the only really new info here. As many have noted, KoX (lol) is probably the Excalibur follow up, really hoping it's not written by Howard.
Glad that Iceman will be doing something, I like Storm's hair but I'm not sold on the costume, Deadpool can leave.
Storm has Red X on her costume so she probably leads X-Men Red on Red Mars planet as Sword relaunch.
So considering those are not going to be all the members of these teams, i assume those in the image are meant to be the central characters of these titles (and those they try to push).
Which makes me worried for Somnus. Getting a push after only appearing twice (counting the upcomming Marauders special) is often a recipe for disaster when it comes to fresh characters. I know he will be under the care of his creator, but the critical moment is when he is handed off to others and if other writers don't care or aren't pressured by fan demand to continue using the character in the same capacity they slip into obscurity.
What makes this worse is that most readers/fans/viewers don't like getting news characters pushed overt on them. As Wrestling has so often shown, it easily leads to rejection and not even giving characters a chance.
