This Week’s Rumor Engine: We Tyraneed Your Opinion

We aren’t exactly certain this is a Tyranid but it looks too similar to something like Mawloc scales to not jump to that guess first. If it is the bit of a Tyranid, do you think this is a new unit or just an old unit getting a new model?

Let’s say that it isn’t part of a Tyranid for argument’s sake. What else could it be?  It looks like the bit may be showing flared out frills from a dress or a robe. We may be looking at some kind of new Wizard model coming to AoS. The bit could even be a really fancy cloak on someone.

Things to note:

  • the bit is painted, and not a 3D printout which usually indicates a shorter time to market
  • light sourcing seems to be from the top down, so it may be the top plating of a creature, pointed up.

One thing is for sure, Games Workshop has gotten very clever about hiding past Rumor Engine bits in previews. They are getting harder and harder to find but our hobby maniacs are still out there sniping them left and right.

Who knows how long it will be before we see what this bit goes to but remember to always keep a lookout.

What do you think this bit could be for? Do you think it’s a Tyranid for 40k or maybe something for AoS after all? let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
