Smoke is filling up the air again with this rumor engine. Take a look and make your guesses as to what it could be!
Some readers have commented this is the Primaris Infiltrator’s smoke grenade, but if you look closely the smoke trails don’t match up. Could this be the new, new lieutenant that was previewed?

Odd Armor Plating: GW’s Latest Rumor Engine
We’re back with another rumor engine and it’s left us scratching our heads. Our best guess is that it’s some kind of armor. Take a look.
This bit comes from the main character’s armor inside of the coming Blackstone Fortress expansion called “Escalation”.
With only one recent bit discovered and more unsolved rumor engines stacking up, we’re holding out for a preview and hopefully very soon. What rumor engines are you looking forward to being revealed? Do you think there’s more AoS support just around the bend?
