Figuring out the latest GW rumor engine may get a bit rocky, as it seems like tactical rocks are becoming more of the norm for new releases!
Games Workshop just unveiled another rumor engine and this time it looks like some sort of gushing liquid over, well, spikey bits…
Check out the details of the latest model that looks to be on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Rocky Road: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this rumor engine, it’s hard to say with any certainty what this is for or even perhaps what system it may release as a part of.
One thing is for sure though with no bands of energy around the stones, it looks to be of a non-mystic nature for sure.
This Alarith Stonemage has bands of mystic energy (or water?) flowing downwards through the base, whereas the rumor engine does not.
One thing is pretty certain though, more and more new character models are releasing with terrain bits to help make the models look more dynamic.
Still that this one could really go either for either system, but it definitely seems more of the Imperial/ Order variety than not. We will just have to wait and see ultimately what faction and game it ends up being for.
