Games Workshop brought back the Advent Engine for 2021 with a full calendar’s worth of preview teasers leading up to Christmas!
This is the second year in a row Games Workshop is doing the Advent Engine Calendar where they will be revealing one new rumor engine every day for 24 days. So if you love speculating on what’s coming next for Warhammer, this is the calendar for you!
On the first day of December Warhammer Community just unveiled a rumor engine and this time it’s a ponytail, but whose is it? Check out the details of this new bit that looks to be on the way for Warhammer.
Hair Blowing in the Wind: Advent Engine 2021
Well, first off, the border looks an awful lot like Wraithbone if you ask us. Since this is the first one, we’re not sure if it’s a nod to the faction or if this is just the border they are deciding on for all the engines. With that said, Eldar seems a very obvious choice for this one. However, that ponytail could also easily be for Tau.
While the hair is a little different, we’ve been hearing new Eldar rumors and even saw some artwork for Aeldari Rangers coming in a new Kill Team box. So while the hair is not an exact match, it would match up very well with the rumors we’ve seen so far!

While they don’t have their helmets off here, this is the artwork we’ve seen on a Kill Team box and you know GW doesn’t even like to make artwork for things they can’t make money off of!
The Tau Option
This one is too similar to both factions not to mention the poor Tau boys. We guessed a new Darkstrider is on the way and the hairstyle matches perfectly. So maybe when the codex drops they will grab a new Darkstrider as their new character model.
That’s our best guess for day one!
