A Not So Chaos Polearm: New GW Rumor Engine

Check out the details of the latest model that looks to be on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.

Last week there were hints about something new and chaos-themed for the rumor engine, but this is noticeably not so.

The time has almost come, the Rumour Engine is swirling with more energy than ever before, and we’re only a few moments away from whatever grand design it has in store. Before the Dark Powers usher us into a new and brighter future, we have just one more vision of a forthcoming release to prepare us for the greatness that awaits.

Isn’t it wonderful? The warp has this and more to share – so the Engine tells us – if only we embrace it. We don’t see any downside to this, so let us know what you think this week’s Rumour Engine image is on the Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages while we get everything ready for next week’s grand ascension. 

So, while they often write these like this, this is the first time they really mention any finality. They said this week will be the grand ascension and that only one more vision is left. To us, this feels like their way of telling us next week will be a big reveal and a change in how they reveal rumors.

But that looks to have not happened, and really any text mentioned in these posts is just hyperbole at this point, which is unfortunate.

Technically this could still be a ton of things, though. It doesn’t scream Chaos but it could still be, along with Skaven, Necromunda, or something else entirely.

A huge chunk of their roster could use polish/updates. With that in mind, the Stormvermin has extremely similar polearms to this week’s rumor engine, making it one of the most likely candidates!

We will just have to wait and see!
