Rumor Engine Roundup: Latest Bits Debunked & Solved

solved-rumor-enginesEach of these rumor engines would have been fully solved and debunked (showing the full model through a teaser or new release image).

October 26th, 2021

New Imperial Big Guns Never Tire: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 10-26-21

This new weapon packed with rockets is actually another easy-to-place engine. There’s only a small handful or likely factions… The first and most likely is Imperial Guard / GSC as we had been hearing rumors of a new Imperial Guard tank coming soon that was scaled in between a Leman Russ and a Baneblade.

These are both popular factions so getting new toys is pretty standard for them (even though it doesn’t seem like they do). Second, there are Space Marines, because if this is a vehicle, it could just be wider imperium easy-peasy.

Missed the guard/GSC prediction, but we still got it with our backup choice of Space Marines! That really is a huge gun…

Welcome To The Jungle: New Catachan GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 06-14-22

This rumor engine doesn’t really scream any faction or another, but there are two factions that might be more likely to have these sorts of plants on them. These are notably Seraphon and Catachan.

With Imperial guard just getting a few new models revealed, that doesn’t seem too far off, either! However, it could always be terrain or something as well.

With a deep jungle vibe, Seraphon was easy to spot as a potential fit, and we were right!

Chaos Chains That Bind: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 07-05-22

This set of binds in the newest rumor engine looks interesting! Right away we know it won’t be any “nicer” factions given the spikey bits (haha get it). So we think it has a strong possibility of being part of a new Necromunda gang or possibly even something for chaos in another specialist game.

We might have been a bit off on this one, but the models are unique and look intimidating even as a “good” faction. Technically Arbites were models previously for Necromunda, though; just saying…

August 23rd, 2022

Sea Vegetation in New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 08-23-22

After looking at this new rumor engine, there are many possibilities… There is simply nothing very exclusive about plants. It could easily be 40k of Aos and even Terrain or a Character. Our only guess is that the Vegetation does look slightly oceanic, making us lean toward a potential Idoneth Deepkin release.

No Deepkin in sight, but it was the other scaled faction! Seraphon got quite a few models, and these engines match up perfectly now that we see them!

September 20th, 2022

Feathers or Fins: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 09-20-22

This engine is a little tricky! Fins or feathers was our first guess, but even that’s hard! Statues, Robots, Idoneth, Seraphon, and even Hedonites of Slaanesh are all huge possibilities with this one… That being said, one of those ideas is significantly more outdated as a whole than the rest, which is why we hope this is going toward a new Seraphon model.

On another similar model, we actually got this one correct, with the feathers pointing more clearly to Seraphon.

September 27th, 2022

A Mace For Sigmar: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 09-27-22

At face value, nothing really sticks out on this one. What we can tell for sure is that it is a mace and is for AoS/specialist games in that universe. Our best guess for the faction is either Cities of Sigmar or Vampires

We got the Vampire part right, but these definitely look different from most of the vampires we’ve seen so far!

October 18th, 2022

Birds of a Feather, Fish of a Fin: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 10-18-2022

This one is interesting as it matches the same design of a rumor engine a few weeks back! So naturally, we’ll take the same guess here. This is most likely Seraphon or Idoneth Deepkin due to the similar Feather/Fin design.

This one was obviously similar to previous engines, so we didn’t let the Seraphon sneak by, as we also thought they were the other bits!

January 17th, 2023

A New Propaganda Device: Games Workshop Rumor Engine

This is a more unique engine bit that really narrows down the possibilities, but the lack of any faction markings still leaves it relatively open. We think it’s most likely going to be Necromunda or 40k.

We got the era and theme right, but unfortunately could not guess the faction. Still, these new unique models are sweet!

January 24th, 2023

A Precursor To Chainfists: New Games Workshop Rumor Engine

When we first looked at this engine bit, two ideas came up. Chaos and Grand Alliance Death, but as we thought more, we landed on Soulblight Gravelords, probably being the home for this in the future.

As the biggest miss we had in this batch, we weren’t even close! These beast-like gauntlets are for some new Khorne minis parading around like a wild Fleshhound!

Now, let’s check out the still unsolved ones!

28 New GW Releases Left For 2023 & Rumor Engines LATEST

November 16th, 2021

New Necrons Initializing: GW 40k Rumor Engine

rumor engine 11-16-21Thanks to the very unique cube effect, this bit is very easy to place. It is almost certainly a Necron bit, either for 40k or maybe Kill Team. There’s also a slight chance it could be some repurposed gear that an inquisition agent got a hold of, but that’s always the case with Xenos gear bits!

April 12th, 2022

Lookout Duty: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 04-12-22Right out of the gate, the Armor style looks much more in line with AoS themes, meaning it’s probably for Age of Sigmar or a specialist game in the setting. Additionally, the Armor looks a little similar to Sigvald, meaning there may be a new armored model incoming!

May 10th, 2022

Lizards & Evil Robots: Another New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 05-10-22

This spear looks sweet, and there’s no questioning that it’s definitely for poking enemies. However, in an interesting twist, the two factions that come to mind couldn’t be further apart! The blade looks strangely Necron, while everything else looks mostly Seraphon…

So whose is it anyway?

May 24th, 2022

Book of Grudges-Thrower: Another New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 05-24-22Right out of the gates, GW introduced the new Engine by saying this:

Like all Votann, the Rumour Engine is stuffed full of secrets lost within its wizened digital architecture, with no way of knowing when they might surface… or why. Here’s yet another blessing from the Ancestor Core.

Which makes a guess for the bit much easier; it might just be another new Votann model!

Just like that shiny new Exo-Armor for the Squats that was recently revealed.

June 7th, 2022

Slaanesh Slashes Into Frame With a New GW Rumor Engine

rumoe engine 06-07-22

For first impressions, this new curved sword creams AoS and looks like two potential factions in particular. One is Mortal Slaanesh units with its leather gloves and curved sword, and the other is maybe a revamped Black Ark Corsair for the rumored Dark Aelves’ re-appearance with Malekith/Maleron.

June 21st, 2022

Poison Ork Gas: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 06-21-22While this engine doesn’t scream anyone one faction or another, something about it looks like Orks. Of course, it could be a plethora of factions and races in both AoS and 40k…

June 28th, 2022

Malerion Rises With The Dark Elves: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 06-28-22

This new big arm could belong to a variety of factions. We want to be optimistic about a sweet new Malerion model which has been rumored on and off since the introduction of AoS, but really this could be nearly anything. The only thing that’s clear is it’s a bigger model and probably isn’t so nice.

July 19th, 2022

Strike a Pose: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 07-19-2022

This new bit looks strange at first, but if you think about perspective and aspect ratio, the mace may be further behind the hand, so it’s actually bigger than it looks! Perhaps a pose akin to the Obi-Wan battle pose?

July 19th, 2022

A Not So Chaos Polearm: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 07-26-22

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.

August 2nd, 2022

Skeletons Adorn Flames & Fur: Rumor Engine

Rumor Engine 08-02-2022

When you first look at this, it almost looks like a skely on the back of some kind of beast, but if you flip the picture, it starts to look a lot like flames.

August 9th, 2022

Seraphon Power Up in New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 08-09-22

Immediately after looking at this new rumor engine, there seem only to be two possibilities… Necrons and Seraphon, but given the nature of the markings on the ring, we are definitely leaning way more towards this being something for our favorite Lizardmen.

September 6th, 2022

Cherry Blossoms & Poxes: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 09-06-2022This Rumor engine scratches our brainstorming and theory-crafting itch! While it doesn’t like a potential tree with poxes for something Nurgle, Warhammer Total War 2 recently got a resurgence thanks to Immortal Empires breathing life back into the game…

That’s Important because the high-Asia-inspired Cathay is a major faction there!

September 13th, 2022

Sneaky Spider Slashers: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 09-13-2022

This is clearly a spider’s head! That means a clear likely release for either one of two AoS factions. Gloomspite Gits and their spider riders or Chaos and their Spider Cult that was spotlighted in Warcry as a Warband. That being said, we really hope it’s Gitz, as they need the help and probably even a rework soon!

October 4th, 2022

A Destruction Elder: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 10-04-2022

Looking at this, a few things are almost certain. This is most likely in AoS and is for Destruction or maybe Soulblight Gravelords. Gravelords have more “old-age” looking models, so the cane is probably more on the theme for them.

The only real 40k possibility is probably Kroot, but it’s very unlikely.

October 11th, 2022

A Child’s Toy: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 10-11-2022

Looking at this one, well, it could be a lot of things, so we are kinda stumped! It could be something like Adeptus Mechanicus, Dark Mechanicus, or even Necrons, but it’s just not clear. Nothing currently released really looks like it. (It does, however, look similar to the shape game kids play!)

October 25th, 2022

Wolverine Is Jealous of these New Claws: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 10-25-2022This one is pretty easy to place in Chaos or Tyranids, but that being said, the metal claws make it much more likely for chaos! (It’s possible to be in AoS, but more likely for 40k)

November 1st, 2022

Smokestacks Don’t Belong Upside-Down: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 11-01-22

This is a hard engine to place because it can practically be any faction in 40k (besides a few outliers). That being said, one faction is more known for big diesel-like trucks, and that’s Orks!

November 8th, 2022

A Big Gun & a Big Holster: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 11-08-22This go-around is very clear. A gun in a holster! The speculation comes in regarding the size and faction. We guess that it’s a large gun based on the small handle, either a large pistol or shotgun, and the style of the holster might suggest it’s meant for a large model to hold with one hand…

November 15th, 2022

Under Lock and Key: GW Rumor Engine

11-15-2022 rumor engine

This new rumor engine is very clearly a lock on a circular piece of metal, but that doesn’t make it easy to place! It could be terrains like a man-hole-style hatch or even part of a new vehicle. Who knows!

November 22nd, 2022

Eight Pointed Chaos Stones: GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 11-22-22

This new rumor engine might be hard to place what it is, but there’s no questioning who it’s for at all! This is Chaos all day with that giant 8-pointed star on it! Game system and model guesses are a little tougher though for sure.

November 29th, 2022

Prepare For Take-Off: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 11-29-22

This mini-rocket engine looks pretty similar to a recent faction release in 40k… and that faction is Votann! But, really, this could be for the Imperium, too, as there are rumors of a new Primais Jet Pack!

December 6th, 2022

Chaos Claims Another Skull: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 12-06-22

This new engine bit is clearly Chaos, but whether it’s Warhammer 40k or a specialist game is harder to guess… Bionic eyes are kinda rare, though, so GW might be meme-ing a bit here with the recent uncertainty of Yarrick.

December 13th, 2022

A Hatchet For Christmas: New GW Rumor Engine

This new engine bit is clear as day. A sheathed hatchet! But placing it is a bit harder. While we are leaning towards Order in AoS, it could really be anything, even in 40k!

December 20th, 2022

All I Want For Christmas Is a Lasgun: New GW Rumor Engine

12-20-22 rumor engine

This rumor engine is clearly a futuristic gun, making it *almost* guaranteed to be in 40k, but it could also be a specialist release! A new double-barrel Lasgun would be pretty cool, but other guns are possible, like even Leagues of Votann!

December 27th, 2022

Necrons Strike Back: New GW Rumor Engine

rumor engine 12-27-22This new bit has quite a few possibilities, but the main options seem to lean towards Necrons or Orks,  Chaos, and even Necromunda!

January 3rd, 2023

Humans Strike Again: New GW Rumor Engine

This hand ready to strike could be a few different factions, but really three main possibilities come to mind; Imperium, Necrons, and Necromunda…

January 10th, 2023

Smoke & Mirrors: New GW Rumor Engine

Right when we saw this engine, two possibilities came up first. Some kind of trader in Necromunda and Hedonites of Slaanesh in AoS.

January 31st, 2023

Lizard Bonkin’ Stick: New GW Rumor Engine

This engine bit immediately looked like Seraphon to us, with their tribal blunt weapon style. That being said, they also just had some model reveals, so if this is true we might not see the new model for a while…

That is it for this one; what new previews do you think we’ll see next?
