We’re getting a month full of spicy rumors from the return of the Advent Engine in 2023, and here’s what could be new Death Korps of Krieg!

Games Workshop has published the Advent Engine Calendar again for 2023, after a year’s break. Once again, they will reveal a new rumor engine every day for 24 days.

If you love speculating what’s coming next for Warhammer, this calendar is for you!

Advent Engine Continues With New Death Korps of Krieg!

On the second and third days of December, Warhammer Community unveiled rumor engines, and this time, it looks like they could both be for Krieg! However, the 4th day seems a little different! Check out the details of this new bit that looks to be on the way for Warhammer.

Day 4: A Smooth Coat

If you ask us, this has an AoS feel and, more specifically, looks a lot like something for the Soulblight Gravelords.

They have plenty of characters with fur coats, and GW regularly gives them new characters, so it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see another pop up sometime after Christmas!

Day 3: Krieg Making a Mine Field?

Well, the minefield part is pretty obvious, as the sign just straight-up says it! However, who would use it? Who are masters of trench warfare in 40k? It all points to Krieg!

On the official Facebook page, someone even said Sappers for Krieg, and GW answered, we like your style. This one seems more obvious than some previous rumors if you ask us.

We’ve heard rumors for a really long time for DKoK, and after their Kill Team came out, the rumors only intensified.

They currently have the Engineers but in resin. So, we could easily see them rework this kit into less of a mining group and more of actual sappers who put down minefields on the battlefield to protect your units of guard from advancing enemies!

Day 2: Krieg or Black Templars?

This one is a little more generic, as a decent amount of factions use the symbol. However, we think it would be mainly for two different factions, Black Templars and DKoK!

If it is for Black Templars, they already have insane banners with full skeletons, so it wouldn’t be too crazy to see another hero cross the Primaris Rubicon!

For the Krieg option, if they are getting reworked, you need a new command squad, and the banner looks like a good candidate for this, or maybe it’s just another marker to denote where your bombs are!
