An Imperial Guard banner that looks a lot like the Death Korps of Krieg has appeared as another of the GW Advent Engine rumors for everything Warhammer is here.

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 in December, hopefully with a giant Christmas Day preview at the end.

Advent Engine Day 15

Warhammer Community has unveiled another Advent Rumor Engine; this time, it looks like it could be another one for the Imperial Guard! It could easily be for the Death Korps of Krieg (as we’ve already seen a bunch for them), or it could always be the Cadia banner coming back to the game!

Check out the details of this new bit that looks to be on the way for Warhammer.

Death Korps of Krieg Get a New Banner: GW Advent Engine

Well, we’re going to say this looks like a banner to us one way or the other, as these symbols look very Imperial! We’ve seen plenty of Death Korps of Krieg rumors and hints in the Advent Engine, so let’s start with the possibility of a banner for them.

While the current banner doesn’t have the little skull in the bottom left, the skull in the shield looks extremely similar. Plus, how would a new Krieg banner not have a little battle damage on it? This model above is still in resin, and we’ve said if they are redoing Krieg, they would have to redo the Command HQ Squad, and it would need a new banner bearer.

Or, who knows? Maybe Ursula Creed found her father’s Cadian banner, and it would obviously have severe battle damage on it after all Krell went through at the end. While it doesn’t really look similar, GW doesn’t like to let the idea of Cadia die either…
