Rumor Engine Roundup: Latest Bits Debunked & Solved
Each rumor engine in the first list below has been fully solved and debunked (showing the entire model through a teaser, preview, or new release image).
March 21st, 2023
More Ogors on the Way: New GW Rumor Engine
Right away this hammer reminded us about Ogors, which is a clear fit, but it could technically also be for Sons of Behemat or even Orruks… Still, Ogors seem like the best guess right now!
Ogors was right on the money! This New Warcry warband solved a ton of bits too.
March 28th, 2023
Lizards & Teef: New Seraphon GW Rumor Engine
Immediately after looking at this, we thought of two factions in AoS, Orruks (the more Savage kind) and Seraphon! These two aren’t guaranteed, but they do seem the most likely currently.
Speaking of a ton of bits, the next solved bit is even from the same model in the warband!
April 11th, 2023
Hook In The Wind: New Realmlords GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this bit, it immediately stood out as Realmlords do to that cloud-like effect, but the hook tentacle is interesting and brings up other possibilities like Idoneth Deepkin too!
Idoneth was on the right track, as the “hook tentacle” clearly belongs to a squid!
June 14th, 2023
A Strange Alien Plant: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
While this is pretty hard to place, if it is indeed a plant, it could really be anything from a simple terrain piece, or as part of a new base on practically any model.
We thought it might be a plant, but turns out it’s this squid’s head!
June 20th, 2023
Destruction’s New Skull Club: Latest GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This one has a clear aura about it that screams Destruction in AoS. Most likely, being a new model for Orruks or Sons of Behemat.
Destruction bits are usually easy, and this engine proved to be as well.
July 4th, 2023
Games Workshop Strong Arm: New Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This engine bit is a little tricky because it could really be anything. It does look clearly like an Arm, but the thing sticking/pouring out is harder to ID…
While an arm is hard to place, seeing it now, that bit sticking out makes perfect sense on these Ogors.
July 18th, 2023
Mysterious Swamp Arch: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine we are clearly steered towards AoS and Underworlds, with tons of potential factions. Pretty much everything is on the table as possibilities!
Who would have thought that arc is on top of a mini?
August 8th, 2023
Death’s Worst Enemy: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
STAIRS!? Looking at this engine, we are semi-pushed toward Death and Destruction in AoS. That being said, there isn’t too many precise details that push towards anything in particular. It could even be something for Cathay in the Old World even!
Even crazier, the skeleton on the stairs is also on top of this new big miniature!
August 22nd, 2023
Rudolph’s Deadly Cousin: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realms of Age of Sigmar with either Destruction or even something like a swampy Sylvaneth model. We think it will most likely be a bit from a new Kruleboyz or Iron Jaws model wearing a trophy or riding a beast.
As the least surprising of the bits on this miniature, the horns are pretty obvious now!
25 New GW Releases Left For 2023 & Rumor Engines LATEST
November 16th, 2021
New Necrons Initializing: GW 40k Rumor Engine
Thanks 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!
September 13th, 2022
Sneaky Spider Slashers: New GW Rumor Engine
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 11th, 2022
A Child’s Toy: New GW Rumor Engine
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!)
November 1st, 2022
Smokestacks Don’t Belong Upside-Down: GW Rumor Engine
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 15th, 2022
Under Lock and Key: GW 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!
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.
March 14th, 2023
A Duo of Spears: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this new bit, we think Realmlords are definitely probable, but it still could be something else too! We are reasonably sure it’s for AoS and not 40k, though…
April 18th, 2023
Spooky Spirit Fingers: New Flesh Eater Courts GW Rumor Engine
This Engine bit is pretty wide open for possibilities, but we are leaning more towards Death in AoS, making Flesh Eaters more likely than the rest. This bit might also be upside down!
April 25th, 2023
Electricity Flows Through It: New Votann GW Rumor Engine
There is a clear similarity to Ad Mech thanks to the design of electricity-based weapons, but we think this has an excellent chance to be a future Votann release too!
May 2nd, 2023
A Patchwork Cape: New Skaven GW Rumor Engine
Now this engine was obviously a section of patchwork cloth, but placing it is harder! It can be anything death-related, whether that is Skeletons or even Death Guard! Perhaps even Skaven?
May 9th, 2023
A Scaled Tail: New Daemon Seraphon GW Rumor Engine
This rumor engine is very clearly an organic part of a creature, and the ridges (and lack of plates) make it look like Daemons or lizards rather than Tyranids…
May 16th, 2023
Spray & Pray: New GW Rumor Engine Assassin? Yes Please!
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
May 23rd, 2023
OOPS! Only Chaos: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Now this didn’t take much thinking! This is obviously a metal Chaos Star. That being said, this could be a curve ball with the star appearing as part of a non-chaos model’s base…
May 30th, 2023
Staffs, Spears, and Rods: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This rumor engine is actually a little hard to place; our best bet is Necromunda due to the huge amount of unique aspects in those models.
June 6th, 2023
A Quiver And Cape: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This rumor engine is dope, but a little hard to place; our best bet is something in AoS, possibly some mercenary or character.
June 27th, 2023
New Imperial Ammo Box: GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This rumor engine is pretty straightforward and easy to place. It is almost certainly going to be imperium, such as Astra MIlitarum, or perhaps even Necromunda.
July 11th, 2023
The Undead Have a Heart: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
This engine is pretty easy to place, with the only likely factions being death in AoS, heavily favoring Flesh Eater Courts, and old kits like Crypt Ghouls make it even more likely! Perhaps even something for Warhammer Underworlds or Warcry.
July 25th, 2023
Talk to The Foot: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine we are pushed towards AoS and Underworlds, with tons of potential factions. The scaley foot makes us believe it’s going to be Seraphon or Daemons.
August 1st, 2023
Genestealer Fists: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, we are pushed towards Genestealer cults or a monster-like mini in another faction. The large mutant-style hand is what does it for us.
August 15th, 2023
Death’s Best Weapon: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realms of Age of Sigmar with either Destruction or Death. We think it will most likely be a bit from a new Kruleboyz, Flesh Eater Courts, or another Death zombie-like model.
August 29th, 2023
Tattered Boney Wings:
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realms of Age of Sigmar, a very clear leaning on Death. We think it will most likely be Legions of Nagash, Ossiarch Bonereapers, or even Flesh Eater Courts!
September 5th, 2023
Warhammer: The Impaler
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realms of Age of Sigmar, with a very clear leaning toward Death. We think it will likely be Legions of Nagash, Ossiarch Bonereapers, or even Cursed City!
September 12th, 2023
You Call That a Knife?
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realm of 40k Imperium. We think it can likely be Imperial Agents, but it might even spread into other options, as this supposedly steel blade doesn’t give many hints!
September 26th, 2023
Is that a Cyclops?
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
Looking at this engine, it seems to be in the realm of AoS Death. We think it can likely be something for Soulblight Gravelords or Legions of Nagash, but it might even spread into other options, as bony creatures are more or less universal in Death!
September 26th, 2023
The Kroot Are Loose: New GW Rumor Engine
Check out the details of the latest GW Rumor Engine model on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
At first glance, this looks like a pretty straightforward chain/minigun. However, surprisingly the muzzle isn’t too far off to something even like Kroot!
