A new sword is here that could easily be for Warhammer the Old World in Games Workshop’s latest Warhammer Advent Rumor Engine.
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 20
Warhammer Community has unveiled another Advent Rumor Engine; this time, it is quite a generic rumor engine, but considering there is no iconography, we’re leaning more towards Old World or AoS. While we’ll hope for Old World, there is also a big chance this is for Stormcast.
Check out the details of this new bit that looks to be on the way for Warhammer.
A Sword For The Old World: GW Advent Engine
First off, it looks like some armored fist, and there is no real notion of nodes for a power sword. GW has already said the Empire will triumphantly return to Fantasy, and this looks like a perfect weapon for them! However, we won’t rule out Stormcast, as this looks very similar to an existing kit.
If you look at the sword in the Vigilor kit, this is very, very similar. It seems strange for them to rework the whole kit, but GW does love to add new units and rework them, so who knows? It could be a new unit, or the Vigilors could just be getting a rework.Â
Plenty of old characters could get a rework with a new sword too. We’re not sure how much of the actual infantry will get a rework, but characters seem an easy way for GW to go and revamp the line.
The Empire had a significant swathe of characters, and honestly, this sword could easily be for any of them. We might have said Great Swords, but they are a newer kit (well, for Fantasy that is), so we’re not sure if they would get a rework right away.
