Lelith Hesperax New Groove: GW Rumor Engine
Next up, we’ve got a model that once again, hasn’t had its full glory shown off just yet. However, we’ve got some daggers, which looks like red hair and bare feet...Is that Lelith?
Going off of our current Lelith model she’s wearing black armor with bare feet, has knives and hooks in her hair, and is using two one-handed daggers. Everything looks to be fitting the bill here.
Whew, that was a hefty amount of rumor engines taken off of the “unsolved” category. With a bunch of goodies on the way to Age of Sigmar and Warhammer Underworlds, we should also be looking at the theme of the bits that didn’t make the previews. It looks like there’s still quite a lot on the way for 40k as well!
