Slaanesh Draws Close: New GW Rumor Engine

December 8th, 2020

There’s A Boot In My Shoot: Advent Calendar Day 8

There might be a boot in this shoot, but there are also boots all over Warhammer! Placing this rumor engine is nearly impossible. The only thing we can say for sure is that it probably isn’t for Orks! Their boots tend to be a bit more “used”. There appears to be a skull on the front, but it’s hard to make out for sure. It could both 40k and AoS and also could bealmostany faction.

Inquisitor Engine Reporting For Duty: Advent Calendar Day 13

This is very clearly something from the Inquisition, perhaps even an Inquisitor! The real question at the end of it all is who/what is holding the holster? Is it a new nameless Inquisitor or an old one getting a revamp? It’s impossible to say for sure!

Venting Frustrations: Advent Calendar Day 14

This engine is not as clear as the last, but it could potentially be the same model! The shoulder/back vents and backpack could easily be Inquisition, Sisters of Battle, or even Adeptus Mechanicus. They do seem to have a coat/cloak under the shoulder armor, so the potential is there to be the same model as yesterday and even earlier rumor engines.

Whatever it is, it came right off the 3d printer and was painted, as evident by the striations along the vents.

That looks Like New Tyranids: Rumor Engine

Well, we’ve already taken a guess at this one. It just looks too much like a Tyranid tail for us to think much further. Just the tantalizing idea of new Tyranid minis seems to be scrambling our brains. While it could always be something else, it just looks too alien for many other factions. They also mention it could be man-made by more advanced humans.

Carrion Vulture: New GW Rumor Engine

This is clearly a vulture bit, however, it’s unsure where to place it. There was another Vulture bit, back in September, so whenever either bit gets placed, it’s fair to assume the other will be in the same faction. However, until then, the only real guess is that this is more likely to be AoS. Whether it’s part of a terrain piece or maybe inside Cursed City is unknown. The only thing that’s fair to assume is that death will be close by.

Hooves of Darkness: New GW Rumor Engine

Well, this one doesn’t have quite as much mystery as some of the other rumor engines we’ve seen lately, but it does raise a few questions. Who will it be for and could it be part of a big release? Well, first we think it’s for the Slaves to Darkness Chaos Knights. Secondly, it looks like Be’lakor is coming soon so that only bodes well for the boys of Chaos in AoS to get a big release.

Pincers At The Ready: Tyranids GW Rumor Engine

This Pincer tail instantly jumps out as a Tyranid bit candidate. Technically speaking it could be some other insectoid thing in say AoS or on a base or something. But our money is on our favorite word eating swarm getting some love.So far each codex update for 9th edition 40k has gotten some model support alongside it, so hopefully, whenever it’s the ‘Nids turn, they won’t be different.

To Peirce And Tear: New GW Rumor Engine

This serrated edge could be to a spear, spike, dagger, and a few other things, but ultimately the craftsmanship and savage nature of it is what makes it stand out. This is most likely for a new Dark Eldar/Aelves release for either 40k or AoS respectively. This could technically be for Chaos in both games as well, but curved blades are much more common in the Dark Eldar/Aelves lineups.

March 30th, 2021

Net Neutrality: New GW Rumor Engine

This net is an interesting bit, and nets are a little rare in Warhammer, however, they do exist. Looking at this, we might immediately think AoS, who would be crazy enough to try to catch a chainsword wielding Space Marine, or even a futuristic Tau Mech?

In AoS this could be a lot of factions, Empire trappers, Chaos Torturers, Tribal Orrruks, and the list goes on. There is also a single 40k example that came to mind…

Candlelight Vigil: New GW Rumor Engine

This bit features and metal structure and some burning candles, which is immediately symbolic to one army in particular. Sisters of Battle, or Adepta Sororitas, are very well known for their excessive use of flames, whether that be candles, giant censures, or flamers. They really do take the idea of “Purifying Flames” quite literally.

While Sisters might be the easier answer, this could also very well be a bit for Age of Sigmar. It wouldn’t be too surprising to see a Nighthaunt or Cities of Sigmar model with this on its back like the old Bright Wizards in Fantasy.

Big Red Detonator: New GW Rumor Engine

This bit features a clawed hand holding some sort of detonator remote. Firstly, this bit is going to be in the SciFi setting, immediately knocking out the possibility of AoS. This is most likely coming to 40k, or perhaps a specialist game. Second, that hand is strikingly familiar to man Genestealer’s hands, along with the carapace-like armor on its arm. Lastly, the technology also resembles Guard, and in turn Genestealer Cult technology as well.

Activate The Shields: New GW Rumor Engine

This weekes engine bit is pretty straightforward, with some tech and a hand. Looking at the theme displayed there are three possibilities, Tau, Genestealers, and Inquisitors. Tau gets thrown out because most Tau has 3 fingers, this hand looks like it has 4.  It’s ultimately a tie between inquisitors and Genestealers because Genestealer tech usually isn’t this reformed and naturally more like guards simpler tech. Inquisitors have recently been re-acquiring alien tech to use for the emperor, so it’s a possibility of that here as well.

Malovence Rising New Chaos GW Rumor Engine

Right out of the gates, this is screaming Chaos bit. It has the eye in the center and even resembles the eightfold path. This is undoubtedly Chaos iconography. Whether or not it’s for AoS or 40k, is a completely different question, and honestly, it could be either. However, with Be’lakor still needing a home for his new rules to release, we are betting on this being part of a 40k release!

May 4th, 2021

Imperial Guard Booby Traps: GW Rumor Engine

After first taking a look at this bit, Astra Militarum immediately comes to mind as a possible home for the full model. With Imperial Guard still needing their 9th edition update, this looks like a perfect match. Not to mention Catachan has received a few rumors here and there in the community over the past year.

To us, this looks like tripwire and a mine, perfect for purging enemies of the Emperor by surprise!

May 11th, 2021

The Huntsmans Trophy: GW Rumor Engine

The rumor engine this week seems to be a newly acquired trophy resembling a lion’s head. This could be a White lion or perhaps even a young Manticore. Either way, it could be 40k or AoS, with only a slight edge to AoS thanks to the old White lion kits.

There’s A Cog In My Boot: GW Rumor Engine

The rumor engine this week seems to be a prosthetic leg for an unlucky fellow. Just by the nature of robotics and tech, it’s probably safe to assume this is for 40k, or even Necromunda. While there are some robots in AoS, it’s much less likely overall.

June 8th, 2021

A Vessel For Good: GW Rumor Engine

This bit is interesting, the candles and metalwork make it instantly look like Sisters of Battle. However, the Adepta Sororitas have thus far not been all in the idea of displaying corpses, at least with recent models. They do have skulls and even parade around the casket of Saint Catherine.

June 15th, 2021

Throne of Skulls: GW Rumor Engine

This one is honestly pretty vague because there are plenty of units holding human skulls in AoS. It must be a rough world out there, where the majority of your enemies just run around with your head after taking it off! Still, it looks to be a stone throne of some kind with a thin-ish hand. Meaning we can probably rule out some of the bigger factions. It has a very Flesh-eaters courts vibe though.

June 29th, 2021

Tools For Every Occasion: New GW Rumor Engine

At first glance, this looks like a utility belt with some wiring and even what looks like a wrench on the left edge and perhaps another set of tools on the right. However the Steel beam on the bottom throws a small wrench in that plan, why is it there?

Perhaps they are on top of some sort of rubble or building. It could also be something else entirely, maybe even just some electrical wiring on top of a building and it isn’t actually a utility belt.

July 6th, 2021

Screaming Eagles: New GW Rumor Engine

At first glance, this looks a lot like an eagle or Gryphon head, which was used quite a bit in the empire of the old world and now in the Cities of Sigmar.

The big question comes down to could this be 40k and what would it even be used on? It seems much more likely to be AoS, but it technically could be 40k. If anything its probably either on the backpack of a space marine or perhaps on a chariot/staff in AoS

July 13th, 2021

Dressed For The Gods: New GW Rumor Engine

While this is a little difficult to make out, it does have some Lizardmen/Seraphon vibes. Being either a headdress or even top of a throne/harness for riding an animal seems like they aren’t too far off of possibility. If that is true and just by looking at this, this does seem to pretty much be guaranteed for AoS at the very least.

However, we have all been surprised before and no rumor engine is a true freebie!

July 20th, 2021

New Vampire Hunter: GW Rumor Engine

Looking at this bit, it might be safe to say it’s more likely in Age of Sigmar instead of Warhammer 40k. There just isn’t anything that screams sci-fi on it. The spare blade and hammer head suggest some sort of adventurer perhaps even a Vampire hunter (not that we know they are a thing), rather than a soldier. Maybe a character of some sort?

July 27th, 2021

A New Imperium Vehicle: GW Rumor Engine

Looking at this rumor engine, it looks pretty easy to place. Most likely this is an Imperium vehicle, perhaps even Astra Militarum. The piping and hatches strongly suggest 40k, however technically Kharadron Overlord could also have this bit as a part of one of their airships.

August 3rd, 2021

Blood For The Blood God: New GW Rumor Engine

Looking at this rumor engine, it looks pretty easy to place, but it’s still super tricky because there is no clear indication if this is for Warhammer 40k, or Age of Sigmar.

August 10th, 2021

Rocky Road: New GW Rumor Engine

Looking at this rumor engine, it’s hard to say with any certainty what this is for or even perhaps what system it may release as a part of.

One thing is for sure though with no bands of energy around the stones, it looks to be of a non-mystic nature for sure.

August 17th, 2021

New Space Marine Scouts? New GW Rumor Engine

This engine really has two clear possibilities. First, it could be some melee weapon overhead, or second, it could be upsidedown and actually be a heavy weapon (like the pose below)!

Either of these could be for Aos or 40k, but that’s definitely a human hand.

August 24th, 2021

More New Orks On The Way? GW Rumor Engine

Right out of the gate, this clearly looks like an Ork chest with some neck/chest tribal garb. There are plenty of Snakebite Orks models that could still use an update. There are also potential Ork models in AoS that could use a refresh, such as the very outdated Savage Ork lineup.

August 31st, 2021

Burnin’ Rubber & Flingin’ Mud: GW Rumor Engine

At first glance, this is clearly a tire and suspension. The next question becomes “What faction is this for?”, but some factions clearly are more likely than others. The easiest answer is Genestealer Cult, as they already have a lineup of off-roading vehicles like the unit of Jackals. However, this could also be some new Space Marine vehicle and off course even Astra Militarum…

September 7th, 2021

New Chaos Hammer Time: GW Rumor Engine

At first glance, this seems to resemble a Sigmar/Stormcast hammer. However, the comet doesn’t look quite right and there’s definitely some chaos trim in there… Maybe this is a form of mockery?

September 14th, 2021
