New Tyranids or Nurgle models may be on the horizon in the latest 40k GW rumor engine that looks like the start of something buggy!
Games Workshop just unveiled another new rumor engine and this time it looks like some extra love to some old factions! Check out the details of the latest model that looks to be on the way for 40k or AoS from Warhammer Community.
New Tyranids or Nurgle: GW Rumor Engine
This new bit is clearly some Insectoid/Exoskeleton thing, but what faction does it match? There are only really two options, Maggotkin, because we know their update is coming and they do use a few flies and such. Second Tyranids, do need some model releases, whether that be updates or new ones and they have exoskeletons on pretty much all of their models.
While Tyranids do look like a possibility, they are much more alien than insectoid, which somewhat makes us lean more towards Maggotkin or even a one-off Warband model for a specialist game.
That being said, it could definitely still be Tyranids, with so many out-of-date models, a slight design tweak and updated look could go miles for the Xenos faction as they could definitely use the love.
We’ll just have to wait and see what the future holds!
