GW’s latest rumor engine preview clearly includes a weapon made to bleed enemies and inflict pain, but what faction will it be for?
Whatever the case, we can’t wait to see what Games Workshop has in store when it’s finally revealed. Let’s check out what it could be and try to guess until then! Here’s the latest Rumor Engine from Games Workshop. As usual, there are some interesting possibilities for what it could be!
Looking at this bit, it is very clearly a bladed weapon with ridges clearly designed to cause bleeding, and even covered in it! Two super easy placements for this are Soulblight Gravelords and a new Khaine worshiper. Aelves/Eldar Khaine worshipers are ever so slightly more likely because at this time most Gravelords seem to prefer smooth-edge curved blades!
Look at almost any Khaine model and you can immediately see the comparison. The best example is the Endless spells from Daughters of Khaine, which are just covered in the same blood effect. Also, cutting your self to bleed is very cult/acolyte-like, Vampires usually like keeping their blood, making Khaine even clearer!
Still, though… who knows? Curve balls happen, and specialist games usually get some super unique models. We will have to wait and see!
