We’ve got a solid GW rumor engine that looks like a spear tip, so get your thinking caps ready and dive in!
Warhammer Community just unveiled one more rumor engine and this time it looks like a vicious spear tip. Check out the details of this bit that look to be on the way for 40k or AoS.
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.
A decent example is the new Lelith model, she has two serrated curved daggers that she is wielding. Hers aren’t quite as savage with all the extra spikes and ridges, but you can see the resemblance here. Dark Eldar/Aelves like to cause pain and that blade will certainly cause a lot of it both on entry and especially removal.
One thing to note is that this isn’t a guarantee, in AoS Chaos and Destruction could also easily use this weapon, while in 40k, other Xenos like Orks, or even chaos could as well.
Martial weapons are a little more common in AoS so this bit may slightly favor a potential Dark Aelves release.
Anyway, hopefully, we know sooner than later!
What do you think this is? Do you think it could be for a wave of new Dark Eldar/Aelf releases?
