Rumor Engine Roundup: Latest Bits Debunked & Solved
Each of these rumor engines has been fully solved and debunked (showing the entire model through a teaser, preview, or new release image).
May 10th, 2022
Lizards & Evil Robots: Another New GW Rumor Engine
This spear looks sweet, and there’s no questioning that it’s definitely for poking enemies. However, in an interesting twist, the two factions that come to mind couldn’t be further apart! The blade looks strangely Necron, while everything else looks mostly Seraphon…
So whose is it anyway?
Seraphon it is! And thankfully so, the more love the better for everyone’s favorite Lizardmen.

Malerion Rises With The Dark Elves: New GW Rumor Engine
This new big arm could belong to a variety of factions. We want to be optimistic about a sweet new Malerion model which has been rumored on and off since the introduction of AoS, but really this could be nearly anything. The only thing that’s clear is it’s a bigger model and probably isn’t so nice.
Alas, the dreams of Malerion get pushed further into the future still, but this dog-hybrid does look sweet.

Strike a Pose: New GW Rumor Engine
This new bit looks strange at first, but if you think about perspective and aspect ratio, the mace may be further behind the hand, so it’s actually bigger than it looks! Perhaps a pose akin to the Obi-Wan battle pose?
The mace was a weird grip position, but seeing it now it make sense being at the bottom of a spear.

A Not So Chaos Polearm: New GW Rumor Engine
Last week there were hints about something new and chaos-themed for the rumor engine, but this is noticeably not so.
The time has almost come, the Rumour Engine is swirling with more energy than ever before, and we’re only a few moments away from whatever grand design it has in store. Before the Dark Powers usher us into a new and brighter future, we have just one more vision of a forthcoming release to prepare us for the greatness that awaits.
Isn’t it wonderful? The warp has this and more to share – so the Engine tells us – if only we embrace it. We don’t see any downside to this, so let us know what you think this week’s Rumour Engine image is on the Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages while we get everything ready for next week’s grand ascension.
So, while they often write these like this, this is the first time they really mention any finality. They said this week will be the grand ascension and that only one more vision is left. To us, this feels like their way of telling us next week will be a big reveal and a change in how they reveal rumors.
This rather post-apocalyptic take on humans looks fantastic, and probably makes for some dope conversion options!
August 2nd, 2022
Skeletons Adorn Flames & Fur: Rumor Engine
When you first look at this, it almost looks like a skely on the back of some kind of beast, but if you flip the picture, it starts to look a lot like flames.
Flames would have been cool, but we definitely didn’t see a Flesh-Eater Courts Amalgam on the way!
October 4th, 2022
A Destruction Elder: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this, a few things are almost certain. This is most likely in AoS and is for Destruction or maybe Soulblight Gravelords. Gravelords have more “old-age” looking models, so the cane is probably more on the theme for them.
The only real 40k possibility is probably Kroot, but it’s very unlikely.
Soulblight Gravelords was really close, but turns out Flesh-Eaters are getting some well-deserved love!
February 14th, 2023
Axing The Emperor: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this rumor engine, two main possibilities came up due to the iconic power/lightning weapon: Sisters of Battle, and Adeptus Mechanicus.
Not one of the ones we guessed, but a different loyalist soldier!
March 7th, 2023
New Votann Force Push: GW Rumor Engine
A big hand on a shorter arm meant one thing to us right away: Probably a new Votann (which has been a rumor). Not to mention this pose is already found on another model for the faction!
Maybe Votann was an unlikely guess, but this marine does look pretty sweet.
April 4th, 2023
Corroded Scythe: New Nurgle GW Rumor Engine
There’s no questioning what this engine bit is… It is clearly a scythe! Placing it might be a little bit iffier, but the most likely candidates are Death in AoS and Nurgle in AoS and 40k! However, 40k may be a bit of a stretch without a power source going to the blade.
The last one was definitely one of the easiest with only really 2 possibilities.
14 New GW Releases Left For 2023 & Rumor Engines LATEST
November 16th, 2021
New Necrons Initializing: GW 40k Rumor Engine
Thanks to the very unique cube effect, this bit is very easy to place. It is almost certainly a Necron bit, either for 40k or maybe Kill Team. There’s also a slight chance it could be some repurposed gear that an inquisition agent got a hold of, but that’s always the case with Xenos gear bits!
September 13th, 2022
Sneaky Spider Slashers: New GW Rumor Engine
This is clearly a spider’s head! That means a clear likely release for either one of two AoS factions. Gloomspite Gits and their spider riders or Chaos and their Spider Cult that was spotlighted in Warcry as a Warband. That being said, we really hope it’s Gitz, as they need the help and probably even a rework soon!
October 11th, 2022
A Child’s Toy: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this one, well, it could be a lot of things, so we are kinda stumped! It could be something like Adeptus Mechanicus, Dark Mechanicus, or even Necrons, but it’s just not clear. Nothing currently released really looks like it. (It does, however, look similar to the shape game kids play!)
November 1st, 2022
Smokestacks Don’t Belong Upside-Down: GW Rumor Engine
This is a hard engine to place because it can practically be any faction in 40k (besides a few outliers). That being said, one faction is more known for big diesel-like trucks, and that’s Orks!
November 15th, 2022
Under Lock and Key: GW Rumor Engine
This new rumor engine is very clearly a lock on a circular piece of metal, but that doesn’t make it easy to place! It could be terrains like a man-hole-style hatch or even part of a new vehicle. Who knows!
January 10th, 2023
Smoke & Mirrors: New GW Rumor Engine
Right when we saw this engine, two possibilities came up first. Some kind of trader in Necromunda and Hedonites of Slaanesh in AoS.
March 14th, 2023
A Duo of Spears: New GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this new bit, we think Realmlords are definitely probable, but it still could be something else too! We are reasonably sure it’s for AoS and not 40k, though…
March 21st, 2023
More Ogors on the Way: New GW Rumor Engine
Right away this hammer reminded us about Ogors, which is a clear fit, but it could technically also be for Sons of Behemat or even Orruks… Still, Ogors seem like the best guess right now!
March 28th, 2023
Lizards & Teef: New Seraphon GW Rumor Engine
Immediately after looking at this, we thought of two factions in AoS, Orruks (the more Savage kind) and Seraphon! These two aren’t guaranteed, but they do seem the most likely currently.
April 11th, 2023
Hook In The Wind: New Realmlords GW Rumor Engine
Looking at this bit, it immediately stood out as Realmlords do to that cloud-like effect, but the hook tentacle is interesting and brings up other possibilities like Idoneth Deepkin too!
April 18th, 2023
Spooky Spirit Fingers: New Flesh Eater Courts GW Rumor Engine
This Engine bit is pretty wide open for possibilities, but we are leaning more towards Death in AoS, making Flesh Eaters more likely than the rest. This bit might also be upside down!
April 25th, 2023
Electricity Flows Through It: New Votann GW Rumor Engine
There is a clear similarity to Ad Mech thanks to the design of electricity-based weapons, but we think this has an excellent chance to be a future Votann release too!
May 2nd, 2023
A Patchwork Cape: New Skaven GW Rumor Engine
Now this engine was obviously a section of patchwork cloth, but placing it is harder! It can be anything death-related, whether that is Skeletons or even Death Guard! Perhaps even Skaven?
May 9th, 2023
A Scaled Tail: New Daemon Seraphon GW Rumor Engine
This rumor engine is very clearly an organic part of a creature, and the ridges (and lack of plates) make it look like Daemons or lizards rather than Tyranids…
That is it for this one; what new previews do you think we’ll see next?
