Looks like a typical Sons of Horus helmet

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

It's the fantasy version of a rokkit strapped to a hammer. Only here the orc has to masterfully time hitting the target when the fuse burns down.

Doesn't look that Skaveny really, nor is it particularly Orcish.

Looks more like a grenado than part of an artillery piece.

Wild guess: it's Empire but they are making their black powder look "low tech" based on the timeline.

Could be hobgrots for chaos dwarves? The chaos dwarves provide them with grenades?

Hm, could be Skaven actually. Could give a bit of credence to that new AoS edition rumour.

Rumoured new rat ogre ranged weapon ?

New skaven weapon teams?

I got the impression in the past, though I'm not sure how accurate it is, that new edition armies don't feature in the rumor engine. At a guess so as not to spoil the surprise, however much that is worth for a company as leaky as GW.

So I'm a bit doubtful about it being Skaven.

I like the suggestion that it might be related to Chaos Dwarfs. They're overdue.

Early again today!



Guess who’s back? Back again. Yarrick’s back. Tell a friend.

That would be wild.

Older style Storm Bolter. Imperial Guard insignia on the cowling.

It’s Yarrick I tells ya!

Marines use winged skulls, too. It's obviously the next Primaris lieutenant. This time in terminator armor.

Bolter squig

To be fair, we could use a TDA Lt.

Do any terminators have slings on their SBs?

If we are trying to point to a new sculpt of an old character, who uses a SB that’s still in finecast? Assuming all the imperial stuff is the same model, this puts a damper on the Cotez talk.

Oh, I know. A normal company would just have a single lieutenant entry and give you wargear options so you can have your lieutenant in terminator armor. But GW is not a normal company, so we have to hope that with 10th ed being the time Terminators are redone, a specific model for a Terminator Lieutenant is released to get the option. So I wouldn't at all be surprised if my guess were actually correct.

The previous plastic Terminator Captain has a sling. Not sure if it's the only one, but the precedent is there.



While Coteaz doesn't have a stormbolter, he has not shortage of henchmen. I believe Acolytes used to have the option, and one would hope that with the Inquisition so starved for releases, we'd get more than just a single named character (if that's what the older rumor engine pictures are, of course).

Death Korps Marshal.

Belial

Old model for context:

Ok, thanks for the info. TDA can use slings.

The one from the rumor engine seems less chonky then most SBs? Like it’s for a human/PA model.

I will wager one whole chest of cursed Aztec gold, that the storm bolter is Yarrick.

The little doodad on the front of the sling looks like a lightning bolt to me. And the Steel Legion minis all have lightning bolt patches on their sleeves.

Yarrick's dead.

It might be his storm bolter or something as a relic?

It now belongs to his daughter

Who says Yarrick's dead? I don't remember seeing the body anywhere? It could be cyber-yarrick, who is very much alive after having been frozen in stasis by Trazyn the Infinite and whisked through time a few hundred years and then given to Cawl undergo extreme bionic modification and returned to the front lines to hunt down his arch-nemesis once and for all.

The codex said it.

Everybody else be going Primaris mode, why not him.

Because he's dead.

You must be fun at parties.

Datasheet or option is pretty much irrelevant(though 1 sheet with options limits # of lietnants you could field to max 3). Without model neither exist though but you conveniently forgot that eh?

I'm a freaking delight.

I get you want Yarrick, but they made a whole thing about his death in the codex.

Seriously, just let yarric be dead and sainted as one of the big heroes of humanity.

Guard has moved on to a more serious boring style and there is no place for a guy with absurdly big ork-claw and insane plot armour. He is an outdated comic relief for a 40k long gone.

Some sort of flag?

Could be, but not completely convinced. The damage isn’t quite what I’d expect on “cloth”.

 Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:

That was my thought as well at fist glance. The shape is right, pattern looks good. But it’s got both little nicks of battledamage as well as holes blown through. I would not think a thin flag would have the thickness to just have the shallow dings.

But still, getting banner vibes.

It's an AM standard, has the same diagonal cross background as a lot of existing standards including the new Cadian Command Squad. Being a bit beaten it's possibly from DKoK.

The skull's from the DKoK transfer sheet.

I'm going with some sort of Yarrick diorama-style model, like the Triumph of St. Katherine and the Grail Pilgrims unit from the Brets. Not sure if Yarrick will be enshrined or dreadnoughted, though.

 Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:

From the size of the bullet holes (and the decal), I'd guess the scratches are supposed to be cuts and tears that couldn't be cast as actual gaps, which is why they look a bit off for the material

Nice, finally getting a DKoK Command Squad, it looks like.

Yeah it’s probably a banner but I’m gonna hope for barded Death Riders anyway.

A flag! Ofcourse.
I was going crazy trying to figure out why they would make a beat up TIE fighter.

 Mr_Rose wrote:

Why not both? Death Rider command squad.

The stormbolter is for sure going to be Belial. There is a rumored army box of Deathwing with him, 5 knights, 10 terminators and the new DA codex.

Potion!

Spooks!

That’s someone pouring out some souls they had bottled up for a special occasion.

Definitely goes with the nurgle book

Interesting one that! Very long and spindly arm, some sorta necromancer type or Licky Priest maybe?

 GaroRobe wrote:

Thats what they want you to think, but the Nurgle book hand has four fingers and dark clawlike nails, while this potion hand has five fingers and appear to lack nails.

There's really no other option than Nighthaunt or Soulblight, is there?

Or a random new Warcry faction of course.

A very skinny goblin?

 H.B.M.C. wrote:

Or Hobgoblin shaman?

Kurnothi? Goat cavalry for Halflings in AoS?

Kuornothi seems a good guess.

I can say why, but the pose makes me think “Centaur”. Now, that could be Centigor. Lawks knows they need a refresh.

I ruled out centigors as it's too clean. No spikes or crummy leather wraps.

Really hope this is Kurnothi at last. I've been waiting for a proper Wood Elf type faction in AoS. I would really love to see next year expand the playable factions into Kurnothi, Shadow Aelves, and Chaos Duardin.

We had a centaur like Kurnothi in Underworlds so maybe entire unit of them?

Death Korp vs Nurgle boxed set

But centaurs have paws, right? I think Ghorros had hooves but the actual centaurs had toes

Any horse

I know this is a leap of faith, but trust me; those are hooves!

Yeah, neither Death Riders or Centigors had hooves and the hair isn't done in the same way as the centaur in Skaeth’s Wild Hunt.

It's a lot closer to the newer unicorn in the Old World's Bretonia or the new chaos knights. Something wild, as the Cities of Sigmar's steeds have less shaggy hooves.

I think Wood Elves myself.

You've thought every rumour engine shown so far has been old world. When was the last time a specialist game even appeared in an engine?

Could be a Bretonnian Hippogryph, but then again, they said they already showed us all the bret stuff that will be released for TOW.

The mid air pose would also fit the dynamic and jumpy curnoti.

For the release. RE may come down the line.

They haven’t said the advent ones are all getting revealed on Christmas or anything have they?

I hope it's death riders.
Wild prediction is a new box set with new command squad, death riders and yarrick

A horrible mutant with the back end of a horse and the front end of a horse.

So the hoof is from the mountain goat he’s riding into battle? Good good.

Sandbag.

Squig Kraken!

That's some unusual armour on this mouth. Slaaneshi or Elven? Perhaps even...Aeldari?
Though the mouth has more of a chaotic feel.

Scyla Anfingrimm.

I'm thinking Tzeentch, hopefully not just one of those super specific heralds

A horse with the front end of a horrible mutant and the rear of a horrible mutant!

Its Venom Pacman.

Agree about the snout armour, looks odd. It could be some weird Necromunda beastie.

Seraphon?

My first thought was a squig, but maybe a dragon?

Kroot big beastie maybe?

I actually agree with the Tzeentch comment.

The armour looks that kind of ornate style

Domandi wrote:

If it was kroot it would be more defined as a beak, not a mouth with ragged teeth.

Could be an updated Chaos Spawn?

My thought was squig as well

It's got hints of a scale pattern on the snout that rules out squigs I think.

Common thoughts are kt resembles the mouth of the varanguard mount mouths

Dudeface wrote:

Yeah, I could see that too.

Some stuff.

Looks like it belongs to the Nighthaunt potion hand from door number 16.

I guess Epidemus doesn’t make potions but maybe it’s part of a thing for Kugath? I still feel like it may be relate to the nurgle books. Though nighthaunts are just as likely

A bit too clean for nurgle no ? I'm Nighthaunt team on this one.

Not sure about nighthaunt, they dont feel very much like using a potions lab, but I admit my knowledge about them is limited to current visual range.

Perhaps they try to bring back Heinrich Kemmler in an AoS context.

My Hail Mary shot is it being a new diorama-character update for Festus the Leechlord with a bunch of horrible little attendants.

More realistically, do the metal finishings on the alchemy rack have an intentional design? Perhaps too subtly so, the one on the right has an almost lion or bear-like shape? Could just be dents in old metal. The left side looks too different for normal wear and tear, so who knows. An eagle, maybe? I wouldn't catch the significance

A sword

Stormcast. Vigilors and the new Questor warbands match apparently.

They haven't shown off Squires despite then being in the army list, or Mounted Yeomen.

Not saying it's a lock, just throwing it out there. I don't think they have said that they plan on doing a single wave for each faction or whatever.

All of the peasant blades have that same style. Could be for the sergeant at arms.

We know there's at least two different "types" of Kurnothi. The more blessed they are, the more animalistic features they get.

Or it’s Darkoath

Too thin to be Darkoath, and the pants aren't covered in leather strappy bits.

The foot seems more sleek which is more inline with Kurnothi than Darkoath. Plus it's wearing pants, which Darkoath don't do. The pose says mounted, so could link into some sort of centaur rider from that other engine earlier.

There's some Darkoath with pants in the Warcry Warband, but they're also covered in leather straps or bones.

PERSONAL SPECULATION:
We have a Kurnothi Warband rumored for WarCry. I think this, the antlers, and the centauroid hoofs are all from that warband. I could easily see the Centaur as the warband leader or "bruiser". The little bit of lore we have about the Kurnothi has them as getting "blessings" that make them look more animalistic...but they start out as being very Aelf-ish. This could be one of those "normal" Kurnothi Aelfs.

Some of the Darkoath Savagers do have legwear above their boots. Not all, but some.

Chaos. Horse's neck armour?

99% sure it's Chaos.
1% chance of a Blood Knight hero's mount.

Feel like this links into the dragon-esque mouth. Possibly something Varanguard related.

I think this goes with the monster mouth from the other day. Both seem big to me so I'll go for a Varanguard hero (that Lady of Ruin people mention) on a chaos dragon. She'll have that spear from the rumour engine too.

Sticking with Nighthaunt on the vials. Feels like a new "unit of characters" to go with a Regiment of Renown for the new book.

I’m thinking something Daemonic.

That's a vampire skull on the bottle.

Interesting skull on the poison bottle.
Is it a classic vampire undead symbol, or is it supposed to represent spider venom?

That's some zany gak right there.

We've already seen another hand with a bottle of poison, so either this is a creature with more than 2 arms or there's a whole gang of evil chemists.

It could be a multi-model item? There's the Harridans who are cursed healers...maybe a coven of witchgheists?

Would be really nice to see a gobbapalooza style coven of evil chemists

Could definitely see it being a small team of once proficient healers given an ironic punishment by Nagash for delaying his claim on countless souls.

I'd assume Katakros-diorama style, if we go with it being a new character for a Dawnbringers box, but I'm always down for special units like Gobbapalooza or the Freeguild Command Corps

Yea yea ironic flanderized Nighthaunt murder squad sounds likely.

But remember they have to have been Bad Men to end up as an ironic flanderized Nighthaunt murder squad, so something like doctors who secretly intentionally killed patients, or who maybe extorted patients' families for money, or poisoned water supplies to then sell antidotes, etc.

What?

Dreadscythe Harridans didn't do anything to get cursed into murderghosts.

Something feels off about undead dealing with poison. But the pics sure look ghastly in nature.

Maybe it’s a nighthaunt Festus? A scientist or surgeon that Nagash curses to find ways to kill people. Could be a named character or a generic hero

An agglomeration of spooks forming one great mass of ectoplasm with a dozen arms all working different potions.

Some sort of nurgle sorcerer with a retinue of chemists working up new poisons and diseases.

I'm still hopeful that these pics get a reveal on Boxing Day like the ones last year. It would be frustrating if these were just more frequent rumor engine photos with an unknown reveal date.

EDIT: Hmmmm..., I wonder if this is also related to all the potions.

Hobgoblin/goblin/spook alchemist?

Early warcry had elves and dwarfs mixed in the gangs.
Would be a real treat to see a gang made up of a skaven, a spook, a nurgle herald, a, uh, evil vampire chemist vorking together in an unholy alliance.

Or how about a warhammer quest, just reversed so you play the morally dubious guys trying to break in to a human/stormcast stronghold

Black Templar got a vehicle upgrade, so it would make sense. Maybe they’d get some ravenwing or deathwing bits as well?

It looks suspiciously like some background has been cropped out inside the "halo" around the head.

Yup. Because new "Belial" turned out to be trash

I can understand toning down excess bling on all DA terminators, who were frankly all excessive on that front, but "Belial" lost everything that was interesting about him. Less bling than regular TDA captain, tabard that lost all detail and embroidery and is now shapeless rag, loss of all interesting wargear and decorations he had (like that triple sensor array above his head), no unique plate banner, much worse sword (as much as I hate old DA spoon "swords" his arrow one was really neat), worse cape/iron halo, no badges of office/inner circle, and yes, loss of DA icons in favour of generic ones (which would be OK on regular terminators as players might want to convert these but not on frakking faction leader!), this new model is garbage. I admit I expected GW to do better. By far the worst in DA range, even old, generic primaris DA LT shows way more character than this junk

Also, funnily enough, I was the only right on obvious primaris power sword (LOL at suggestions it was Cities of Sigmar, even if you ignored obvious SM hilt/ricasso and latin writing, strap size alone indicated it wasn't human sized model) and censer here, called it was hand carried one not dangling from anything, so there

Going by the reference pic you posted, it's also not thin enough to be an Elf.

I must say, even after the reveal, I dont understand why there is a skeleton inpaled on some pipework, burning, in the middle of some cosy grassy ruins.
I guess Is a quite clever symbol if you are part of the inner circle though.

Just think of the skeleton as a grimdark lawn flamingo. If all you had was an eternity of slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods, wouldn't you want to make the bombed out ruin you live in feel like home, too?

Wow, so we really don't get any reveals this week from the month-long rumor engine pics except the ones that were leaked ahead of time and forced their hand. That's a shame.

We've still got New Year's next week, maybe something'll come along then.

I think they've finally learned from their mistakes the past few years with these. It looks like everything will be out in the first few months, with full reveals at LVO.

Not sure I agree with that being the same as learning from them, but sure.
