Aeronautica Imperialis Super bomb!

Going with a new Basilisk/Medusa kit--complete with a rotary artillery shell loader!

Its probably from something in the 40k/30k setting and its probably Human tech. Beyond that I got nothing

Look a bit like Thudd Gun shells:

Ogryn RPG/rocket/grenade launcher. With this being a shot of one reloading the revolving magazine on the weapon.

Could be the Imperial Guard Griffon is making a comeback?

It would be so much fun if this was dangling from a balloon and was Cawl's Imperial version of a spore mine.

Or mounted on the shoulder of a Kastelan, to give us our own version of a Wyvern?

Kastelan with dual bomb revolver fist for that extra punch in melee. Bomb delivery in style!

Maybe an IG flier?

Can we be so lucky?

Well the possibility to unload all at once would be for sure something I would like to see
as a rule option!

I'm hoping a rotary bomb rack for a new imperial navy fighter bomber, maybe swappable with a single massive bomb

I joked before, but in all seriousness, it's pretty plain and utilitarian. Not s a single skull or aquila. Begs the question if it's Imperial at all.

Luck is a Squat zeppelin.

If it is not, GW should fire their design team and hire you instead.
Cannot un-hope the Cawl bomb baloon!

By the way, the new ossiarch lord had a triple bone tail on his beast that appeared in a rumour engine pic, right?
Edit: newermind, it was already pointed out.

Are Squats not Imperial?

Although in the real world there are cannon which fire finned shells, I would expect a GW kit to only have fins on bombs and missiles. It's just about possible that could be part of a new Exorcist kit, but I think it's more likely to be the bomb rack of some kind of flyer. It looks clean enough that it would be surprising if it was a fantasy kit, although some of them look pretty high-tech now. I think the overall style isn't consistent with the new marine aesthetic, it isn't weird enough for Chaos or Ad-Mech, and it seems too military for Genestealer Cults. That means that the most likely faction would be the Imperial Navy / Aeronautica Imperialis with some possibility that either my previous assumptions were wrong or that it is for a minor Imperial faction (or even a new one). It looks too complex to be in the new epic scale unless they are really big bombs; as far as I can tell, there are at least seven parts shown (six bombs, each with a section of the rack, plus the bit they attach to; undercuts would make it impossible to make with fewer parts in plastic). That means it is probably a 40k model.

its part of the new Hellboy squig obs!

Titanicus weapon?

It looks like a component to a bomber. Maybe admech is finally getting a flier as part of psychic awakening.

Squats were imperial. Mostly.

Squats were imperial. Mostly.

Squats were allied to the Imperium, kind of like how the Adeptus Mechanicus is. They got away with it by being an enormous interplanetary polity of their own, who mostly colonised worlds where only they could live comfortably and had their own independent resource base and technology. Kind of like the Adeptus Mechanicus. They were even mostly human. Sort of like the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Then they were eaten by the Tyranids. Unlike the Adeptus Mechanicus…
My working hypothesis is that the Adeptus Mechanicus were jealous of them knowing how stuff worked and managed to summon a tendril of leviathan to wipe them out, without really thinking it through properly.

Hmmm I’m going to say it’s a magazine from a cowboy theme imperial knight 6 shooter. Lol. Or more along the lines of an arty auto loader.

Kharadron scenery.

agreed its most likely a 40k faction and either an imperial or chaos faction, the bombs don't seem xenos enough to be anything else. It feels guard, not sure why

It lacks the decorations found on kharadon stuff

Looking at the brushstrokes, an inaccurate science as it is, I'd say this looks too bit be for Aeronautica/Titanicus scale.

Nemesis Warbringer Quake Cannon loader?

Im not one to mark words, but I honestly dont understand what you try to say. Its too bit be? Is that a bit you expect to be for Aeronautica, or is the bit too big for Aeronautica?

Gah! Sorry. Typo.

Too big to be Aeronautica/Titanicus scale.

In that case, I agree.
I would say probably AM, but that would imply AM actually get something new, so marines would be the appropriate guess.

...nevermind, old Boney and his dodgy spelling...
