Weapon for some ''mini'' Ordinatus?

Astra Militarum faction terrain?

It has a very ad mech vibe to it, which suggests terrain to me..

Knight weapon, some kind of energy projector is my guess.

Comm array of some sort, maybe a carapace mount for the new dreadnought that swaps for that missile array from the earlier engine pic?

I guess the guy that guessed Ash Waste gets all the Points:


IG Rumor Engines back to 0. All Vehicles are probably Necromunda up to this point.

I suspect it is an Ash Wastes vehicle, but not the land train as there are a different number of hub bolts and gw artists copying from a model tend to get those sort of things right (so possibly a buggy etc with similar wheel set up)

The front of the Orlock land train def looks like this rumour engine though.

Wonder if GW would pull an item from Necromunda to work double duty in 40K. They could make an Imperial Guard buggy with battle damage extra parts to make it look more ramshackle and sell it for use in Necromunda. Then we could have a Tallarn/Elysian buggy with ganger bits sprue to replace parts/driver/gunner. Like the old Imperial and Chaos vehicle sprue. That way it could also be used for cultists with another sprue or just use the gangers as chaos imperial guard cultists.

No early rumor engines?

Never mind early. It’s late.

You there! Go find it!

These are the three outstanding Rumour Engines that seem to be vehicle-based. I, personally, am thinking that there is a redesign of the Sabre Weapons Platform concept coming for Imperial Guard.

I'm starting to think this is for the Ash Wastes Necromunda stuff.

I'd agree for the first two, the bag and bedrolls seems very caravan-y the second one looks like a buggy suspension with a tire hub identical to the Ash Waste trailer's land train.

The third one looks very Space Marine like though. The revolver cylinder style rotary launcher has only been used on the Storm Speeder Thunderstrike to my knowledge. And the (what looks to me like an) optic on the right has the same rectangular blocks mainly seen on Primaris scopes.

I know it'll sound silly given the apparent size but I wonder if the missile array is the weapon for the rumored Primaris missile squad. It'd certainly explain the offset optic.

That third image has hazard stripes, so gotta be Necromunda (or Iron Warriors, but no CSM vibe).
A single dark colour suggests orlocks or palatines...

The cylindrical missile thing is also on the Mechanicus Onager.

I mean bolters are space marine weapons, but plenty of chodes in Necromunda can have them. I really think this is some kind of missile launcher on a mad max car. A lot of the new primairs aesthetic has been very cylindical, so I'd imagine any missile systems they're going to get will not be cubic, but much more like a tube.

Also, no image this week? That's a first.

The cover on that missile box has the same broken x pattern that all the frag grenade boxes and the hunter slayer missile on repulsors and gladiators do.

No rumour engine this week.

Which means the rumour doesn’t exist.

You know what else doesn’t exist?

Fishmen.

Fishmen are this week’s rumour engine.

Same as the Dunecrawler's missile option too

That new Sector Fronteris landing pad also has hazard stripes. Maybe this is an AA emplacement that goes together with that big dish that they also previewed.

I wonder if the rumor engine post was supposed to be the BB Yeti.

Necromunda Luggage.

Yeah, that's got to be a carriage for the land train.

Damn, those shallow details look terrible. Must be terrain.

Ash Waste terrain!

Ash Waste objective markers.

Yeah got to be terrain, probably linked to the other vehicle ash wastes stuff.

Looks like the ork scrap piles, but for humans.

Yea this, a bad, one-piece, no undercuts relief of bits.
