This week's Rumour Engine has another glimpse into the future for those perceptive enough to decode it - what do YOU think it could be?

I'm going with a plastic Slaan for Seraphon.

Pandaren Monk staff.

Seems AoS anyway. Cool piece, wonder who would walk around with a load of flasks tied to a bit of wood?

Edit: I really wish these images came with a reveal date, would make it so much more hype.

Its part of a new Death Guard character kit! I know it!

Chen Stormstout confirmed for Mortal Realms.

Looks skaven and like they are carrying around flasks of poison. Weren't there rumors a long time ago about a clan Skyrer release for AoS?

My bet is on that.

Vials of poison from Ku'gath's mobile laboratory?
A long shot maybe.

Skaven are strongly rumoured to be the fourth faction in shadespire so it could be that.

Oh right it's space marine the edition so of course it has to be something for death guard/nurgle.

My first thought was an Ork magic user of some sort, but I think Kan has it for Seraphon Lizardmen, I'm not sure it's a Slaan, but the details on the bottles looks quite Aztec.

I doubt it's Skryer. The get special allegiance abilities in GH2, which would be pretty much wasted space if there was a battletome to follow in the next months.

My first thought was also Warcraft pandaren

Because it brought the image of the Pandaren, I thought about Mists of Pandaria and the Jinyu and I legit thought about it being fishmen.

Kroot!

Hmm... Looks suspiciously like the vials over this plague marine from the art.



The plague marine on the right is an exact representation of the one from DI, so I'm guessing the one on the left is a Nurgle Apothecary type of unit?

Well whadda ya know.It is DG.

Damn they really seem to have quite the variety in characters.

Haven't even put together my DI DG yet as im waiting to move house, waiting for this release and trying to resist starting another army until at least finishing one but will be buying a lot of DG.

Gonna be the first army I collect centered around a special character, since I never use SC's.

Edit: Also in the latest regimental standard there is a cheeky mention of beasts of nurgle being fought against, gonna go with thats a hint.

It's also Primaris armour!

These look completely different to me. More like wine gourds you would see in a kung fu movie. I wouldn't rule out AoS Nurgle/Nurgle Daemons, though, since Tzeentch got a large AoS/Daemon release shortly after Thousand Sons.

Would be cool if they somehow made the helmet to resemble plague doctors back in the day.

DG logic: Not feeling well? Drink this poison!

Looks like the one on the right has the same needle/rebreather setup as the bloat drone

In the Death Guard booklet that comes with Dark Imperium box set, it makes mention of 2 other types of Nurgle sorcerers.

I might kinda like the sound of that...just buffs and debuffs for everyone, spreading nurgle's gifts all over the place

Looks like an Apothecary to me.

I can definitely see this as some kind of Apothecary. I could also see it being a sort of chem brewer. Perhaps he can buff plague weapons, make it to where one model/unit could reroll all failed to wound rather than just ones?

It's very clearly Sisters of Primaris.

The one on the left. It was already announced Chaos will have Primaris suits...

No it wasn't, it was mentioned they'd get Primaris equivalents.

The Chaos Primaris equivalents is cult troops being bigger and better. Really, Primaris is the Loyalist Marine cult units.
