Fair point.

Perhaps we're getting more than one Armiger sized Knight? I'd be up for that!

Do you think it's really going to have just the one arm weapon?

Of course not

But I'm still hoping we're getting a second complete kit, a different pattern entirely.

First thought Tau, but it's not smooth enough. And for AdMec it somehow is to smooth.... something suggests a new toy for Primarines to me, but that's just poor guessing.

I don't think they'd do a Rumor Engine on a model that's already been revealed, even if it's an option we haven't seen yet. Hopefully this is from another new Knight model we haven't seen yet.

"Ah, but we don't show miniatures previewed elsewhere in the Rumour Engine"

Direct copy from Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page. So it's definitely not the Armiger.

Looks like some kinda gun to me. Maybe the muzzle of an energy weapon. Failing that an exhaust/engine. The shape of it looks more Imperial to me. Tau is more square and sharp for robot bits.

Now see, that's actually something I'd never seen before.

Falling back on the Knight Armiger, I'm going to say it's a new class of robot for AdMech.

The Armiger was already fully shown off, so it makes sense.

But now that you mention AdMech, it has the same rounded shapes as the Kastelans. Makes me think of the Forgeworld Mechanicum jump-pack robots. Maybe an updated version of that? Or a beam/energy weapon for a new battle robot.

Working on it

I remember hearing a rumor somewhere about a Necron/Admech box set thing. Maybe this (Possibly) new bot, the armiger, and the new cryptek model may have meaning?

Highly, highly doubtful that's the case, but I hope it is

<Dynasty> ~10500pts
War Coven of the Coruscating Gaze ~3000pts
Thrice-Damned Plague Corps ~3250pts
Admech (TBN) ~3500pts +30k Bots and Ulator

I've been, for some time, jokingly saying that something the size of the Redemptor with the ability to 'spawn' little Servo Skulls or Minebots would be a good way to give AdMech a bit more board control.

Without having a point of reference or anything to work with, it's hard to say exactly how large this preview was...but it looks to be a bit larger than the weapons on the Kastelans.

Having taken a look at model range I would have to go with Tau. The raised disk shaped structure on the right and the cylindrical structure on the bottom are very similar to existing Tau battlesuits.

I admit, most of the raised disks you see on Tau vehicles are bisected by a groove or symbol but you can see some that aren't also. You also see the same kind of recessed rivets there too.

The tubular, half-circle guard is also more indicative of Tau. Handrails, rungs and railings on Knights and Mechanicus vehicles are more squared off or look like joined together pipe sections.

It does look bumpy and angular but Tau battlesuit weapons can be very bumpy and boxy with ridges and vents and things.

The thing is, we know the Tau book is coming soon--and they didn't get called out as getting anything new.

Also the part on the left is actually close to what we saw as a 'buttcap' for the Custodes jetbikes with the AdMech skull on them.
If one flips the image to look at this as being on the inside of whatever it is(facing the body), the look actually is a lot closer to a Knight than you might know.

Some guy over at Bolter And Chainsword has been leaking Knight information. No idea how reliable this information is but:

Praise the Omnissiah!

As I invoke the sacred texts and raise the memory banks... there are 4 knight boxes coming.

The Amiger Warblade we've seen
There's something I think called a "Helliger" <spelling mistake is possible>

There's a Castellan
And another one that I think was called a Valiant which again may be the wrong name but is similar.

I think I saw they will rerelease Imperial Knight Renegade

And then you have a codex, datacards and I think dice, but don't quote me on that last bit.

Ehhhhh...It still looks more Tau to me. And, while I think it's unlikely, just because GW didn't preview something for the Tau book doesn't mean they aren't getting something but even if they don't this may be for a Tau release that's not in the upcoming Codex. The oldest unsolved rumors are from just over a year ago. We may be looking at a release in support of a boxed game or Tau Warzone that won't see the light of day until 2019.

man I hope not...I mean, I don't particularly care either way, but just imagine the fresh wave of "more space marines? boooooo!" (to put it very mildly)

Doubt it. Doesn’t look like infantry, and they just got a vehicle.

Actually, any idea about the scale of this thing? That could help solve the Imperium/Tau argument.

If the rivets are around 0.5-1 millimetre, the image is about 10-20 mm across, which seems kind of big for infantry gear, but just about plausible if it's a big weapon or backpack although I'd say a vehicle seems much more likely.

Some images of the Khinerai on display at warhammer world popped up, this is where the end of one tail connects to the rock on the base. So yet another rumor engine solved by the DoK release.

re the most recent leak: I think it might be an infantry, arm-mounted weapon. Maybe a primaris centurion or terminator, like a heavy aggressor.

Yup definitely not the same. It is probably from the upcoming Idoneth Deepkin if the rumours of them being Atlantis Aelves are true.

While the raised circle and the small square indent are quite typical aspects of T'au design, something that doesn't fit with their look is the raised vent-like bit sticking out on the top. That isn't something we've seen anything like with T'au stuff before, that i know of. Usually any sort of vents or anything like that is integrated into the actual design, or at least done in a way where it isn't just a small bit sticking out like that - compared to something like the side of the Fusion Blaster, it seems a lot more tacked on and primitive. I keep thinking i've seen something like it before, potentially with the Kharadron Overlords, but i can't find anything similar.
