Looks like the exhaust from the back of any dreadnought.

IMPERIAL KNIGHT EXHAUSTS.

I feel like we are going to get a new record for time from rumour engine to reveal as gw are probably going to show off the rest of the imperial knights range tomorrow.

The little holes at the top and bottom look like side vents on bolter barrels.

I suspect it's an alternate weapon for the tiny knight.

I'm pretty sure the exhaust vents on the plastic Knights have those exact same holes.

Those are also present on the engines for the Knights.

The cowling certainly looks like a imperial knight exaust.

incoming knight codex?!?!?!

Flying squid knight

Yeah, I'm 100% in the "SomethingsomethingKnightSide" camp.

Squig.

Squig Knight!

It's like Michael Knight, but less 80's.

I can only hope. If we get multiple Armiger variants I'm gonna drop Benjamins, lol

It's the exhaust cowling from the Armiger Warglaive.
You can clearly see this on the 360 view of the Armiger on the GW Webstore.

Not much of a rumour then....

This is also much chunkier than the Armiger.

I'm hoping for a modern take on this bad boy...

No it's not.

Its very close to the exhaust cowling for the existing plastic Imperial Knight. But looking at the rivets and the cut outs at the end of the pipe it seems smaller? The regular Knight has three rivets and two cut outs per pipe. So maybe there is a 2nd smaller IK frame that's not an Armiger variant on the way? But then the Knight only has one of those smaller style pipes(top and bottom of the pic) as part of its stack. So could it be from a new large Imperial Knight with a triple(or more) pipe exhaust? Either way its to close in design to the current Imperial Knights exhaust to IMO be anything other than a third Knight frame in plastic

That is my exact conclusion as well. Also note that on the current knight the perforated heat cowl is divided into three sections whereas this one is only split into two such sections. My inclination is that it will be a medium knight kit--larger than the Armiger but smaller than the current knight. But as you say, there's nothing to rule out an even larger knight with several of these slightly smaller stacks. My suspicion is that there is a higher degree of likelihood of the former rather than the latter.

EDIT (03/22/18): Nope. Well, I was off—turns out it was a MUCH larger knight after all. Oh well. I've been wrong before...

Or it could be an even smaller than the Armiger Knight variant that only has one smoke stack and goes "Pew Pew!" with a laser!

The possibilities are endless!

Sure. Or it could be a Black Gobo riding a Mecha Unicorn (but it probably isn't)

... and now Im picturing a stumpy-legged knight barely higher than a spacemarine shooting a lasgun. Thanks for that.

I guess you could say it would be a rather squat knight

Or even a Sister unit to fight alongside in Battle...

Alongside? Nah, the Sister is on top. Like blaster master.
Or maybe the knight is riding the Sister. Its a really small knight, ok?

So long as it fits on the back of a plastic Thunderhawk...

There is a thread over on the B&C AM section http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343659-ad-mech-vs-necrons-box-in-march/ with a poster who seemed to be fairly accurate on the Forgebane box. He mentions a new Knight coming called the Castellan. A name that was used in the old Epic for a Knight http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Knight_Castellan. Considering how the current Knight kit seems to take some inspiration from the old Epic Knight Paladin and Errant models, I'm really hoping he's right about a new version of the Castellan.

It'd fill an obvious hole in the knight line up, right now we have a light flanker type, the main line trooper... a "heavy mech" varient seems likely.

Doesn't pretty much every single FW knight besides Questoris line qualify as 'heavier' knight though? They are all larger and more powerfully armed than plastic one, sooo...

Doomrider's back up bike exhaust.

Its obviously exhaust for the new motorsquig, for the new buggy kit

I would very much like a Knight Castellan with a Quake Cannon

It's clearly the exhaust for the Jet bike "Angelus" that the Lion will be riding.
