That is indeed the current norm, but

The Deathguard were previewed well in advance, and the release went on for ages (a couple of months anyway) after the book dropped too so it's not impossible

The book and Warscroll Cards are up for preorder on April 14th, we don't have dates for any of the models. That's something that was made repeatedly clear in the Idoneth related threads.

Yup, because it totally makes sense to release book for new range without any models for said range. If you really believe that, I have a bridge to sell you, even without considering we're talking about Games "No models, No rules" Workshop, a company that would choose to release rulebook a month after the models rather than give a free window of opportunity to IP pirates and recasters...

Do you for one second think that the entire range is going to be preordering on the same weekend?

Because, spoiler, that's not been the way they've done this for quite some time.

Do they ever reveal the model the Rumor Engine is based on? I don't think I've ever seen GW reveal the model, but I don't pay that much attention to the Rumor Engines/Community Pages.

They update the relevant rumor page with a link to the model when it's officially released, but they don't make any sort of announcement. You have to actually look back through the Community archives to find it.

This. You can see an example HERE.

In before hair squig. Although no real clue this time, the bottom part does look vaguely like hair.

I would guess someone with long hair on a horse

That's not what's meant by no model/no rule. These things have models. For all the rules.

Paranoid nonsense, and how would releasing the models after the book help recasters? What would they be recasting???

**BrookM**

If we could keep the discussion in this thread focused on the images of the weekly Rumour Engine, that would be great!

**Geifer**

Oh, that's easy. It's a bald dude wearing a hat with a gigantic horsehair plume holding an even more gigantic feather that bends under its own wait and touches the plume. Some kind of scribe, no doubt, is what you're thinking. But no. Tattoo artist. Can't be anything else.

The rumour engine from the 9th of January 2018 has been revealed, I'm not sure if this is news already:

are those tree branches the same as the leaked rumor mill?

The "tree branches"(and possibly some of the coral stalks) that GW have been using for the Deepkin photos are from some of the 40k deathworld terrain https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Deathworld-Barbed-Venomgorse-2017. Suits the undersea theme better then the deathworld one IMO

Probably the new Stormcast wizard types.

These guys:

Well... It's probably not new Genestealers.

They aren't subject to any particular game with these, right? It could be necromunda, more new elves (or eldar), new emperor's children, a new bloodbowl team (lizards?).

Hoping it's a new primarch. Jaghatai Khan!

**bubber**

In the 'solved' part, this has been marked as 'Daughters of Khaine' but I think otherwise:

isn't it this:

Also the head piece is this:

ok - the head piece isn't 100% but maybe there's an option?

**Kanluwen**

So far the "head piece" doesn't match anything we've gotten/seen.

**HorticulusDK**

@Bubber and Kanluwen, the last rumor engine isn't from the Soulrender (it lacks the lamp) but is from the Shark raiders "gunners" !

**bubber**

latest spoiler:

Must be one of those stone window squigs.

The headpiece is from the eel riders.

That's clearly a detail from the new Gothic ruins set, for the re-release of Kill Team, as I've marked on the attached image. The images were leaked a month ago, https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/752827.page

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

They weren't leaked.

They were previewed by GW at that toy fair. Or possibly Adepticon. I forget which. But that's not a leak.

**Verviedi**

Cool, I’ll just move it straight to solved.

Ditto for rider head piece, it was pointed out on last page 3 weeks ago. "Doesn't match anything we've seen"?

No. I believe half of it will be, like always. And lo and behold, it was, just like I said! Turns out GW doesn't publish books without models, who could have guessed?

**Zingraff**

I don't know if this has been posted before, as my search didn't reveal anything, but both of these

Spoiler:

...are of "Lotann, Warden of the Soul Ledgers". https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NO/Lotann-Warden-Of-The-Soul-Ledgers-2018
