Grot sword for 40k?
A grot kaptain can only dream...

Red gobbo?

I'll go off at a tangent with Dark Aeldarii or naughty elfs as we should really call them

You mean naughty aelfs, right?

Maybe this sword will be a part of the Gorkamorka rumor for this fall?

Seems extremely unlikely.

Gorkamorka seems more like wild speculation and wishful thinking than a solid rumour. With Adeptus Titanicus, Kill Team and Rogue Trader already scheduled for release this year the various people who work on spin-off games should be pretty busy already.

Plus this doesn't look much like any 40k ork gear. They tend to have chunky knives and anything longer than a knife always has 'teeth' attached. It could be a grot blade, but it would be odd for Gorkamorka to include grots when there are so many other models which make more sense for it (deffkoptas, buggies, wartrakks, biker boss).

I think it's probably fantasy grots (or whatever they are called now).

Dunno, Gorkamorka could be a one shot, similar to Shadow War, Knights Renegade, storm cloud attack or that Dark Eldar one. New Ork vehicles and assorted models could be bundled up into a Gorkamorka game.

After looking at the new Stormcast chamber - I think the April 10 hair bit is solved as well. The Lord Arcanum's mount has a double tail that flips very similarly.

Forgebane came more or less out of nowhere, right? I'd say they can make a Gorkamorka box more or less the same way.

One new kit x2 (buggy/deffkopta), two Characters (a plastic Big Mek with KFF and a plastic Warboss with big choppa), two old Boyz sprues and a Trukk. A little story about the crashed space hulk, and three custom scenarios tied together. Done.

Release by summer/early fall, giving the Ork players something to hold them over until the codex drops in November.

Gorkamorka would require more work than Forgebane though, as Forgebane was quite light on the new written content, just three scenarios and some fluff.

Yeah, unless they skip the campaign stuff and just do it as a one-off.

It'll be a bit shadow war esque if they did it. A butchered, simplified rehash of the original rules. And then everyone clamours for more and GW are shocked.

The chain has been solved:

Yeah for the new big Knight. Photos leaked on Facebook earlier, should be some official photos in the ‘preorder next week’ article on WarCom soon.

The chilli burger is back on at Bugmans, I take it?

Hope OP updates soon

Remember when many thought that lion thingie up there mean another Primarch was soon arriving?

Yeah, me too...

I will, I'm just quite busy and don't have much time on my PC.

... here are more comparisons
Edit 1: ... also the rose leak has a semblance to the decorative bits on the banshees of the new nighthaunt, but nothing matching 100% as of yet

The April 10th one also looks very similar to the tail from the new stormcast mount.

damn you are right!


... matches perfectly

Why would a Primarch wear Stormcast iconography? It was an already established symbol.

No kidding, right?

I mean, apart from one of them literally being called "The Lion", and prior rumours(their reliability aside) mentioning him as one of the possibilities for the next Loyalist Primarch to come back, sure, no reason at all. But yeah, sure, nothing Warhammery has ever used leonine iconography before the Stormcast

Nobody thought that metal lion was from a primarch. The one people teorised for being of a Primarch was the lion face that ended up being the cape of Trajann Valoris.

Yeah, that too!

I mean, the whole process is pretty much a useless thing start to finish, but I suppose it does get people talking about...stuff?

Nah, the lion head was too lame to fit a primarch level character. I thought it belong to some infantry size character/unit.

OK?

I'm not sure anyone really believes their 'guesses' anyway.

Might as well just type 'squig' and wait (Ha!) for the inevitable after the fact 'reveal' months down the road.
