It beggiiiiiiins! And here is a handy link to Warboss Kurgan, who rather helpfully compiles every existing Rumour Engine, solved or not.

I prefer to think of them as the twin tails of a monstrous skaven stormvermin unit (even if i'm wrong)

I’ll that to the OP!

Literally just a zoomed-out version of the one from March last year.

I think they go together like this:



Or maybe it's just the same object seen from the other side. Either way, Chaos Knight seems likely.

Seems to be unanimous, Chaos Knight sized power scourge or whatever they're called now

I still am on the verge of believing that Chaos will also get more Daemon Engines at some point.

Solely because of that Echoes of Awakening thing from Psychic Awakening.

This rumour engine makes me believe that more now.

(unless it something related to the new Renegade Knights)

Here’s the Epic scale original for context.



Thanks, eBay. Thabay.

My only issue thought process wise, is what will a knight sized power scourge offer? Traditionally they've been a multi-attack s:user D1 power weapon so far. Unless this gives a knight 5/6 attacks per attack I'm struggling to see a niche, even then I'm not sold on the idea.

New CSM Death Squid confirmed.

If I’m right and it’s specifically an Energy Whip, it’s intended to fry the crew of opposing vehicles by surging their feeds and that with energy. In Adeptus Titanicus, it easily fried MIU’s specifically, and was pretty nasty as a result.

I went through that whole Rumour Engine list. It's amazing how long some of them took to solve, some just recently (the Inquisitor and the emaciated 'Orc'). There are some on there that still haven't been solved from ages ago.

When in doubt: Mortal Wounds.

The oldest one is this, from March 2020.
Like, all the possible hype one could get from said pic died down well over a year ago, come on, what's the point of teasing something that's not gonna be revealed for years.

I'm still holding out hope for a Defiler resculpt. We're also still waiting for a standalone Venomcrawler kit...

And that unsolved rumor engine reminds me a lot of the Master of Possessions staff from Shadowspear, wouldn't be surprised if that was from the standalone sculpt version of the character and they just haven't got around to releasing it yet.

Ohmans composite seems to fit together nicely too.

The Master of Possessions is a standalone character. The fact that they haven't just put this into a clampack is bizarre.

To get you to by the SC if you want him.

They'll probably get a separate release when the Combat Patrol's out, assuming he's not included in it.

Well, that strategy definitely worked on me

Hope: Defiler
Expectation: Chaos Knight

It is?? I thought it shared the sprue with the big Possessed guys, my bad.

Oldest unsolved is from this years WH+ AoS mini - probably a Chaos Sorcerer

Chaos Terminator I suppose

And lo, the oldest unsolved Rumour Engine turns out to be a... one-off WH+ exclusive.

How anticlimactic.

E-bay here we go I guess ...?

Am I imagining things, or does it look like a Saturnine termie?

Looks like a regular old bloated-up-for-no-good-reason CSM hero.

Tho there might be an alternate universe somehwre where life is good and this is Perturabo

Bloated from chaos, obviously. It’s a known side effect.


Warp dust? Not even once

Shoulders extending way too far above his head for standard marine plate. Also, people reckon it's this guy. It fits, there's a silhouette of the chainfist in the vid.

That's actually a good call, as GW DO seem to be, currently, trying to turn every pice of classic Mark Gibbons into a miniature!

Did he sacrifice his torso to the Chaos Gods?
