**Oguhmek**

That would be awesome.

**Theophony**

Slaanesh follower forgot his safe word

**Irbis**

I like how people pollute this thread spamming unfunny squig nonsense contributing nothing but when actual squig model solves good 3+ pictures (especially the jaw, dual claws, and back banner) the thread is silent. Too afraid of actually saying something on topic and useful?

**Oguhmek**

Well, we haven't actually seen the model yet, have we? Just an artwork.

No such thing.

Stop being a Downersquig, Irbis.

**Laughing Man**

Maybe he just hasn't had his coffeesquig yet.

**Jadenim**

Low blood sugar? Want a cookiesquig?

**Theophony**

Stop or he’ll pull out his squighair piece in frustration

**Kanluwen**

Put them on ignore and move on.

Additionally, yes harhar squig jokes. There comes a point where they cease being funny or relevant though and just become memebaiting. You're at the latter point now.

You mean squigbaiting

**MajorWesJanson**

Compared to some of the other overused meme and complaints taking over threads, squig are harmless. And despite mostly being joke guesses, squig forms has a better success rate of being right than fimir or goblin sky pirates so far.

Why must you be so anti-fun? Literally everyone here bar you and Irbis are in the right spirit, and having fun. Why must you always be the perennial stick-in-the-mud?

**Alpharius**

...especially as more often than not, the Rumor Engine pics and hints are so purposefully vague and indicative or nothing anyone can guess, you might as well just guess.

And if you're going to guess, guessing 'Squig' is 100% appropriate!

**GaroRobe**

I still can't get over how the wheel was actually part of a squig. Like, I thought it was just a meme, but it came true, so...

And I really thought you’d go with squig-in-the-mud there..

For those unaware?
Daedalosus from Blackstone Fortress' Combat Arena and Escalation boxes was added to the new AdMech book as a generic profile called "Technoarchaeologist". Since the model comes on a shared sprue with the other heroes from those boxes they'll have to release a generic set.

Those look like dwarf proportions to me, not even GW messes up human leg anatomy that badly...

I'm mad because I didn't think of that first.

Let's be honest though... if it was crab related you'd be all on board with it wouldn't ya mate?

Why wouldn't they announce it alongside the Codex, then?

because then you wouldn't have to buy another book alongside that new model?

**Bonde**

I am enjoying the squigposting

Also some of the guesses were actually correct!

It's in the codex now, there's no model generally available.

I mean, you've got me in a pinch...

Point was that if people are so upset about Irbis getting upset about things, just put them on ignore and move on. Constantly replying does nothing to help the situation in any way, shape, or form.

**MobileSuitRandom**

Throne squig for AoS, or possibly 40k skull squig?

Might be something FEC, too.

**Shadow Walker**

Some ghoulish hero?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Undead Squig Throne.

Because come on. You complain about Squig jokes, the day before the next goes up? What did you think was gonna happen

I’m genuinely thinking expansion for Cursed City, likely the next Big Bad of it.

**H.B.M.C.**

Cursed whatnow?

**warl0rdb0b**

I'm gonna go with either Felsh Eaters, or outside chance it's one of the Umbraneth

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

Looks like Flesh Eater court or whatever they are callled, my least fave of what were the Vampire clans.

Saying that, more Undead is always good mind, also might be a good model for a Blood Bowl conversion.

Also anything new for Cursed City would interest me even the Ghoul folks.

**lord_blackfang**

FEC or Soulblight wave 2 I guess (possibly sculpts relagated from CC)
