**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Yep. Not enough 'stuff' for 40k's usual aesthetic.

**Chief**

That looks like steamhead duardin to me. I dont think its admech. looks like a bit for a larger vehicle.

**terry**

either duradin or something 30k/40k. But combine this with the very first rumor enigine post, its most likely part of duradin machine

**angelofvengeance**

I think it's 40k(maybe a scenery piece?). Doesn't look particularly fantasy-ish.

I think it's safe to say that this is a 40K bit.

Hammerlock pistol with a low ejection port with combi grav on top.

Soooo.... Cypher.

any new news on this?

I am going nuts about this darn clue....

Guess we are just leaving this behind (GW)? Moving onto the next, and now another bit hint? @#$%^&*

**Gamgee**

Duradin or Demiurg.

It looks too high tech to be Fantasy. If it's got to be part of a Space Marine Triumvirate then no idea.

On second thought. Looking at some steampunk hatches I think it's Duradin.

**guru**

photoshopped

It's a door!!! xD

**unmercifulconker**

Yoooo, the new Elder Scrolls Online trailer got me hyped for some Steamhead! DAT GOLEM!

Show me whats behind door number cog!

**nudibranch**

That is a nice door.

Had a look at GWs site and it seems everyone has access to a librarian.

So my guess is it's another pointless special character or perhaps a librarian kit similar to the captain kit which would also be pointless...

Except, y'know, if you happen to like the character or model and appreciate multiple choices when picking models for your army.

You pretty much point out the problem, you either like the special character or you don't. Our club doesn't play with SC because they sort of ruin the game because they are usually pretty unbalanced.

So if you had the choice between a new kit for an army or 2 special characters for that army. A new kit is something everyone can use, special characters not so much.
Basically what I'm saying is that I don't like GW wasting time making SC when they could use the same time to make kits for armies instead.

Nice looking stuff sells and no-one cares about your local clubs' house rules. Most people can figure out how to use a SC model for a generic character as well. I personally don't like using SC, but I enjoy the painting models and still manage to use them in my own games as generic/my own characters. Given that GK have no plastic HQ, it's far from pointless.

**Starfarer**

It almost looks like a piece from a bipedal walking dwarven steam tank.

Was that oddly specific?

**casvalremdeikun**

My guess is it is a door from a piece of terrain.

**Gamgee**

I would laugh so hard it if was the probably fake rumor of Robut Guiliman in a walker thing.

**Crimson**

That last one is probably something for the Steamhead Duardin; seems quite steampunky to me.

Oh, and that psychic hood is definitely for a Grey Knight (or an Inquisitor wearing a GK style armour.) Normal terminator armours don't look like that. Terminator librarian's psychic hood is not visible from behind.

**Valhallan_Ice_Warrior**

I think it's something imperial for 40k. The piston thingys on the door remind me of Knight leg pistons.

**Mr_Rose**

That's standard boat/submarine style door closure gear there. Not sure why the activation gear is so offset from the pivot though?
Maybe the crew are quite short…

**Gamgee**

You know I was going to say the same thing. It looks like a submarine door hatch. There is also that unresolved fish hook rumor. THat or a heavily stylized 40k airlock, but I think the submarine door looks more likely.

You don't suppose we'll see Duradin and some sort of fishmen right? Or aquatic themed Dwarves? Which... is way cooler sounding now that I think about it and a natural fit for them with the whole underground tunnels thing.

Dwarves.

I think you mean

Spoiler:

**BrotherGecko**

It is definitely a door of some kind.

....plastic thunderhawk confirmed!!

**Elbows**

I normally don't get excited about rumors, but it's pretty obvious that's a hatch from a plastic Imperator Titan.

Are you joking or serious? I can't tell. Guessing joking.

Good guess!

Also, there are no Dwarves in AoS!

**MajorWesJanson**

Gears do not work that way! Good night!

Edit: just notice that that full door pic is a shop.

Were there any Dwarves in WFB??

The image is official fromGW just not the photoshopped one above.

**Fayric**

My guess would be a mechanically pivoting turret or sponsons on a duardin steam tank.
The whole thing looks plesantly robust and symetricaly reinforced.

Would be cool though if it was a clocktower scenery piece to manifest the rule of order (mechanism) and a new era (of sigmar) now that the stormcast start to reclaim a piece of the universe.

No Dwarfs either!

In either one!

All kidding aside, IF the Duardin (?) are any good, that might be what finally gets me into AoS.

**EnTyme**

It's definitely a door, but does anyone else think it looks like it's made from the lower-quality plastic GW uses for terrain?

**Thargrim**

I kind of liked the rumored idea of airborne dwarfs living in the sky in bioshock steampunk columbia esque types cities. With AoS they can really do anything with the new steamhead duardin faction, I hope they don't waste the opportunity.

**Baron Klatz**

Same here, Thargrim.

Was that "boat-hook" from earlier ever revealed?

Could tie-in to the Steamhead putting the ship in airship.
