"Your society's broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No, lets blame the people with no power and no money and those immigrants who don't even have the vote. Yea, it must be their fething fault." - Iain M Banks

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

I have but one grievance, and that is that the Rumour Engine pictures don't have standardized file names. If they could all be named RumourEngine9Aug or such, with no extraneous random letters or underscores, that would be wonderful.
It's most likely a Space Marine backpack component, or perhaps a CSM shoulder extender.
Peregrine - If you like the army buy it, and don't worry about what one random person on the internet thinks.

This could be for them, as RG would need to muster the imperial guard/Astra whatever to fight the chaos onslaught. New plastics are direly needed there too.
Could it be Legion of the damned? They're not in the new SM codex so maybe a stand alone codex for them and that's their logo?

Their in there.
Legion of the Damned
– An overview of the Legion of the Damned;
– A datasheet for Legion of the Damned miniatures.
Blood Bowl Plastic Elves on the way? This is a shoulder pad I reckon.

The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox
Even compared to normal that picture is shockingly unhelpful. I thought about listing off everything in GW/FW that can include spikes but it basically amounts to 1/3-1/2 of their products.
So idk... chaos blood bowl models. There, that's at least the intersection of two spiky things.
