Wonder if the T will be for Tomorrow. If they did a single letter every day between now and next Friday it would spell out tomorrow and be ready to show of next Saturday for preorders.

Today’s rumour engine letter is H

**GaroRobe**

We've seen the bottle on the left before, so I guess that'll solve two rumor engines when it's revealed.

So far, "TH" has been revealed.

I'm still saying it's gonna say "The Cruel Boys" or whatever the faction is

**NAVARRO**

Why Im I getting the vibes of gnoblars and Ogres??

Same here. The angular hook from one of the previous pics is also very ogrish. Well, even if these are new goblinoids, it's cool that they seem to have a kind of unified Destruction aesthetics with Gnoblars & Ogres etc.

**lord_blackfang**

It's certainly someone with a hoarding problem

Maybe it's a Wargamer faction

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Top right, I can only see a Blood Bowl ball.

Makes sense! All those paint bottles + little bags with bits & basing material, finally some proper Wargamer representation within WH

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Abducting hoomans to convert?

It talks about locations, so I think it’s spelling a place in Ghur rather than the faction name. Plus there’s probably only 7 letters left, seeing as the countdown in the AoS site is counting down til next Saturday. There’s a place in Ghur called the Drench which fits letter-wise and might be swampy/boggy.

The cruel boys is such a bad name. And its not very AOS

**lord_blackfang**

Also sounds a bit like a real world faction of swamp obsessed degenerates.

If it’s even true. Otherwise it does sound a bit daft. And not especially copyrightable.

It’s a terrible name. Even if GW went with it I expect they would spell it like “Da Krule Boyz” or something.

**ImAGeek**

Yeah I think it will be ‘Krool Boyz’ or something, if the rumour is right.

**lord_blackfang**

So, a still from one of the Warhammer+ show teasers...

**streetsamurai**

That might be a cruel boy. Good catch

**NAVARRO**

Disappointing if it his.

**lord_blackfang**

Let's hope there's more to them than malnourished orcs with the usual orc cobbled together gear and candelabrum hats.

**GaroRobe**

Right after that frame of the Greenskin getting smacked, you see one using a spear that's very, very close to this one right here. (Also, there's an older Rumor engine pic that is somewhat close)

The new greenskins are looking set to solve atleast 5 or 6 old rumour engines but it could end up being even more. Won't be much fantasy stuff left at all when the new starter is revealed in full I reckon.

You mean...

Spoiler:

**Carlovonsexron**

You know it wouldn't take a ton of effort (just a ton of skill

) to convert the first king krool into the portly Fimir king our hobby needs.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Well...

Today's letter is "O", so Thondia is looking more and more plausible...
