This would seem to me to be the first Advent picture that supports the Reddit list. The Reddit list was the first place to mention Rangers on bikes, and this clearly isn't an aspect, guardian or psyker on a bike. The almost leather effect and bootstrap don't really fit the current aesthetics of those 3 infantry unit types, but would fit with Rangers somewhat.

Yeah, that boot is clearly no guardian, warlock or aspect, so...

So it should be a text rumour next, and then hopefully swing towards Chaos? Man, I am keen for this box reveal.

There was a separate thread that had way more detailed Eldar information.

I’m a regular on B&C and while I can’t say for sure it didn’t exist, I don’t remember anything apart from the this year thread and the next year thread over there.

ImAGeek is right, & Kanluwen is conflating sources. The poster of the reliable leaks did not do a thread on Eldar. There were a flurry of "leaks" around the same time but there was absolutely not an Eldar dump from the same poster that provided us with the roadmap. Same source elsewhere, maybe, but not the same poster on B&C.

This entire iteration of the Rumor Engine is basically just that!

I might be conflating the Eldar thread with another title(it might have been Craftworlds Updates?), but there was a more detailed bit by "Joe" on the Eldar stuff! It didn't have anywhere near the same amount of traffic as the big roadmap dump though...and it was still kinda vague.

I'm not crazy!

Joe is a different poster to the chap who posted both of the this year/next year roadmap rumours (Dosjetka). He doesn't have a track record/insight/connections with a source, just posts stuff he come across

Yep. Really the only two things that were in the 2nd ed Codex Imperialis that are left to mine are Exodites (and Corsairs a bit I guess) and Squats, and we're supposedly getting something from the latter.

There are still Rogue Traders, Chaos Eldar, Zoats, and Inquisition too...

**GaroRobe**

The hopeful part of me wants this release to be like the Lumineth.

An army box with only a few units, followed by a few more units dropping. Then months later, the next wave.

But we all know that's not gonna happen

**Gadzilla666**

So, tomorrow should be CSM again, right? Gimme some more Chosen. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Or like Orks or Templars, who got an army box, then later a release of more models.

Days 5 and 10 were text, so day 15 may well be text again.

**SamusDrake**

According to certain rumours, apparently Craftworlds, Harlequins & Ynnari are all going in the same Codex for 9th edition. Does anyone reckon that will happen?

An Abba song about a Chaos Marine...now theres a thought!

I'm finding it funny, just about. It is starting to get a little annoying however.

I literally will sing abba songs if they finally show off the rumored LatD / R&H.
And probably shovel my way out if they are fully functional without csm

Some prophets and holy men claim the Advent Engine is a warp energy syphon. Others insist it’s just a cardboard box with “Future” scrawled on it, and a red button drawn with a felt-tip pen. Whatever the truth, it’s sent us another stimulating glimpse into the hereafter.

Take a second look into the eye of the storm and then go to the extravagant Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages to add your voice to the cacophony about what you’ve just seen.

The Advent Engine is bringing us glimpses of the future right up until Christmas. Catch up on all of these… concerning reveals right here.

**Khahandran**

Makes me think of the Young King personally.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Wordy bits are Avatar summoning.

**xttz**

So previews of Eldar vs Chaos box until the other half of the quote on day 20, then Avatar rumour pics 21-24th?

Box unveil on Xmas day like they did for Hedonites and Piety & Pain last year, Avatar unveil New Years Day.

You know nothing from last years' Advent Engine got unveilved on Christmas, right?

**Pilum**

Maybe not wha-mu, but I don't think that James Workshop tease about a plastic aspect for Christmas is completely frivolous. Whether it's any of THESE images remains open of course.

**Wha-Mu-077**

This idea came to me tonight while browsing the Eldar range and thinking what matches what.
What if the Plastic Aspect Warriors are actually Fire Dragons, and what we thought was a Missile Launcher, is actually the Exarch's redesigned Firepike?

**ImAGeek**

It would be very bad design if they redesigned one weapon to look exactly like another.

Which is exactly why i can see GW going for it.

GW has done something like that a grand total of zero times, so no it's a reaper launcher or possibly, but less likely, a missile launcher.

Today's quote sure sounds like something related to the Avatar/young king but it could potentially also be Ynnari if considering Ynnead as an Eldar Phoenix rising from the ashes.

While I do enjoy the ranger jet bikes I would not want to trade them for one fewer upgraded aspect warrior type.

The emphasis on extravagent on the Community site makes me think there may be some Slaaneshi stuff coming along.

**Knight**

I don't know why Phoenix would need to plunge into fire, rather than become the fire. Furthermore, the second part has emphasis on destruction, I'd imagine rebirth would be emphasized as the central theme. I feel the young king - Avatar makes more sense.

I want to believe.
