But I’m not sure we’ve had a Rumour Engine from something already sneak previewed?

We have. Not digging it up, but we most certainly have had Rumor Engines from things in the "Coming This Year" videos.

We kinda did with the Arbite floaty-drone, it was engined after the Arbites were sneak-previewed, although it was not the exact same model. And that weird HH assassin dude got his second rumour engine picture on 12/27 and the video on 12/29; there seems to be no definite rule.

Just a base with a smoke grenade?
Looks like new Alpha Legion confirmed!
Smoke and mirrors.

There's a purple ork on that base too, but he's just too good at sneaking

That seems a good call. Spesh if we’re getting plastic Kommandos.

We already have plastic Kommandos.

Well, it does look like a stikkbomb so I'm thinking maybe it's something for Boarding Parties?

We do have another orky-looking gas grenade + hand in the unsolved pics already. Snikrot-grots maybe?

Imagine if we got unique grot models for snikrot, but not for Zodgrod

There is already a sneak grot in the kommando kit, and Ghaz came with Makari. Would be cool if more ork characters came with grits as well. Mad Dok, Zag, and Zogwort could use plastic updates with grot attaches

Something Necromunda I reckon.

Goblin spider shaman?

Far too well made for Gobbo.

But I think it probably is something AoS now, because it looks Artisan, rather than cobbled together or manufactured.

I saw spider legs, jumped to gobbos.

But could that be a khorne symbol?

I'd lean more towards something Death-y.

That looks like a khorne icon though I can’t imagine it’s held by something other than a wizard, which makes no sense

Another Khorne priest... Yay.

Could it be something for the Ossiarch Bonereapers? Not too familiar with them so not sure if it doesn't fit well

Isn't there a Warcry spider faction? Looks like it would fit with them, possibly a special character for that faction.

Shadow Elves?

It looks familiar, like its a re-imagining of something from an old-school metal sculpt

That skull looks like it's been painted to show it's been carved rather than being an actual skull.

Might be a "back pole" type thingy like what the skullreapers have.

I also get a diffuse old-school Dark Elves vibe from it, it feels like something we've seen before, on a banner or maybe a staff or something.

The skull is carved, but the vanes behind it seem to be made of bone.

Malerion crew?

Getting Khainite vibes from this one.. The old metal Morathi mini had a horned skull-tipped staff as well.

First image in the gallery for artwork :

The daemon horns on the skull suggest something chaos. Dont think I ever saw those kind of horns on any other faction.

Edit: ok, some wicked elves also have those kind of horns.

These spikes had definite Elven look to them, though, ellipsoid curves instead of bent Khornate horns, though.

Then there is the fact we already have new Morathi, so...

Some of the Old Warhammer Online concept art for Dark Elves has very similar designs, but bot quite exactly the same.

I would say it looks a lot like Dark Elves to me, so whatever the AoS thing for that is?

It almost looks like a Khornate symbol on the reverse of the skull. And they are due a new book soon, I think.

It's also structurally similar to this daughters of Khaine rune:



Four downwards, four sidewards, horned skull on top. But of course much more brutal in material - maybe some sort of Khaine-related beastmasters or sth. like that.

Probably yet another Daughters warband..

Boring!

My mind jumped straight to Karloth Valois and won’t budge. What better time for a new Zombie Uprising than in the middle of a civil war triggered by the Cicatrix opening?
