Something Necromunda I reckon.

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?

That would be awesome, i now want it to be true.

That’s…..not unfeasible.

But I’d argue the best time is “just after the fighting is done, you have maximum corpses and their authority is at their most tenuous, because to pre-empt might mean it becomes Everyone Vs Your Zombies”?

As much as I dearly want a new Karloth & plastic Plague Zombies, I keep seeing Khaine/Khorne in that design...

Unfortunately Necromundan zombies are the infected living rather than raised undead so waiting until the bodies hit the floor doesn’t actually help Valois.

Pat Mills lied to me! Where am I going to get my giant revivified rat mummy now?

That was crazy Ratskin shaman hoodoo, so you'll have to wait until that particular brand of heresy gets re-imagined!

So Snikrot clears the smoky granade and Khorne girl the latest skull one. What else?

Feet on head cleared from last year, and the cherry blossom.

Thanks!

Is Khorne Girl's staff, at 5 days, the shortest lived Rumour Engine image ever?

The claw from the Warcry Khorne guy was from 24th January and the reveal was on 27th.

I don't think so, the shortest has been like 10 hours if i remember correctly

I can't find definite proof of that one, but there has been a Lumineth one that was revealed within 5 days, and one that was revealed within 3 days.

Don't remember which one but we had a rumour engine before where the model was already revealed before it was posted. If I remeber correctly that was just a mistake and we got another one as replacement but still funny.

Record is the engine stack for the Big Knight, as I’m sure that was teased just the day before?

If it's the same one, I remember a bit for the upcoming update to the Mega Gargant kit was posted, but it was a bit that was already in the then existing kit, rather than one of the new bits

Yep, this terrain piece: https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/rumour-engines.html#2018-03-27
Revealed a day before the rumour engine pic

It's not even the winner, that goes to this Slaaneshi model, which got revealed two weeks before the engine picture https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/rumour-engines.html#2020-12-05

Stunty for Blood Bowl?

Maybe evil Stunty for Blood Bowl?

Very likely Blood Bowl, maybe a Votann special character, one of their psykers?

Thinking Votann Grimnyr special character .

I want to say Votann if only because I don't they've ever done a Rumour Engine for Blood Bowl that I can recall.

Checking Warboss Kurgan’s page, there’s been at least one.

Technically, the Blood Bowl stuff was its own thing. They did a "rumor engine" tease at the end of each article showcasing a bunch of the various Star Players early on.

Mite b Necromunda Squats, they have gloves exactly like that

Gak detail and very soft lines suggest resin, so yeah, might be BB or Necromunda mini, especially with that painting style.

Though I'd guess 30K librarian-ish character or something, seeing all psychic SM recently had such gloves...

Pretty confident in saying that is for Necromunda Squats. The glove is very similar and so is the whole sleeve. Looks like that rubbery hazmat suit style thing they have on their upper arms.

Santa Claus!

I think you are right. Its a pretty solid match.

Looking very bottom left? Glove seems to have a deal to the sleeve. So yeah. Necromunda Squats or Leagues.
