Kind of, but a nail looks to be going through it.

I suspect that’s just the back bit of the wood?

Eh, for about half the factions in AOS nailing your shoes to your feet seems like something they'd be down with

I was thinking Bonesplittas first but I don't think they use nails. Also looks a bit small for a gargant? Probably for an ogre.

I dont think anyone would make a stilt out of a rock stalactite and then drive a nail thorough the foot to keep it in place.

The stone trolls, uh, I mean rockgut troggoths, already have a very similar fitting on a club with the same crossed rugged leather straps.

Yeah, i think Trolls or reimagined Trolls is the most likely, that would also be a good explanation for some more weird bits and bobs, the rivertrolls of old had all sorts of rubbish and trinkets on them.

I would love to see some Chaos Trolls, though I don't get that vibe from these rumor engine pics.

All your base.

Looks like a Saturnalia turkey, cooked with the typical accoutrements of frag grenades, molotov cocktails, and pie. The sandbags set up around the firepit are an important part of the tradition, allowing the shrapnel to be captured and kept as good-luck charms.

This will be a Christmas tie-in.

I think we'll be seeing some more Death Korps models soon.

Combat Engineers were mysteriously absent from the FW drop, and the DKoK transfer sheet has minefield warning signs.

Would it be too on the nose if it was the xmas mini for this year?

Death Chefs of Krieg

Plastic ratlings, we all know they are hobbits really.

Ratling Snipers embracing the fantasy halfing/hobbit stereotypes?

Or Genestealer Cultists smuggling weapons in Christmas food crates

Ratling Sniper with Tactical Turkey

Glad I'm not the only one seeing a turkey

They already do a bit, one is literally eating an apple. Most guardsmen have probably never even heard of an apple!

Wine, pie and turkey.

Xmas diorama is a good guess, otherwise ratlings. Those are the only options, really.

It's either Ratlings, or the Middle-earth Hobbits are about to get a serious boost to their killing power.

That moment when Sauron steps forward and hears "click".. priceless

One ring to rule them all, and in the Darkness, a Sniper

Unless Ratlings are going to 32 or 40mm, I don't think this is them. It looks like part of an objective marker or a token.

It's interesting how many sandbags are there.

Could be part of a Ratling Kill Team.

Two words for you.

Stumper.

Muckstart.

I think it may be part of a large diorama or scenic base together with that other sandbaggy picture we had some weeks ago. Also, either Christmas thingy or Ratlings, not much else would make sense with IG stuff + pie.

I don't know what to make of the "pie", but I do not think it is a delicious dessert.

Might be that there's an incoming Combat Engineers kit, with an ability to "reinforce" scenery to provide some bonuses when IG occupy it.

There’s definitely a Turkey and wine bottle there. I’m betting it’s a pie as well so it’s likely a holiday diorama

The "turkey" is sandbags in the crate.

I reckon that's the other side to this:


And ratling picnic christmas model certainly seems a good guess.

Tyranids are coming for your holiday meal! Stand fast loyal imperial citizens! The only thing between them and that pie is you and your lasgun. Hold the line!

Maybe some Ratling hero mini diorama. Magogg is long dead at the time of 4th Tyrannic Wars but there could be some other, now famous, one.
