Sadly they are no longer sold.

You're likely thinking of the Grenadiers, who do have a Legends datasheet.

Engineers and their attached Mole Launcher are still sold.

Nope. It's a box full of sandbags, grenades, and a molotov.

Although I will throw out what will likely be an unpopular guess:
Infantry Squad rework, with a new "one use only" missile launcher doohicky.

You think thats a Ham? See I interpreted that as being the Turkeys body, and the leg being the er... turkey leg.

I can see the argument for the sandbags and the molotov... but thats 100% a pie.

It absolutely does look like a pie, but they wouldn't put a pie on a model for 40k.

For the record, the reason I think this is tied to a Combat Engineers unit along with those 2 Rumor Engines is that the most recent Cadian novels have been weirdly specific about Combat Engineers. There's also been a lot of art of Cadian Snipers, despite no longer being buildable outside of the Kasrkin box, which would fit with a Pioneer/Combat Engineer unit if they chose to do so.

I don't know on what table you're rolling these arguments up, but that's got to be at least

We literally have two Ratling Sniper models in BSF, neither has a pie. One does have a fridge though.

They sometimes use the rumour engine to show commemorative / special edition stuff, you know. I could see it being a hint of the Christmas miniature.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking too - christmas/holiday miniature. Could be Da Red Gobbo in his sleigh pulled by a team of squigs led by Rude-olf the red-nosed squig, bringing grenades, turkey, wine, and pies to all the good little grots for the holidays.

Thats clearly a pie and a turkey amid some grenades.. has to be a Christmas mini base. Hoping for a Votann Bugman model myself..

I just think that too many people are sticking to the goofy answer, while ignoring that we saw a lot of sandbags as part of the Cadian releases and that it's a box full of sandbags, grenades, and a canteen/bottle.

Which is it more likely to be:
-A Pie, somehow painted exactly like the sandbags surrounding it
-A sandbag with a hole poorly sculpted into the fabric
?

It's far more likely that it's a pie and a turkey than the idea that it just happens to be a sandbag that coincidentally has the characteristics of a pie including the round shape, a clear crust and hole a hole right in the middle, that's placed right next to another sandbag and 2 bottles that coincidentally happen to look just like a turkey.

Or it's sandbags.

 Kanluwen wrote:

Seriously? You completely ignore the point being made just to keep repeating "Sandbags!"?

Kan can't accept that a company that released thse models could be as goofy as to put a pie on a base

Holiday nothing. It wouldn't be the first time ratling/halfling models show up with food.

It even has (non-crap versions of) design elements from the current ratling snipers, particularly the bipod and scope.

If people are going to completely ignore the point being made just to keep repeating "pie", "turkey", or "ham" why not?

Because back when the rumor engine first dropped, I did talk about how the bit that people kept saying was a "turkey" looked just to be a sandbag laying flat with another sandbag wedged in next to it. The paint strokes seem to be very similar to the actual sandbags sitting out next to the box.

My post was addressing your point. You ignored it just to repeat "It's sandbags!" again. You asked if it was more likely to be sandbags, or a pie that just happens to be coloured similarly to sandbags.

Between these two options:
1. It looks like a pie and turkey because it's a pie and turkey
2. It's a sandbag that coincidentally has the characteristics of a pie including the round shape, a clear crust and hole a hole right in the middle, that just happens to be placed right next to another sandbag and 2 bottles that just coincidentally also make up the shape of a turkey (your claim)

That the first option is the most likely. The second would be quite a big contrivance.

It clearly resembles a pie and turkey. You've even acknowledged that yourself yet for some reason think that's some far more wild idea than it being 2 sandbags and 2 bottles that just happen to have all the expected characteristics and be coincidentally arranged to look like a pie and turkey.

Claiming that the designers accidentally arranged them to make something that just resembles a pie and turkey and no one realized is pretty absurd.

I feel in this debate we have brushed over the fact someone tried to claim shepherd's pie was the best pie. When it is in fact a casserole.

Everyone knows the best pie is actually some warm apple pie (homemade, not mcdonalds)

As if any anglosaxon pies could even be in the top half of pies.

Corned beef and potato is the best pie.


Anyway, this current rumour engine looks proper familiar but I don't remember where I've seen those short little scopes before.

It's not covered in pastry.

I'm eating shepherds pie right now, have to agree - this is casserole. No pie crust or pastry shell, ergo not a pie

Look there are certain things in the world that don't make sense

Shepherds pie is not a casserole, its Shepherds Pie

Just the same as how many Shepherds Pies have beef in them instead of mutton. Since everyone calls a Cottage Pie a Shepherds Pie (even though we all know its the wrong name).

The shepherds pie I just ate was made with pork *shrug*

Good god. Someone inform the King, London Tower needs to be reopened immediately for this man and his absolutely debased opinion.

That's what I'd bloody well like to know! An utterly abominable thought. I need a very strong cup of tea, right this very second just to deal with the knowledge someone believes this. I feel I may faint.

It most certainly is covered in pastry. Lots of it in fact.

Yes, like these absolute loons who think shepherds pies are casseroles!

Thank you! A voice of reason in this choir of lunacy.

This confused the hell out of me as a kid. I knew shepherds meant sheep, yet none of the shepherds pies I ever ate contained it. Very frustrating for a small boy to try and wrap his head around.

chaos0xomega wrote:The shepherds pie I just ate was made with pork *shrug*

That was not a shepherds pie.

This thread got very funny overnight, and not just because of Kan ignoring reality (again). I had never thought of the difference between Sheppard's and Cottage Pie.

I think what I've been having for years is Cottage Pie called Sheppard's Pie, which is disappointing as my dad is English and should know better.
