Looks like the first toolbox I ever had!

Agree the hand looks like it's been cut out, the left side near the handle looks an odd shape but it has a sharp outline.

Either Ad Mech or Votann would be good.

I’d say Votann by the simple virtue of it being a toolbox. The Adeptus Mechanicus doesn’t do toolboxes; not when they can just graft on a dozen more mechadendrites.

Sounds crazy to walk around with a toolbox when you instead could replace your arm with a huge drill or whatever tool you prefer.

Almost certainly Votann. Looks like it'll be a Brokhyr mini, hopefully some heavy artillery piece. Maybe an updated Thunderfire or Quadd. Presumably with a funky new name.

They may not do them, but the Xenarites would definitely "liberate" xenotech toolboxes.

There are Imperial toolboxes in various terrain sets, so low-level servitors or artisans using toolboxes is not out of the question.

Yeah but there are tool boxes on Votann main kits - the Pioneer bikes and the Sagitaurs. But its something about the shape that made me immediately think its Votann, plus there are the 3 vent lines in the side which are in the Votann range. Could be wrong - I have no admech or imperials so could be something for them but it looks really familiar to me as Votann.

I agree LoV is more likely, just highlighting that Imperials do use toolboxes and not just grafted tools.

Yeah it’s almost definitely LoT. That being said, there are definitely imperium terrain sets that include little tool box kits

This one is solved by the new Blood Angels:

The only weathering seems to be limited to the servoskull drill.

The Blood Drop is right there in the RE pic, just not complete.

Tricksy

I was close in that it is an Apothecary at least

The scale is perfect for a Narthecium tho, and even the two ridges behind the drill are on Nartheciums.

HH command squad, final answer.

Oooh. That’s a lovely basket full of skulls.

Don't you just hate it that the fish trap is always clogged up with skulls? Fishing in Warhammer ain't easy.

Possibly the most GW rumour engine pic of recent times?

Another Soulblight named hero

all of those skulls feel oddly melted. the one on top is melded to the cage, in particular. makes me think this is some kind of resin model, or something with fewer parts like an Underworlds kit. there's what look like two claws holding the cage on the top left, so my guess is for something AOS or TOW, and most likely a chaos or death sort of thing

The bonereapers don’t use metal exactly, it’s too neat and symmetrical for shaven, goblin, or undead. Elves don’t do skulls much and the ironwork is too chunky for them. So humans/CoS. Or chaos.


Wild ass guess: new order-aligned necromancer.

Some CoS morbid cult could be using those?

CoS wouldn't explain the claw in the corner, so that would leave chaos

It's not too neat for vampires, tho?

Might be just artifact of difficulty of making plastic mould with details on sides - no matter how you orient hexagonal cage, 4 out of 6 sides will be at angle to the mould making details there flat-ish. Though I guess could also be fault of resin, these bars are far too thin and delicate detail for resin (unlike plastic) so the sculptor would need to strenghten them by clipping them into skulls...

Its probably to small to be claws.
Looks like a piece of cloth or skin fastened at the back with, what I guess two rings at the top and around the metal at the bottom.

The industrial nature of the metal cage and the sinister content make me think Chaos Dwarfs, right? Right!

I'm suddenly reminded of that engine from a while back that looked like new flagellants.

Found it on 4chan.

Really? Which one?

Vague-posting with a link is really not that helpful.

It is explained in the article, you just need to click on it

they don't reference the rumour engine in the article at all. are you talking about the preview at the top? because that wasn't an RE. that was part of a series of teasers that MESBG has been doing all year, with each teaser coming from the previous reveal
