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

If you can't be bothered to give useful - or, in this case, accurate - context for what you're posting, maybe don't bother chucking random links/videos into threads.

It's generally the case in this thread that if someone says a RE image has been solved, that they post the one that they think is solved.

Yeah, not a RE from a name, still a RE but for the Middle Earth.

i don't think it counts. it's not something you would see if you aren't following ME news, and these were never posted in the thread before, so it's not like someone following here would have seen much of them— again, unless they are also seeking out the ME thread

First one was shared

I have no problem with mods removing it then. Will not post ME ones here in the future.

Something Mechanic(um)al

Mecanicum version of a hot glue gun.

i wanna say this is another votann thing, but that may be a bit of a leap. could be for the same model, tho

Looks paler coloured, similar to the other robotic bits we've seen? Which I think we're guessing are now Thousand Son/Vashtorr robots for 40K?
Perhaps some kind of Datasmith to accompany them~?

The other bits like the toilet roll Skull and Fortress of Redemption projector look like they have dark red and black on them.

I think not on account of the spikey bits. That's definitely more of an admech thing. But not sure what exactly.. unless admech are finally getting a new KT in the future.

felt too clean for admech, but yeah, the spikes are why i was hesitating

doesn't feel connected to the foot and claw. colors are much too different

Did a quick dig, practically every 40k imperial servo arm has that spikey bit, interestingly not the case for 30k.

Techmarines also have the spikey servo arm so I suppose not necessarily admech..

One of the other (than Van Saar) Necromunda big six gang's specialist sets. Goliath?

Spoiler:

That is definetly the inferno pistol surrogate on a dark/new mechanicum machinator array
I'd bet monies on it.

Spoiler:

The top image looks to be the rear three quarters of a robot ankle - the large spike being a cock-fighting paralell where the owners strap metal spikes on their animals in the same manner.

So a new melee focus robot unit to go with the teased Mars campain announcement.

Doesn't have the feel of a black widow or an iron angel - they have a ranged weapon focus.
Possibly a heresy version of the 40k chickenwalker?
The ironstrider engine is supposed to have been perfected around M33 but theres plenty of pre-completion time for some magos to 'solve' the power supply issue with energy from the warp or just as a daemon host form.

Recent white dwarfs have apparently been hinting at Magnus unleashing a secret cache of automatons/robots against Vashtorr's Wyrmwood.

There's definitely two coloured banding inset in that robot leg that wouldn't look out of place on a Thousand Son's crest.

Now youve pointed that out - have a look at the armour panel on what i presume to be the 'shin'. On the portion which extends rearwards (toward the spike), there's an eye painted on isn't there?

And now im looking for chaos-ness, is that a bit of material corruption to the right of it?

This week's thing:

I'm going to say Votann but more from a gut feeling/hopium.. Perhaps Ad Mech or necromunda?

Sneak peek of the new GW license agreement with Star Wars:

Antennae of some kind I reckon.

Could also be upside down. The bottom looks like the kind of ribbed cable we see on a lot of minis.

Yeah, Ad Mech models often have similar doodads hanging down. Seems most likely.

That there is what we call a tricky one.

Doesn't look super Imperial but can't say it looks particularly Votanny either.

Necromunda is always a curveball so let's go with that.

If it’s Votann it’s going to be another living ancestor guy, maybe some kind of specialist.

Speaking of, has very similar design to the attachment for one of the hanging doodads on this Tech-priest:

Top of some techno staff or sensor? Now, is it AdMech, Mechanicum, Votann, Munda?

Looks Votann to me, and I feel like they're prone to things that look like tech but have no clear function.

Did the new Warhammer+ models resolve any o/s Rumour Engine images?

Nope. Which is kinda crazy if you think about it.

Meanwhile, that unsolved spider-ish skull will soon hit 2 year mark of its posting. GW is really not in a rush with that one, eh?

Then there is the IG like scenery from last year, multiple pics, hitting 14-15 month mark. Is that infinitely delayed too or waiting for IG book?

rumor is that the spider thing is a kit that got canned. which only grows more likely as time goes on
