Would be about time for a redone Zombie Dragon and Terrorgheist.

my first thought was night lords, but vampires make more sense

Could be Night Lords Daemon Prince?

Just a dumb question....

What is the typical wait time between the rumour engine cranking out a fuzzy image that looks like it was zoomed in with a 1989 HP inkjet printer that's low on toner... and we learning (officially) what it actually is?

Fastest ever was the exhaust vents for the Big Honking Plastic Imperial Knight, where it might’ve been as swiftly as the next day - certainly the following weekend.

Others have been over a year.

For instance, the second one from this year remains a mystery. And the Ratling diorama model was in the rumour engine (and apparently a sandbag) some time last year.

Thanks, I was also wondering what the successful guess rate was around here, because my success rate is so low that even Einstein wasn't sure if numbers can be that low.

Pretty awful! Some are more obvious than others. But when it’s say, a spiky blade, there’s too many aesthetics it could fit.

Sometimes someone nails it and they’re awarded an Entire Internet as a reward. Minus cookies.

There were a couple that were solved before they were even posted on the Rumour Engine, because they'd already previewed the full model and messed up with the Rumour Engine timing

I could see it. To me it looks like the back of a vampire character. You have the cape, the high skull collar, the other high collar because vampires are fancy enough to have two collars. Then the shoulder pads to the side. Then the bit in the bottom right corner is part of the breastplate. Going by the shade of grey it might even be red.

If Cursed City is bowing out next year then maybe it is Soulblights getting new models.

There's a few models in cursed City that would be welcome as main-line models for the army. Even if all the heroes vanish there's a bunch of troop style models and monsters that would be worth creating boxed sets around.

A new Zombie Dragon/Terrorgast kit (or two separate ones) would also be a big boon. I'm actually surprised they haven't updated it so far considering it pulls double duty for both Flesheaters and Soulblight.


But yeah this sneak peak looks very much vampire style or possible Night Lords

There is no I in skull.

I feel like we're not going to see more Imperial Agents releases, so my guess is a Necromunda character.

Grey Knights possibly? They generally go more for books and swords in icons, but there are more than a few special I's in there as well

I would ADORE more Imperial Agents, but I'm low on hope these days

EDIT: My kingdom for an Inquisitor kit along the lines of the Empire Battle Wizards box!

There were some rumours of a Grey Knight Kill Team. I guess it could also be another limited edition model that's another Inquisitor.

I would much prefer a "yes, we're sorry about Imperial Agents. Here's a second retinue sprue with deamonhosts and Jokero and stuff on it so they're actually useful as a unit."

probably a grey knights character, and i'll hazard a second guess to say it'll be their only model release for the edition

With Grey Knights, it feels like they'll either get a single token release, or the entire range replaced, with no in between.

Between Imperial Guard, Aeldari and Emperor's Children confirmed as major releases for 2025 and Space Wolves rumoured, it does seem like the year is getting full already.

There are still some unresolved rumor pics that heavily indicate more imperial agents or a generic inquisitor model.
There was the "skull in a frame" relic that looked like the relic of a specific zealot from the inquisitor game. And also the servoskull scribe that mimiked that cool FW inquisitor.
And now, this rather uninspired lamp skull.

A generic plastic inquisitor model is surely on the cards.

It must be one of a handful of units in a 10th (or 9th edition for that matter) codex that currently does not have a model on sale.

The only inquisitors on sale are the named and the warhammer+ which doesn't even have a legal loudout.

And we know Imperial Knights are one of the earlier releases in 2025, too, and I've no idea what they're likely to get.

I'm hoping for a new special character. So I don't see Canis Rex in every single build.

Plastic Warhound!

How did you read my mind? Are you a Psyker?

Grey Knight techmarine would be cool.

Between the Cerastus classes and possibly Questor Mechanicus classes, assuming they don't stay Heresy - potentially quite a lot of new stuff that we have already seen in some form.

To be honest, I'd be happy with the Moriax options. Give some more variety to the little guys.

I think it would be cooler if they weren’t traditional techmarines at all; the GK have their own private Forge right next door so they don’t actually need a cadre of builders. Instead they could have psychic machine healers; after all, that was the party trick which convinced the Mechanicum that Big E was the Omnissiah originally and we know it’s a skill regular humans can learn.

While Diemos (and its we can make all currently available Imperial tech STC) is close by, the Nemesis Weapons are all made in house on Titan.

They have to have some sort of Artificer class available, since everyone who comes to visit Titan either leaves with a mindwipe or a new job as a servitor.

Would they not be regular humans carrying on the Terran manufacturing traditions? I.E. the ones the Cult Mechanicum wanted to wipe out because they kept making awesome stuff like Auramite and Psi-Titans but wouldn’t share?
