might have been. i only remember my (now proven incorrect) speculation

**lord_blackfang**

Yea the snarlfang shield was known to be a snarlfang shield, but I assumed it would be 1 snarlfang hero as the lone new release for Gitz this edition, happy to be wrong about that part.

I think this might be the top of the kreig drill/cyclops thing. Need a better angle on the pics I’ve seen.

Valiant guess, but no

**Lathe Biosas**

Cool, is that the new Cyclops remote detonation vehicle?

I love its new smaller profile and that it has a controller.

Thanks for the update.

i think it's smaller than the cyclops, even as much as half, but i wonder if it'd still be usable for that purpose

**Lathe Biosas**

One issue, is there a different configuration for the little unit? The rumor engine picture doesn't match the model.

**StudentOfEtherium**

i think the rumor engine pic is from a different model, since it's different

**Lathe Biosas**

Hmmmm.... this guessing game is a lot harder than I first thought. But it's still fun to try.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It’s a jet nozzle for sure. Immediate thought was the CC Thallaxi variant. But that bracket thing makes me think Votann?

**silverstu**

yeah definitely Votann with the roll cage feature. Maybe jet engine for a flyer/gunship?

**Dudeface**

It also matches all the primaris design language, so it may not be votann by default. Mechanicum was another good shout

**Scottywan82**

It might be the Ursurax or Arlatax.

**The Phazer**

We don't get many specialist game studio rumour engines so I'd be surprised if it's Mechanicum.

We've still got a few RE's that are pretty obviously Votann, so a decent wave 2 seems likely, and there's no Marine vehicles rumoured, so I'd lean towards some new vehicles for the short boys. But Marines aren't impossible.

**Olthannon**

I'd also be fairly tempted to say Votann. That curved right plate is a good bet for it.

EDIT: are Grey Knights due some sort of psychic Primaris tank or something?

**Lathe Biosas**

It might be the one thing that Votann needs but no one wants
...a flyer.

**Asmodai**

The Votann flying bikes seem to use the discs for propulsion rather than a jet, so I'm leaning to Primaris over Votann for this one.

**Inquisitor Gideon**

Escher found something else to stick a jet engine onto

**Fayric**

Hmm, its identical to every space marine jet, and no other faction share the design.

Nope, I got nothing. I gonna go with S... Squig?

For sure! In a mecha squig for the grot uprising.

It'll go with the grot tanks... I'm seeing a new detachment brewing.

**The Power Cosmic**

Votann version of a Vyper

There also seems to be marine style grav-plates.

**Lathe Biosas**

What are the Marines needing? A new scout transport?

Two things:

1) It's a space marine vehicle for sure, identical jets and grav plates.

2) It's not the only one on the model since the things above it aren't symmetrical, so it's not a jet bike.

**Lathe Biosas**

What does the back of a storm speeder look like?

Could it be a variant or an new Dark Angel Master of the Ravenwing?

**MajorWesJanson**

Didn't Dark Angels just get their model release and codex?

**Nevelon**

New land speeder storm, or equivalent phobos transport?

**fox-light713**

Primarus version of the scout land speeder/ scout transport land speeder?
