Possibly Chaos Dwarfs for AoS.

Chorfs were my thought, too. we're probably getting that this year, so it'd be about the time to start teasing that

Tactical Smoke is a BattleTech thing.

After last week’s easy win, you’re probably expecting today’s Rumour Engine to be a real brain-scratcher, and you’d be right. There’s no possible way you can guess what this is. In fact, we’re willing to stake all of our Rumour Engineers’ jobs on stumping you this week,

I'm going to throw out a rope bridge piece of scenery for a new Warcry edt.

I'll take it

Possibly a basket of some kind if it’s not a rope bridge.

Looks like there's a bend in there, so probably not a rope bridge. Might be a guard rail on a howdah or something.

I immediately though the carriage for a hot air balloon. Maybe the goblin sky pirates they keep promising for AOS?

i don't think we're getting new AOS goblins anytime soon

terrain was my first thought. struggle to see how this would go on an infantry model. maybe a boat?

Do they rumor engine terrain sets?

some pieces of warcry/AOS terrain have ended up in there, yeah

Cool, thanks.

As for my guess, I have no idea, since my AoS/Warcry skills are lacking.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not for Legion Imperialis or Adeptus Titanicus.

Could be an endless spell, something that surrounds models like the Sanctum of Amyntok but maybe as some kind of snare or prison.

Sploosh!

Obvious, possibly too Obvious? Evil Fish Elves.

Fish elves is the obvious go-to, but maybe swamp orcs?

Water caste tau?
Decorative fountain?
Nurgle sneeze?

Fishmen?

Must be Deepkin with their book coming up after the Vamps.

First thought was "obviously troll vomit" but its to clean, no fish bones or half digested lumps.

And most likely an upward splash, like something jumping out of water.
Could be the salmon of knowledge that Finn spent so long fishing for?

fishes or some kind of nurgly whatever were my two thoughts. but this could be for a lot of things, AOS has a lot of guys who do things with large bursts of liquid-like things. could even be, tho it feels unlikely, some sort of scenic greeble for a particularly flashy 40k model

my money's on fish

Blood spurt from a possessed mushing a poor reiklander youngblood. Mordheim 2025 confirmed!

We don't have an incarnate of the river do we for Realmlords?

It’s either a not very good or useful music genre originating from British morons, or an industrial tool.

Only GSC use the three leafed clover drill layout AFAIK

The claws around it make me think it's a weapon, not a tunneling vehicle, sadly.

Then, and the Leviathan Dreadnought’s Siege Drill.

Maybe an updated, plastic Termite assault drill?

That fits precisely with Valrak's rumour of a new large (Questoris I think) Chaos Knight with a siege drill.

Possibly. But, the Plastic Heresy kits tend to be pretty direct copies of the resin



So, I don’t think it is, but not ruling it out.

GSC was my first thought, but massive drill for chaos knights is also a possibility. i also thought it might be squat stuff for Necromunda, since they have some similar stuff there

It definitely looks at least Knight arm scaled.

Titanicus siege drill arm? Siege titan?

Only other thing I can think of is a new hades breaching drill
