I wasn’t meaning Grindcore. I was meaning the daft, talentless, inexplicable “Drill”.

**Quixote**

I hope it's for Knights, it would be nice to see and option that's not claw or saw.

**Oguhmek**

Primaris Centurions!

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

Abhorrent, technically, if it's Chaos Knights.

I'd be surprised if they got a new Abhorrent kit, mind you: The current one already builds three, and was fairly recently updated with the Abominant. I'd hope for a plastic Tyrant before that, tbh.

Better than Chaos Knights... they already have too many options.

**Fayric**

Could be a garbage disposal unit for the recycling centre Cawdor run in the weekends.

**Hellebore**

I would love a Votann Termite. The squats had the Termite and Hellbore superheavy. Would be cool to see them again.

They already exist as the...Termite and Ordinatus Aktaeus (latin for european mole)

Drill originated in chicago

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It did??

From the most trustworthy site in the history of mankind, Wikipedia:

Drill music, also known as drill rap or simply drill, is a subgenre of hip-hop music that originated in Chicago in the early 2010s. It is sonically similar to the trap music subgenre and lyrically similar to the gangsta rap subgenre.[2][3] Drill lyricism is noted for its dark, "ominous", confrontational, and taunting nature, often including references to gang violence and specific criminal incidents, such as murders.[4] Drill rappers often issue disses, threats, and taunts to rival gang members through their music, and mock deceased rivals.[3][5] The subgenre's name is derived after a slang term for attacks on rival gangs.[2]

I think the Doc refers to another musical Drill, who are also described on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia wrote:Drill are a band from North East England. They were formed in early 1989 and released albums on the Abstract Sounds, Retribution Records and Muza Muza labels. After splitting in 1994 they reformed in 2005 releasing a new album in 2008. The Drill project was shelved late 2009.

**chaos0xomega**

Ah never heard of the band

To be fair, they did split over fifteen years ago.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

That has to be a Chaos Knight, surely. Probably pairs with the rock drill thing.

**Nevelon**

No arguments here. Looks like a large scale chaos flamer. Knight is the obvious choice.

If paired with the rock-drill thingy, it kinda replicates the 'classic' siege dread loadout (the Imperial Armour one, before leviathans were a thing) of siege drill and inferno cannon - oversized and reimagined for a modern-day audience!

**Lathe Biosas**

I think it could be a Horus Heresy Chaos dreadnought bit... but...

I wouldn't mind it being a Chaos Knight... because that means it's not an Imperial Knight as we already have a Chainfist/Flamer Knight that no one uses.

**SamusDrake**

Chaos Knight for Kill Team.

**lord_blackfang**

Looks Armiger sized to me, somehow

You keep misspelling words... it's supposed to read "Imperial Knight for Kill Team. The most fair and balanced formation ever created by Games Workshop and a shining beacon of game balance and immersive storytelling."

I have a feeling that Duncan Rhodes is your spirit animal...

Spoiler:

**Fayric**

The hooks on the chain match hooks on the chaos armigers (war dogs).
But the war dog flamer dont look anything like this.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

So, 28mm scale, either 40K or Heresy era.

Fingerless gloves, technological doodad with a pair of analog sticks.

I’m gonna reckon this is…..control panel for a Heavy Mole Mortar, tying into the Mole Mortar shell we saw previously. Most likely Votann.

**Lathe Biosas**

Those do look like vile xenos hands... probably Votann.

I'd agree

**Nevelon**

I was going to guess GSC.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It could be. The hands done appear to have talons though. As in, fingernail ones.

**KidCthulhu**

I would also guess Votann given the boxy angles of the device.

**Mr_Rose**

Could be a Necromunda thing also; are there any drone-controller hangers-on?
