Probably the same faction as the zany flamethrower.

And, as we were just reminded with Huron's crew, the Rumour Engine loves spamming bits from impossible to predict character sets.

So I'm gonna say an AoS something-hunter character unit / warband full of anachronistic tech.

The crack under the scope makes me think Necromunda. So maybe Ash Waste Nomads?

Not a Space Marine nor Necron!


I'm helping!

Sky Dwarf?

Not with those dainty fingers.

Maybe it's for those regulary mentioned Goblin/Grot balloon sky-pirates. I guess they need some shooting to hassle the Kharadrons (or anyone else) and the flamer, the hose and the gun would pass for Gobbo High Tek.

I'll go with something Kharadron

Paws for thought.

Chaos stead? Deathriders?

Interesting. It's not quite like the Krieg horses, or anything particularly Tyranidy?

Some weird little Xenos maybe?

It's not Kroot is it?

My first thought was something Slaanesh.


It's not really striking me as Tyranid and the Krieg horses have much more of a talon than hoof.


If its Slaanesh it could be anything; new mounts; leaders etc

Scavies and muties combined for Necromunda?
Or perhaps Exodites...

The hoof looks quite Tyranids to me. Particularly the ‘ribbing’ as it meets the foot.

But. We seem to have some kind of fur as well, which isn’t a Tyranids thing. Even Genestealer Hybrids are baldies.

I ruled out nids originally, as they generally have the foot spike on the back of the leg above the hoof. But looking more into it, the flyrant has 2 little claws flanking the feet talons, and the SK has a little stabby toe next to theirs.

So maybe nids.

Looks too squidgy flesh though, rather than exoskeleton.

You are not wrong.

My first thoughts were “this cannot be a nid, structure is off”. But I’ve soffened that to “probably not nid”

Still thinking mutated horse of some sort.

Could it be? Plastic Centigors?

Super outside chance? But bear with me on this one…

Horse-stealer Hybrids. Perhaps a cavalry or centauroid unit.

I mean, background wise? There’s nothing to stop a Genestealer doing its Filthy Nature to any mammal or mammal adjacent species. You just don’t necessarily get much in the way of a useful cult of doing that alone.

But. Introduce Tyranid genetics to a beast of burden? And like Human Hybrids, they’d be possessed of greater strength and endurance.

Which, for Horsey? Could make for excellent mounts for advanced scouts. Not just naturally capable of traversing rough terrain? But able to do so for longer, on fewer rations.

it looks a lot like the foot of a not horse from krieg

Probably some kind of new Lumineth Realm Lord cavalry unit is my bet, or something else AoS non horse adjacent. New monstrous cavalry for Cities of Sigmar?

Gorkamorka Muties, surely.

GSC have the coolest bikes already, why would they want/need horses? I'd rather have hybrid ogryns or ratlings, personally.

Tyranids have never had their 'ankle' at that point, and it looks like hair on the upper part of the picture, so I'm ruling them out as candidates. I want to believe in Exodites.

Probably the feet of a small critter that comes with a larger model unfortunately

Oh oh it's whatever made up mount the AoS shadow elves have. Perhaps half ostrich half horse.

But because this is the rumour engine, it's a single mounted elf guy in an Underworlds gang.

A new Night Lord character, with legs even more fethed up than the Kill Team Raptor guy.

First solve of the year. It’s a Mutilator.

Chaos Marine Flail?

Looks like part of the new mutalators.

Edit: too slow

Probably Imperial Guard. Likely tying into Eye of Terror.

Also looks like a classic Reaver Titan Powerfist to me.

Unlikely, but it could also be a Fist Marine(either Dorn coming back somehow, or Kantor getting the Primaris upgrades).

Solarite Gauntlet for Aquilon Terminators maybe?
