Oh come on.

Its diffecult to say but it looks more like fantasie then 40k.

Crystalline blade of some kind. Nothing immediately leaps to mind, except perhaps something Eldar?

Could be a blue GK blade?

It's a Cathayan long sword! Ninjas confirmed for Old World

(In all seriousness, it reminds me of some of the gutter runner/Mordheim skaven swords but it's way too clean to be them)

It comes across as more of a carved piece of something than a typically weapon, really. It seems like it could be some sort of crystal or mineral than forged metal or whatever. Not sure what factions would use something like that? There's the Kin Darkstar Axe but that's all I can think of, it is also quite angular and flat.

Looks three-dimensional to me. Some diamond shaped base decoration or something.


Or it's a squig.

A nadirite blade for ossiarch bonereapers?

T’au Bonding Knife. Question is, carried by a T’au, or another Auxiliary?

I'll say something Necron.

If its a blade, it would have a veird double edge that dont makes sense.
Looks like its perhaps a vedge/kite shaped fin decoration for a vehicle -the top is flat.

Edit, but then again, they would not paint a fin with hard shadowed sides like that.

Necron crystal base decoration was my first thought.

Well thats a classic Ninjato sword shape.
First thought was 'vibroblade' but it doesnt have the pseudo-tuning-fork slots at the kissaki.

New week, new rumour engine picture:


Definitely a lot of gloop on that particular weapon - presumably there's a stabbin' stick of some form under there somewhere.

Swamp ork squig stabba?

Well that's 110% Kruleboyz/Hobgrots

Could it be? The mythical third Underworlds team?

looks more human to me, but the goop on the blade is definitely poison

Grey Knight Kill team? Paint scheme is similar to the nemesis force weapons and it could be an updated halberd blade.

oh, and the form the goop takes is pretty identical, too. yeah that feels very settled, then

Sneaky Gits?

Def hobgrots

Hobgrot Hero maybe?

Hero should always be the default assumption, all most factions get is one hero per edition. But the blade looks a bit mid for a hero level dude, so there is hope for a unit of sneaky poison specialists? Or, of course, another Underworlds/Warcry gang.

The reverse grip on the knife could indicate an off-hand weapon. Could be a backup poison/goop knife for a nastier main hand weapon.

No crossguard on the weapon - dodgy af.

That hand has a lot to answer for too though; I know we all have a bit of excess skin in that bit between the thumb and forefinger, but that hand is crawling around the uncanny valley for me with the ridiculous fold of extra epidermis. Gross.

Ironjawz?

probably if it's a choppy thing

might be gloomspite if it's upside down and is a crest on a helmet ?

Corpse Cult or whatever they're called? The Necromunda army.

Corpse Grinders have more neatly machined parts.

Ironjawz bat'leth is possible, the size is right and the straps fit, although their serrations tend to be in the form of spikes bolted onto the blade, not cut into it.
