But we already have Chaos-ified Knights, including one with a reaper chainsword...

Given it's a chain weapon, I lean towards something World Eater-y, but I couldn't say what.

Mutilators and bikers are the last units that really need updates for basic CSM right?

Could be a multipart Obliterator/Mutilator 2-3 pack

I want to say that doesn't mean they can't be reintroduced alongside new models that don't look like gak, but I can't think of any other examples of GW doing similar in the last few years.

I meant for things recently retired, particularly units, with a gap between the old retiring and the new unit being announced. Like mutilators would be.

Obviously there have been plenty of long-term nostalgia re-releases starting with GSCs in 7th. But those were gone for a while, at least a decade, and in most cases encorporated entire factions.

Chaos Lord with jump pack was dropped. then got a new plastic model with the last codex and behold, he has officially official rules again. The same could happen with Mutilators.

I don't think that's what the rumor engine is, though. My guess is bespoke possessed or mutated models of some kind for a Legion that isn't World Eaters, since they already have theirs. Doesn't even have to be Marines. Could be Cooltists as well.

The style looks to organic for a dreadnought or knight so mutilators sounds about right. Unfortunately. It have many design similarities with one arm/mutatation in the posessed kit.

I would really like a new helbrute in that style though.

It definitely doesn't look EC as we know it, but they have the freedom to do the design language for them almost from scratch. The number of 40k (rather than 30k) EC miniatures in the entire history of the game is shockingly small and not really visually unified by very much. So maybe they will lean into the body horror; it's not unprecedented (e.g. Kakophoni, Lucius).

I could see Mutilators returning as a WE-specific unit with new sculpts as part of a WE wave 2 - ideally including Bloodcrusher Cavalry (beyond a character), Berserker-Surgeons and maybe the Teeth of Khorne - but I wouldn't bet the farm on them happening.

Looks like a more elaborate muzzle of a Helfrost Cannon.

I'd probably go with the general consensus of naughty Mechanicum.

However I'll throw a Votann curveball in there as it's not too dissimilar to the graviton weapons of the Thunderkyn and Brokhyrs.

Where the picture ends on the left, that stem or rod it's attached to looks quite thick really. I mean compared to the rest of the model. Maybe it is a weapon mounted on a vehicle.

Do the brush stroke highlights give a scale indication for this?

Anyway looks interesting for sure.

That’s not a bad shout. The zoomed pic can of course be misleading (and deliberately so), but that could easily be an Abeyant mounted zapper.
