Rumour Engine March 5th Rumour Engine - could it be a SW teaser?

[Bouargh]

I did not see it comented other there.

If I initially though it sceamed out for dwarves (AoS or the Old World), but might it be SW related?

May be a little bland for 40k, plus missing power cables or so....

?

Typically Space Wolf Axes have either An exceedingly obvious Wolf Head on them or are covered in Fenrisian Runes.

 

This Axe has neither of those, nor any form of power cable which would indicate that its a power/"Frost" weapon at all.

 

It also looks like a very small Axe tbh, so Non-40k Dwarves looks like it's accurate (since it also doesn't look like an LoV axehead)

[Subtleknife]

Feels more dwarvish to me.

[apologist]

Old World Dwarfs? The Ironbreakers/Longbeards etc. have very similar decoration on their axes.

[Redcomet]

ToW Dwarves. Most likely one of the resin heroes to come out alongside the ancient plastic kits

It's also worth pointing out that SW (30k and 40k) have largely diamond shaped gems rather than oblong shaped:

It's probably safe to say that it's not Votann based on the axes we have so far:

Dispossessed (AoS old style dwarves, neither Fyreslayers or Kharadron) are being mentioned more and more in the current edition and Grungi and Grombrindal are on the move, we've also got TOW dwarves coming out relatively shortly and Grombrindal is due his anniversary very soon, I think one of these is a safe bet

I was thinking it might be Votann

[Halandaar]

Would bet that it's a new Grombindal/White Dwarf miniature, given they specifically called out in the Relics article that he was "turning 500" and there would be a merch box containing unknown stuff for the occasion. 

 

The currently available model wasn't even designed specifically for him, it's an 8th Edition WFB Dragon Slayer with a new paintjob.

The wolves are a lot like orks.

 

We are not subtle.

You know a wolf rumor image immediately.

[soviet1337]

It'd be an axe in the shape of a wolf, held by a wolf, with wolf pendants hanging off it

True.

 

The real question when a wolf rumor image drops, wont be "Is this a wolf axe?", it'll be "Who specifically does this wolf axe belong to?"

The big chunky jewel could be Votann. 

[grailkeeper]

Mind you Blood Bowl Dwarfs also have similar big chunky jewels 

[LittlePlasticHomies]

I don’t think Votann as it doesn’t have the two-tier blade/holder design we see in a lot of their weapons.

[Triszin]

It's 100% old world dwarf.
