The Rumour Engine – 23rd April 2024

[Bouargh]

interesting one...

 

 

The Rumour Engine – 23rd April 2024 - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com)

 

I am a little bit puzzled. I would tend to see a Necromunda vibe here, But do not ask me why. 3 clawed fingers is not fitting with anything that comes to my mind and it is not chaosy enough for my taste.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Looks either orky or chaosy to me.

maybe yarrick with a power klaw he took from an ork?

Feels more ad-mech to me. 

 

Edit: for example has similar design cues here and there from the Kataphron claws.

I would also lean towards Necromunda as a lot of the latest Necromunda models seem to be sporting 3 fingered augmetics. It's also quite beaten up in the same way.

 

However, not sure it is Necromunda. Does look a bit more Chaos tbh.

I was gonna say maybe Charonite Ogryns for Solar Auxilia but went back and looked at the original models and this looks nothing like their weapons.

I'm enjoying the rumour engine accompanying commentary from WarCom of late, they've got someone geuninely funny writing them recently.

 

Whatever mini this is, looks cool and I want one.

[Jukkiz]

new dark eldar grotesques?

[Cleon]

The little pips on the back of the thumb scream Chaos to me. Perhaps a power fist in another set of mortals/cultists/traitor guard?

[Doobles57]

Little bit Chaos...

Little bit Ad Mech...

 

 

.........Dark Mechanicum?

[RedFox]

Dark ad mech confirmed

[skylerboodie]

Obliterator/Helbrute?

[Marshal Rohr]

Looks like a Chaos version of the Van Saar Power Claw

[Joe]

There's a melta on the underside.

[Remain_Indoors]

Huron Blackheart with a new melta packing fist. I mean it’s definitely not, but I can dream.

[CL_Mission]

This has light coloured paint worked with scratched corners, this other rumour engine has the same sort or scuffed paint so I recon they are related.

I'd love for this to be something Dark Mechanicus but I think Necromunda is also a safe bet.

[Matrindur]

Save guess would be necromunda but my wild guess is HH Mechanicum

 

Something just feels like this guy to me:

Spoiler

 

(Of course the level of detail doesn't match up but still feels like it could be something new for Mechanicum as SA also got new stuff for their release)

That's a good spot! 

 

At first I thought it looked like a new Grotesque, but I agree it looks like it goes with the Ad Mech-y looking skull with drill

Im thinking this new one and the drill might indeed be Mechanicum. The burshwork is more FW than 40k. And I think the brighter scheme might be that they use the light beige Mechanicum scheme for the studio army instead of red. FW really wants to have a little of distance from GW studio armies.

[ThaneOfTas]

Definitely feels like some kind of Daemon Engine, although I can also see how it could be a Necromunda model

[01RTB01]

Spryers for necromunda?

[Arendious]

Non-chaos guess: New Spyrers for Necromunda?

[Guest Triszin]

Chaos robots coming back under a vashtors pertarbo, dark mech faction

We also see those "pips" on some admech models (I think the onager has some on its legs, or skitarii have them on some shinguards and weapons iirc)

 

The painted weathering seems more like Necromunda painting style, 40k models are generally "cleaner" for the box art - could Necromunda be getting an AdMech team or at least hired guns in the new expansion (Secundus?)

[Amocat]

40k beastmen? like a big leader type model...

 

[tinpact]

Something Necromunda seems like a safe bet...I don't think it has enough greebles to be Epic (the return of the Subjugator?) as much as I'd like to hope.
