Rumour Engine The Rumour Engine - 22nd October, 2024

WarCom Article.

 

Something Imperial? Nothing particularly heretical here.

[grailkeeper]

Necromunda perhaps? 

 

Its a weird angle. Has the rumour engine messed with angles before, or is this the angle its likely to be at?

[Xanthous]

Reminds me of the missile racks on Scarab Occult Terminators, but they definitely look more like bullets.

[ZeroWolf]

That's an interesting one, possibly something for HH? There's nothing really to mark it out as a factions style, at least not to me

If they did its rare, I think sometimes when it was expected it turned out not to be.

However even if it was switched around, it still reminds me mostly of one of the CSM Havoc weapons, wich has its ammo in this angle. (though different shape, more curved, and a different ammo.)

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Looks similar to the old, top-loading missile launchers/autocannons that CSM had, but without any fins/tapering that missiles generally have. Maybe a top-loading autocannon? Can't really see it as an Emperor's Children special weapon, so not likely them.... Could be some sort of new heavy weapon for the IG- call back to the old sitting heavy weapons?

[Craig]

Kreig artillery weapon perhaps?

[grailkeeper]

 

[Marshall Bretton]

It's a heavy weapon, likely an autocannon or heavy bolter. What's shown is the magazine which would feed further into the weapon as each round is fired.

 

Possibly for the krieg release as their design tends more towards WW1/WW2 style equipment which would fit with this although the old valhallan models used this type as well.

 

 

[grailkeeper]

If it is a heavy weapon, the angle makes me think it might on the side of a vehicle or something similar. 

[Xenith]

Definitely AoS.

 

But really, probably an autocannon

I would say Ork, but it doesn't look ramshackle enough. 

 

Might something from Necromunda. 

[Urauloth]

Yeah those definitely look like autocannon shells. If there's really a wider DKoK release coming, it could be a weapon team for that?

Also damn, those Valhallan designs were so nice. I know we'll never see them in plastic, but man, what if.

[Brother Carpenter]

Or the rocket rack on the old SM missile launcher, at an angle b'cause the wielder is not aiming.

[sarabando]

damn look at those print lines XD

[Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla]

Weren't there rumours about another new regiment besides Krieg? So since I prefer Krieg to keep its old drumm mags for Autocannons, I'm gonna say: "It's clearly Praetorians".

[Magos Takatus]

Yeah, like most of you have said, this just screams old style autocannon to me.

[mecanojavi99]

The closest thing Krieg wise would the Twin Heavy Stubber Weapons Team.

 

 

It's the only one of the old Krieg Weapon Teams that used top mounted vertical magazines.

 

By comparison, the Heavy Bolter one was belt fed and the Autocannon one had a drum magazine.

 

 

[Marshal Rohr]

Krieg HWT redesign

[SalamandersBro]

Krieg HW came to my head also 

[Bouargh]

Reminds me of the chargers of bolters on  castellax miniatures. A lil'  bit.

 

And although it does not fit that well with the 1000S's Achea, could it be an embodiment of this for the rumoured battle automata for 42nd millenium? Should be a big calibre bolter though... Too big for a wrist mounted stuff maybe? Or may it be a revisited shoulder mounted HB for this droid?

[Jukkiz]

what if it´s HH imperial guard faction?

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Definitely a missile/rocket launcher of some sort likely originally an imperial design.

so I’m guess EC or votann related.

Don’t you dare

[Joe]

To be honest, Jukkiz might be on to something there - we know they are working on more than one new faction in plastic for the system (we can comfortably tick Dark Mechanicum as one of them), so a dedicated Imperial Army range (to replace / expand upon Imperialis Militia) and Daemons of the Ruinstorm aren't entirely out of reach. It's already been insanely wild watching Solar Auxilia and Mechanicum drop in plastic within six months of each other.
