Its obviously a cherub, copying images from @LSM in another forum :

 

What I also noticed is that the arm on the second cherub is actually really similar to a much older unresolved rumor engine ( wich I assumed was votan back then.)

 

Its quite possibly part of a Kill team, in a post I didnt yet make I was already theorising that some kill teams that are going away may get some rough replacements. My guess for a potential sisters of battle kill team replacement is frateris militia ( there is a skull in a box rumor engine that seems to reference an old inquisitor game preacher.)

 

I hope that while Im typing this Im not doubleposting it.

Well, there is tumours of more kill teams heading our way, including a grey Knight one. This could be part of that

When combining it with :

and

 

It could be a Grey Knights Techmarine with cherub servitor(s).

It would fit the other grey knight rumor very well with a bit of a vehicle focus, and grey knights still use old techmarine+servitors as their basis right ?

edit: Small bonus points for this theory, these above two rumor engines dropped at the same time they said grey knights where still coming but next (so this) year.

 

As for the kill teams, its from a new unproven source apparently ( so last we heard from the old source was "swooping hawks are definitely coming in kill team" with a "oh no, they arent after all" a week later.. caught out through that info perhaps ?? ) exodites in kill team from that source makes me instant-sceptical, and with 40k corsairs rumors also hanging in the air of uncertainity.. it would be really weird if not one but all valraks sources are right in everything except eldar stuff )

That second cherub looks like he has three credit card bills overdue and is late on his mortgage.

Clearly, it’s Sanguinius possessing a Cherub!

finally the winged thunderwolves that all the space marine chapters are getting in lieu of jet bikes. Grimnar and Guilliman went ham on collabing on that new Codex Astartes update.

New devastator type unit?

[Son of Rawl]

So that's where the Sanguinary Guards wings went.

 

Wasn't Sammael meant to get an update? He is currently out of stock and online only on GW's site.

The very clean look of it had me thinking Old World High Elves to be honest, although I don't know if any TOW stuff has ever featured on the rumour engine before (not to mention they're the next faction out for that system so would be an unusually short turnaround for a rumour engine)

Finally worthy opponent to these?!

Hoping on a dev squad a la sternguards.

But a compensator squad would most defenitely also make it way into my BT IF there was the option and rules for REDICULOUS AMMO!!! (aka Space Balls rediculous speed)

I am not convinced we will see Primaris Devastators. They have split the different types of heavy weapons between squads:

• Melta - Eradicators
• Plasma - Hellblasters
• Missiles - Desolators

I can see the appeal of this as squads no longer pay for wargear. That means if a change in future rules makes melta stronger, it will be easier to adjust the price of Eradicators and leave the other alone.

 

The other issue is that there are some weapon types not really present in the primaris range yet which is Lascannons (or an equivalent dedicated anti-tank option) and Grav weapons. Both of these options exist on Centurions which seem to have been left in curious in-between state as they are not technically Primaris but are much newer than other Firstborn infantry. Because of this, I don't necessarily expect either of these weapon types to appear on Primaris infantry squads in the near future.
