Rumour Engine 29-7-2025

I hope Im doing this right.
New rumor engine is here, and while the first thought is AoS ( same in the text ) there is some possible relevance
https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/cnoxaf3h/the-rumour-engine-29th-of-july/

 

 

Now a severed hand symbol ( as decoration or on the end of a staff, sword or spear ? ) is immediately remniscent of Morai-Heg. Whom has relevance in AoS as well.

 

However

DoK ( the faction it would be for ) dont use soulstone shaped gems. Thats actually more of an eldar thing.

Meanwhile we have 1 Eldar release coming for sure between now and 12 months ( Drukhari codex.) but also 2 rumored things ( Aeldari corsairs for 40k and Exodites for Kill Team. )

 

As well as an Eldar faction steeped in Morai-Heg relevance... that definitely has ties with one of the rumored releases ( Prince Yriel ) and might have ties with more ( my own theory being that the Exodites kill team might be a misidentified ynnari or even croneworld kill team, its a tiny might and purely based on that I dont see GW removing exodites from the dinoriding aspect, and dont see dino riding units in kill team.)

 

( and again, I hope Im doing this right.. I rarely start posts )

I think it is meant to be a staff head, judging by the bit above the gems. As for everything else? Unknown at this point. Would be nice if it was exodites mind.

Yes, that bit makes eldar ( or elves for that matters ) much less likely.. I cant find anywhere they use that kind of patterning. In general its mostly a chaos thing.. except for Slaanesh and Tzeentch where you would expect such gemstones and refined material.

btw I think its a (short) Sceptre or ceremonial mace hanging from a belt or something, not really a carried staff. 

It seems to be part of the same plastic bit as the fur, wich would make it a fur skirt.. all in all, less and less likely to be 40k the longer I look at it. Maybe not even AoS ( TOW kislev ?)

honestly the more i look at it i think its a high elf mini.

I have seen speculation that it could be more Kurnothi "aelves" for AoS, which seems reasonable.
