Guard already have/had a tank called the Griffon. So if mythologically speaking a hipogriff is half griffon, then this Hipogriff is the half track rumoured by Valrak.

 

That's maths.

The only vehicles named after mythical creatures are those using the chimera chassis so id be willing to wager it’s either a chimera light tank meaning chimera chassis cut down removing the transport bay, or the name is just a code name.

"Other metal friends"... well we do have light tank rumor, but word "friends" implies more then one. More new models or refresh of old ones? Multiple variants availible from the start? 

 

As for old man on new legs... 

 

My bet is Yarrick raiding around on some mechanical mount. 

Could easily just be the half track and light tank Valrak said was rumored.

 

that would be a pretty high profile release. New yarrick, and 2 new vehicles. Not bad for an end of edition release, then an early to mid edition refresh for a mystery regiment in 11th and a late edition regiment in a KT. 
this is my guess or maybe the KT and the refreshed regiment are flopped.

It suddenly struck me that when rereading the Whitefang back me up rumor that, while it might not be steel legion.. it could always be Iron guard as "other metal friends."

strange for Armageddon ( or so I thought ) as well as Yarrick.. they did get mention in the narrative campaign event recently.

 

Then upon further reading I came across this :

 

The pegasus commissar tank ? I said it before ( on the other forum I think.) that a commissar tank really felt like a gap in the range.. not aware that there used to be one ( well not really an official one, but still.)

 

Mordians also do fit a fancier powerfist like this one :

 

Though valraks rumors are Yarrick, another Comissar and 2 tanks.. its possible its 3 kits, maybe even 2 with the last being a dual kit ( its often better when theorising to be as conversative as possible with rumors ) ;

-- Yarrick
-- Hypogriff light halftrack tank
-- Pegasus style comissar tank with the commisar sporting above fist ( but then raised in the air obviously... dont know if they ever rotated rumor engines)

Unless they painstakingly edited out the body of the commissar this would have to be either an elevated fist, or a fist held out in front of the model, and then rotated for more easier viewing.

Which... wouldn't be the first time, as they've done exactly that on several occasions. The Skorpius being one of the more prominent examples.

The Rumour Engines indeed tend to be edited in a way that hides any more details than they intend to show, be that by picking an extreme closeup or odd angle, rotating the image, or cutting out other parts of the model, mostly in the background.

 

Some blatant examples, mostly of the cutting out variety:

No.  If we're getting a Commissar tank, it will 100% have him waving a chainsword, to fulfil the "drive me closer" meme...

i believe it´s power sword

[TheMawr]

Id "totally expect" it to be modulable in such a case

 

Angry fist from the rumor engine and book in the other hand emulating this classic :

 

Powersword and pointy finger to honor the meme

 

Poweraxe and pistol to be nostalgic about the above picture that inspires this theory

First, Command Tank not Commissar Tank. 

 

Two, if they were to add commissars to Vehicle, I would expect that to be an upgrade sprue, so you can turn any (compatible) IG vehicle into Commissar-mobile.
