ZeroWolf Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Rumour engine for 17th March, a fine pair of boots indeed. Quote Broken statues are rather common in the worlds of Warhammer, because they’re some of the first things that get blown to pieces when invaders come knocking, but you can’t just… not build them. Imagine how drab the 41st Millennium would be without 50-foot tall effigies of Space Marines on every street corner. This week’s Rumour Engine, for instance, looks like a very broken statue. Or maybe an unfortunate boot-wearer caught by a laser beam. gaurdian31 and Lord Marshal 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387691-rumour-engine-17th-march/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvereyes Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's like something from Looney Tunes, where a character gets disintigrated and all they leave is their boots behind.

gaurdian31 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Statue of Horus after the Emperor is done with him on the Vengeful Spirit. The sculptor forgot to sculpt the little poofs of smoke coming out of the boots.

Marshal Reinhard Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Those some very human boots at least... but I doubt the full reveal of whatever the mini is will shed all that much more light on what the statue used to be...

Tastyfish Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's a very smooth shape the bottom right. Hard to see it as a cloak or a weapon at that height - likewise being a piece of out of place pipework.

grailkeeper Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Fulgrim. One of the lesser talked about downsides of having half your body be a snake is you can no longer have stylish footwear.

dalmer Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Was gonna say what if those eagles were more High Elf-y and/or a Blood Bowl statue? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387691-rumour-engine-17th-march/#findComment-6161442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antarius Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 On the one hand, the wings look very "Imperial Eagle", on the other hand, the eagle looks like it might just have the one head, facing straight out and the boots look pretty un-40K, but who knows?

Aren't the model ranges and artwork aflush with single headed eagles every now and then? Yes the two headed aquila is a thing, its the main thing, but I'm pretty sure we have examples of one headed eagles, at least as decorations. The corners on a statue base don't seem too out there. I cannot recall seeing eagles on Stormcast terrain... OW Empire? Otherwise I'm rather inclined to sort this under 40k.

Nephaston Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Yeah, I'd bet money they put RE on hold until the starter box is revealed proper to avoid double dipping or teasing thing they've shown already.
