Rumour Engine 2023

Based on the spike in the arm and the skin, I guess some kind of undead unit. Something for FEC?

 

This week's Rumour Engine is up:



Bones, bones, bones. That can be quite a lot of factions...

The Spikes behind it looks somewhat like bamboo, so it might be part of a new Warcry (scenery) set

Grrr, !mrahil

 

As my brother once said "Warhammer settings, where everyone decorates with bones and almost everyone indulges in some light cannibalism."

 

Last week's Rumour Engine:



Somehow this makes me think of Skaven... but it could be part of a new terrain set as well.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

These two definitely make me think another Warcry set is on the way with a new collection of scenery, though there have been worrying signs that there may be a big Flesh Eater Courts release on the horizon as well.

 

Today's Rumour Engine:





My first thought was: more Seraphon????
But after a longer look it looks more like the claw of a bird, the vulture kind, along with the candles it could be a wizards bird-companion.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

To me that one looks like a Ghoul foot, to my dismay.

 

I agree that it feels "undead" and likely something for FEC. Do you not like that faction?

 

In part I don't because they're Vampires (just Ghoulish Vampires rather than standard ones), and in part I'm worried about all this because it'll piss me off that they and Sylvaneth (a faction I particularly loathe) got a second wave of models in 3rd yet Fyreslayers and Kharadron didn't, especially given that the former is particularly in need of new units and not new unnamed hero models.

 

Yes, we've talked a couple times about the fact that Fyreslayers seem to have been forgotten. I agree that they could use a little model love.

 

Due to vacation I had to catch up on the Rumour Engines:

So added the ones from August up to now:

1 August:

This looks like it is for Blood Bowl


8 August:

New terrain piece?


15 August:

Orruks, Beastmen of FEC?


Grrr, !mrahil

 

Today's Rumour Engine:



Is it a tree or is it an elk?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

I would say some kind of animal. From the hanging moss/slime, maybe an undead or Nurgle model? Possibly Sylvaneth? I guess it could even be part of a monster/animal skull as a piece of terrain.

 

Among the reveals at the NOVA open a bunch of Rumour Engines have been solved.

I will start with the Troll King:

Also this weeks Rumour Engine is up



FEC?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Oddly, I think these are pallid Ogors cursed with unending hunger. They do look more like zombies or ghouls, honestly.

 

Yesterday's Rumour Engine:



quite in the line with other Rumour Engines:



and




Looks like it will be a wave of new models for one faction.

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Yesterday's Rumour Engine:



Will it be an Elfish blade/glave? Or something Necromunda?

Grrr, !mrahil
