Rumour Engine 2024

[Imrahil]

@Imrahil is there a typical timeframe between when a rumour engine picture is released and when the whole model is previewed?

Like @Just A Skink said it is pretty random. We have had them varying between 3 days to 3 years.

I expect some solving reveals at next week's previews, but not necessarily solving the longest unsolved Rumour Engine first.

Grrr, !mrahil

Today's Rumour Engine:



Robotica... some sort of walker...

Honestly, some can take a year+. But many get resolved within the year they're teased.

All good things to those who wait... I suppose

It lines up nicely with that skink Noxolotl posted.

My guess would be new mounted skink hero, or possibly separate mini for skink chief on Terradon/Ripperodactyl.

Skinks don't have spines on their backs.

Ay...you are right.

 

[Noxolotl]

Yes the picture I provided was from saurus warriors, sorry for not correcting it earlier

Today's Rumour Engine:



A pretty generic torch...

I confess, I didn't expect this to be a 40K rumor. Ha ha.

Me neither, somehow thought of Lumineth or Slaanesh

Grrr, !mrahil

Today's Rumour Engine:



One Relic to go please.

Probably 40K or Necromunda because of the fingerless glove

Grrr, !mrahil

Yesterday's Rumour Engine:



Torn down fabric or cloth it doesn't tell us much

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[Imrahil]

Today's Rumour Engine:



Obviously a halberd a bit eaten away by either time or disease (FEC or Nurgle?)
or will it be for TOW?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[Imrahil]

Today's Rumour Engine:



I got a feeling this is some Necromunda artificial beast/companion thing

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[Imrahil]

Today's Rumour Engine is a interesting one:




What do we see here...? Could it be Tomb Kings TOW stuff... not ornate enough I think. Perhaps some Ossiarch Bonereaper model? Or is it Nurgle-ish?

Interested to see what it turns out to be

Grrr, !mrahil

This week's Rumour Engine got me puzzled:



It really feels like there is some photoshop gone wrong in this image...
Not sure what to make of it... a book and a staff?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[Imrahil]

Well what do we have here...



Another Lizard related Rumour Engine!!!!

The scales are a bit smaller and there are more of it than on a regular Saurus tail... will we get a new hero model?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

[MikkelangeloHD]

It feels a bit snakey to me. The tail doesn't really slim down that much and the striped pattern also reminds me of snakes. Coatl?

I want it to be something for Seraphon/Lizards, but I can see another 40K "Ha! Ha! Gotcha" coming. Unless Seraphon is one of the first armies to get a tome, this will take a while to reveal (if it is Seraphon).
