Rumour Engine 2023

I've added today's Rumour Engine:




Grrr, !mrahil

 

I had not added last weeks Rumour Engine, meanwhile it is already solved in the reveals of last Friday:





Quickest solve ever!

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Other solution revealed was of the Rumour Engine from the week before that:



22 February:


Grrr, !mrahil

 

I've added last week's and today's Rumour Engine:

7 March:


This looks 40K to me

14 March:


Ealfish arrows? Or are these different runes?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Those runes do look kind of elvish. Could they be from the upcoming Slaanesh book? They might be spears or ballista bolts?

 

Also from the reveals of Adepticon:



Solving
3 January:



Grrr, !mrahil

 

And from our beloved Seraphon reveals:



obviously solving one we all already thought to be for new Kroxigors
31 January:


And the last one:


solving
7 March:


Grrr, !mrahil

 

With all the excitement for Adepticon reveals I totally forgot to put this week's Rumour Engine up:



one big hammer, so Ealves ... probably Beastmen or Ogres

Grrr, !mrahil

 

That definitely looks like an Ogre weapon to me, if you look at the hammer-like weapons wielded by some of their existing models:






But I can't see why GW would release a new Ogre model soon when Ogres got their newest Battletome last year.

 

Hence my guess

It might be for Underworlds or Warcry tough

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Today's Rumour Engine:



Intresting... wil this be Orruk Warclans or some cult of Chaos? or something else?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Could be Ogres again, as those horns seem to be nailed onto meathooks which Ogres like to have with them, or it could be something Orcish.

 

These last two Rumors do give Ogre vibes. There are still two unrevealed battletomes left for summer and autumn.

 

Ogres already had theirs last year:


The only faction that has not had a 3rd Edition tome announced now is Flesh-Eater Courts, and surely GW would have announced theirs by now along with the rest?

I hope one of the unannounced tomes isn't Flesh-Eaters, because that would just build up unnecessary excitement.

 

Ask a Lumineth player about back-to-back battletomes. Lol. Or even how quickly Soulblight got a new tome.

But seriously, I had forgotten that Mawtribes was last year, so it's a fair point.

 

To be honest I'm not surprised that Vampires are getting their new one so soon, they're one of GW's favourite AoS factions.

I've just been cruising TGA's Rumour Thread and noticed that a fair few members have been chattering about FEC getting a large release as one of those unannounced Battletomes. I really hope this isn't true, not while Fyreslayers are in the greatest need of a second wave of all the AoS factions.

But then, Flesh Eaters are also Vampires, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if GW decide to piss me off by giving them priority.

 

This week's Rumour Engine is up:



It looks either Nighthaunt or Nurgle to me. What about you guys?

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Looks like a scythe to me.

 

Today's Rumour Engine:



It gives me some Idoneth Deepkin vibes or Tyranids without teeth/spikes

Grrr, !mrahil

 

Could definitely be either, but the larger, ridged tentacle plus the shots of at least one tentacled Tyranid in the 10th Edition announcement trailer certainly makes me think it'll be a servant of the Hive Mind!
