GW Rumor Engine: Whip It Good
Games Workshop’s Rumor Engine is here – time to whip it into shape and figure out what the heck we’re looking at!
It’s that time of the week and Games Workshop’s Rumor Engine. Are you ready to take a crack at what this week’s preview is?
“Give guessing what this week’s Rumour Engine is your best shot: Worked it out?”
Hmm…either Indiana Jones went for an upgrade or some new model is going to be rocking a “Cat o’three(?) tails” – regardless there are quite a few faction in 40k and Age of Sigmar known to use whips in combat.
The Bloodthirster is a big proponent of whipping folks into a frenzy – maybe this new weapon is Khorne related. There is also the Bloodstoker who (still) doesn’t have a stand-alone kit available:
Skaven are also known to whip it out – plus those tails could double as whips, too:
Oh and then there is a whole other chaos faction that is into that whole “pain for pleasure” vibe too:
That’s not all either, but let’s hop over to 40k for a minute. You know who was into flagellating things? Sisters Repentia.
Neural Whips are a thing they use…maybe they are looking for a way to become more efficient with a 3-pronged approach. Arco-flagellants are also into that type of thing, however, they don’t seem to be using leather whips:
But hey, if the Sisters ARE getting a new codex, I’m sure the models are going to get a tweak or two as well…
Tyranids are also into that whole “whip” thing – although that teaser doesn’t really match their aesthetic. But hey, maybe they ate a planet that was really into leather.
So what do you think? AoS? 40k? What faction would be using a whip? Also – what if it’s NOT a whip!? The possibilities are out there! Let us know in the comments.
