GW Rumor Engine: Batten Down The Hatches
Games Workshop’s latest Rumor Engine is out for your perusal. Come take a guess if you dare!
That was way more dire sounding than it needed to be – it’s just a new Rumor Engine after-all. Speaking of which check it out:
The Rumour Engine cares not how you pronounce GIF, for its sorcerous images are sent from the future in an unknown file format!
Alright folks, time to start your speculation! For starters, this certainly looks like it’s got a Grimdark origin vs something from AoS – unless the Kharadron Overlords are involved. It also looks like it could be a socket or joint of some type. I don’t think it’s T’au – they typically don’t have “bolts” in their battlesuits. It doesn’t look like it’s Tyranid, Ork, Necron, or Aledari either. My gut tells me that it’s either Chaos or Imperial.
It’s somewhat reminiscent of the joints you might see on a Defiler:
However, I think if this had be something from Chaos, you might have seen more “Chaosy” iconography inside the “hatch” area. Because of that, I’m leaning toward something Imperial in nature. For example, what if it’s not a joint, but perhaps a powersupply for a back-pack or an ammo-feed?
Or perhaps something BIGGER – like a Dreadnought?
There are lots of things it could be – but here’s another curve ball: What if it’s part of the Imperium, but we got the wrong Adeptus? Like say it’s from the Adeptus Mechanicus?
It’s fit a lot of the same requirements – Bolts, Cogs, and either a joint of some type or energy core/ammo feed. Furthermore, we know that the Ad Mech is getting a new transport soon – what else could they be in store for? Could they be in line to get a new terrain kit, too? Maybe this bit is part of that kit? Interesting, no?
Well Internet – I’m leaving this one up to you to solve. What do you think? Let us know in your best guess in the comments!
