Games Workshop: Advent Engine Day 13 – ‘The Fuse Is Lit’
Games Workshop has lit the fuse with the latest Advent Engine. The question is what happens when it goes BOOM.
Welcome to the Advent Engine! It’s that special time of year when Games Workshop’s teaser department kicks into overdrive and we get the Advent Engine every day for (almost) a month! I hope you’re feeling lucky on day 13 because we’ve got a bit of a bomb situation with this image. But don’t take my word for it — see it for yourself.
“The Advent Engine sure knows how to make a blast, and today’s image certainly looks like it could do that… but we re-fuse to speculate further.”
Advent Engine The Fuse Is Lit
It’s pretty clear we’ve got a fuse that’s burning down into a crude looking bomb. Or at least it’s a pretty safe bet it’s a bomb. Anyhow, based on the rough and beaten metal and the bolts, my gut is telling me this is an Orky creation. Or should I say Orruky?
Could this be a nod to even more Hobgrots coming to the Age of Sigmar? They do have explosives. And those explosives are bolted together. That’s certainly one way GW could expand that arm of the Kruleboyz range. But let’s not put this one past other members of the Orruk Warclans either.
But they aren’t even the only faction that would use an implement like this. The roughshod craftsmanship could also be from the sneaky Skaven, too.
The are also fans of things that go BOOM. And beaten metal is certainly in their wheelhouse as well. They are pretty ingenious inventors as well and have been pretty quiet lately. That’s probably a bad sign, right?
This could also easily be something from the Gobbos in 40k, too. I wouldn’t put a bomb like this past them either. So while I might be leaning a bit heavy on the Orks with this one it really could be from either universe.
But that’s where you come in. If you’ve got any ideas where this bomb could be from drop us a line in the comments. We’re going to have to wait until next year (at minimum) to find out anyhow!

If the gobbos didn’t light the fuse then who did?
