Games Workshop Rumor Engine: Never Skip Leg Day
The Games Workshop Rumor Engine is here and it’s showing us a little leg. The real question is who’s leg are they showing?
Welcome to another Tuesday and a brand new Rumor Engine from Games Workshop. Today’s image is pretty straight forward. But that doesn’t make it a simple answer. You probably should have a look before we continue.
We have been advised that implying our acolytes are fed paint is against a breathtaking number of regulations, so to make sure the powers that be understand that we definitely do not under any circumstances do that, we present some actual real food. Well not actual food, it’s a plastic miniature, but you know what we mean.
Rumor Engine – Never Skip Leg Day
So what do we have here? Well, this is very clearly an animal’s leg. The paint job also looks like it’s got fur details painted on. Initially, I thought this could be a deer or buck of some sort. We’ve seen GW do something similar before with some of the elves from old Warhammer Fantasy range.
Wild Riders from the old Wood Elf range are a good example of this. It could also be a horse as well. There are plenty of examples of those in Warhammer Fantasy and AoS of calvary on horseback.
The Freeguld Cavalier-Marshal’s mount even has similar fur painted on, too. But those are just examples. GW’s has also been moving away from non-humans riding regular horses. So maybe that’s not a horse leg either. In fact, it does seem to be a little shorter, proportionally, than a mount’s limb. What if it’s not a mount at all?
Beastmen are a thing in both 40k, AoS, and the Old World. However, their army has been removed from AoS and put back into the Old World. Could this be a sign of a new sculpt coming to the Old World for the Beastmen?
It’s hard to tell! But that’s the entire point of the teasers from the Rumor Engine. So if you’ve got any theories be sure to drop them in the comments and let us know what you think it could be.
We do still have Tzaangors and Slaangors in AoS…
