rokapoke Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 @Double Misfire, it's a Skaven tail, for my money. ... which undoubtedly means it's not Skaven, as I have no illusions of my ability to guess these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth_Hobo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Skaven Shadespire model was my first thought, but that tail doesn't look much like a typical rat tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingwalnut Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Beast of Nurgle tail? I dunno, looks like it has scales to it...and those spindly things around look like tendrils or veins. Maybe the Nids are getting a new toy? Though, haven't heard of them getting new toys and we are SUPER close to their release. Other AoS guess is it is a shell thing for a undersea monster...ya know, for Cthulu Aelves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarch Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I think it’s one of those bases that form part of the model to support a character when they are floating or mid air. I reckon the horn/hook is like a weapon of someone doing a summersault or similar. was thinking tenebral shard esque... but that’s probably reaching.

BobbyB Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Definitely looks like nurgling hands, but not sure about the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasygeek Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) This one is easy. It's very clearly one of those heresy chaos stormcasts that has been floating around the rumour wells of the internet. The veins are nurgle friendly, so is the horn. The scaly armour is a typical Khorne fashion thing and the smiling bird beak at the top is a Tzeentch emoticon. Watch out sigmar boys! Archaon Stormcasts are ready to armwrestle... On the other hand. If I turn my head a bit it actually looks like a big ham. Edited October 24, 2017 by Greasygeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turragor Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) The text snippets that come with these are absolutely part of the fun: Quote Riding into view like an ancient hero atop some kind of flying machine, the Rumour Engine is here, with a particularly cryptic instalment. What could it possibly be? So for my money you've got 'ancient hero', 'cryptic' - it's undead. Flying machine though? That image has an insectoid look about it. Undead riding animated husks of insects? Think of WoW 'nerubian' which, funnily enough, are often named crypt lords or crypt fiends.

Siorra Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 All I see is a fat T-Rex holding his belly while he serenades the tail of a Brontosaurus. So, Seraphon confirmed? 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) The rock looks a lot like the scales here. I think it’s a bit of ruin with vines on it, with a tail attached. Not a skaven tail, rat tails are ridged, not smooth like that. Edited October 25, 2017 by Still-young 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trayanee Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Are there any AOS releases rumoured till the end of year? I mean something new or at least Blightwar-esque with a few new minis? I started follwing AOS a few months ago and it seems to me that the first half of the year was pretty rich when it comes to new stuff while in the second one there is just Shadespire which is really a different game and doesnt bring much to AOS itself.

Malin Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 More new rumors and stuff will be shown at Blood and Glory event in around 2 weeks time. There are GW seminars on new releases scheduled there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 My speculation is, ts a pine cone, zoomed in. As to what it could be if it were a pine cone, Sylvaneth, would be odd as they are a rather fleshed out and new faction. Forest Goblins or Aelf Wanderr seem to be the mor elikely...or something else entirley not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjarni St. Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Short answer is no. Nurgle release has seemed inevitable for a long time and new Beasts of Nurgle, based on the new art from 40k, seem to be coming along with the ever-rumoured GUO kit. I would guess that these will coincide with an aos book. There's no timeline. Only other thing that's accepted to be in the pipeline is 'Cthulhu Elves.' We expected them to be out by now but it's all been quiet on that front. Maybe they'll have something at BnG. 11 minutes ago, Trayanee said: Are there any AOS releases rumoured till the end of year?

BobbyB Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Army releases tend to wind down at the end of the year so I would expect nothing substantial till the new year and then a lot of action as the focus shifts back to AoS. As above will probably be done news from b&g about what that will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Outside of new armies, have their been any rumors of "Battleforce" boxes or something similar for the holiday season?

Rogue Explorator Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 That tail in the rumor engine really reminds me of the tails and tentakles on horrors, but the rest does not really look like a Tzeentchian base design. Still, might be a tease of Shadespire Tzeentch? Other than that, I say Malerion, just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit/ you know like this kinda thing: A Nerubian-esque faction would be FANTASTIC! We don't have an insect BASED faction (Spiderfang is the closest...), and it is a cool theme. This last rumor pic really does give me some serious insect vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
