This week's Rumour Engine is more than likely 40k, but posting for prosperity and the off chance it somehow ends up AoS. Maybe Skaven get a new gun... yes I'm reaching.

Man, these new FEC models are getting weird.

There have been several rumour engines that are definitely Kroot. They've already had a kill team so the only logical conclusion is an Ironjawz sized addition to the Tau range. Aside from Exodites, a return of the Empire part of Tau is the most likely thing to tempt me back to 40k.

Yes one of the leg rumour engines heavily rumoured to be that of new vespids as well.

True feet connoisseurs know that none of rumour engines resemble vespids so far but I hope they'll be released too.

They have like 5 or 6 rumors that seem like kroot, which seems like a lot. 

My top guess is that the krootox will turn into a large calvary unit? Would explain the bows and guns we have seen so far. All three other kroot units got a refresh from the kill team box as well, so it could be new units as well!

Valrak has been throwing out vespids for the next round of kill team...... so maybe!!!!

Why so many models and strong monsters in AOS 3.0, could 3.0 be the last edition with greatest models, and then they would bring back new endless spells and wizards for 4.0 ???

Any rumour about Greed champion of Slaanesh

Hope to see Mawpit, Monsta-Killaz, Lorai - Child of the Abyss warscrolls

New Carry Case.

Quote

Unlike previous cases – lidded with foam inserts – the Stormvault Skirmish Case is designed differently. Both halves of its interior are lined with silicone bristles to hold your miniatures in place. They’re spaced to hold miniatures on Citadel Round Bases between 25mm and 40mm, and can even accommodate cavalry and bikers on oval bases up to 75mm.

When you close the case, these smooth bristles flex to accommodate your miniatures, ensuring that the thinnest spear or most delicate pennant won’t get snagged, or feel any pressure.

The Stormvault Skirmish Case is designed to be opened flat on a table, with rubber backing to each half providing extra grip. There’s less chance of you accidentally knocking it off the table, or pushing it over and squashing some unfortunate miniatures.

When you’re done playing, close the case and seal it with the four clips located around the edge. The case itself measures 278mm x 220mm x 41.5mm, which makes it the right size to bag up for an evening game.

Quote

The Stormvault Skirmish Case will replace the bulkier Citadel Skirmish Figure Case when it is released, leaving the Citadel Battle Figure Case and Citadel Crusade Figure Case for your heavy duty transport.

Ehh, i dunno about this one. Carry cases with metal sheathing on the various floors allow you to store a higher quantity of miniatures and they won't move and inch as long as you have a decent magnet underneath them.

Maybe these cases are more beginner friendly, but with how detailed minis are these days I just don't see the advantage with these new ones.

There may come a day when GW discovers magnets, but it is not this day.

A day may come when the Workshop of Games discovers magnets,
when they forsake their paint pots
and break all paintbrush contracts,
but it is not this day.

An hour of new logistics and shattered moulds,
when the age of 2011 pots comes crashing down,
but it is not this day!

This day we sell!
By all that you hold dear, in these good margins,
I bid you stand, men of the stocks!

[Vasshpit]

@Asbestress So good!🤣

[Black_Templar_Lad]

I know the cases will have gone through product testing (I imagine), but they look like one brisk shake will strip your minis back down to grey plastic. I'll wait for reviews.

Ooh, I took it as Krox(igors).

[Grunbag]

So we will have only 4 Battleforce , or we only know 4 yet and more will come ?

[Mutton]

I feel like they could have just released a box with a thin metal metallic sheet on the bottom and it would have been 10x better than this high-falutin iron maiden.

Indeed, nothing beats magnets for mini transportation… dunno why GW doesn‘t want to be reasonable there unless…

 

They also employ the worst paint pots in existence… so they want your paints to dry out faster and have you rebuy them more often than you should… I figure a hedgehog-case for your precious minis that ruins them faster than they‘d get damaged otherwise is the creation of the same evil minds!

 

the only question I can‘t answer - why use silicone, when those spikes could dremel heads for maximum ruination of all minis?

It is clearly another FEC one.

I initially thought it was some sort of torture chamber for miniatures.

[Greyshadow]

Neodymium magnets are really, really dangerous if ingested. It’s illegal to sell them as toys in Australia. I think this is the main reason GW go for other solutions.
