Games Workshop has a new Rumor Engine teaser today. It is incredibly fancy. Check it out…

The rumour engine continues to grind on – get your detective hats on and see if you can work out what this week’s glimpse at the future might mean!

This looks real fancy, whatever it is. It could maybe be a sword or some kind of power device–but something about the cylindrical shape in the center of it makes me think of the Ad-Mech. That filigree looks about like their style as well, which makes me wonder if it’s some kind of weird tesla gun, or a taser lance variant or something:

It kinda looks a bit like their taser goads. But it reminds me even more of the stocks on the rifles the Skitarii Rangers carry:

YOu can especially see the design echoed a little in the bottom right there. But they’re not the only ones who get fancy like that. I could just as easily see this being some kind of Kharadron Overlords (or some other dwarven style) gun. Maybe part of an Age of Sigmar’d-up wheellock pistol:

They are kinda in the middle of Shadespire season right now, and we know there are even more warbands coming for that–so is this a sign that we’ll be seeing some Kharadron fighters show up, or maybe soome of the Scourge Privateers or some of the other vaguely-pirate factions are going to get a new release here in the new future. I don’t know–but that’s why it’s up to you, the world’s greatest Internet Detective Agency to figure out what this is.

So hit us with your best shot–what is this thing? A pistol, a sword, newly repaired pinky on an Imperator Titan?

It’s time to take your feet off the desk, finish off that last slug of whiskey, and take the case.
