The Rumour Engine is back – and it’s got something exciting to show us:

Skulls for the Skull Throne! Wait…no, this one reeks of “Holy Emperor” in stead of “Mighty Khorne” scent. If I had to guess we’re looking at something for a Chaplin, a holy relic for either 40k or AoS, or perhaps something more sinister like Death Guard. Lots of factions use this type of imagery (skulls are a thing in the Grim-Dark and AoS). So my initial gut reaction reminds me of this:
