Another Rumor Engine is here from Games Workshop. Take a look at this new teaser and help us figure out what we’re all looking at!

It’s another stumper from GW. We’re clearly looking at some armored plates but that’s not the question. The real mystery is who’s armored plates are we looking at?!

The Rumour Engine has fired up again and it’s all ridges, bolts and a most peculiar shape. What could this be?

This reminds me of a scorpion’s chitinous hide. Maybe it’s because of all the times I watched Clash of the Titans as a kid. Scorpions man…ANYWAYS. What sort of creatures would have this type of armor or hide? This could easily be for either AoS or 40k…or both!

Slaanesh would be a strong contender here. We know that they are going to be involved in a few different things – like Wrath & Rapture:

You didn’t forget about this one, did ya!?

And we did see that new beastie coming from GW:

It’s got claws and maybe this is just the beginning…

But Slaanesh isn’t the only force that uses bug-like appendages.

More beetles on the way? That’s a possibility!

Now one other possibility is that this could be something intimating an organic shape. GW’s teaser text did say “all ridges, bolts and a most peculiar shape.” If those are actual bolts and not just natural divots in the armor then maybe this is manufactured armor. Kinda makes me wonder what faction would be making and wearing that type armor. What if it’s something we haven’t seen before – something new altogether!
