The Rumor Engine has gone into Advent Mode. We’re on Day 2 of this wild ride so come see what’s coming in the future!

It’s 24 days of sneak peeks from Games Workshop thanks to the Rumor Engine’s new Advent Mode. You can check out the previous day’s sneak peek here. And now, let’s get to the new one!

“Welcome to the Advent Rumour Engine! As a Christmas gift, we’re revving up the Rumour Engine to offer a tantalising glimpse at future Warhammer models every day in the run up to Christmas. 

Take a look behind today’s window and join us on the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages to share your guesses. Then come back tomorrow for another mysterious image – and no cheating by trying to open a window early!”

Day 2

So what are we looking at here? Well, we’ve got a scroll and possibly a book or box under someone’s arm. Is that a hammer sigil on the box? It’s hard to tell but you can tell from the paint that it’s more metallic and shiny the the rest of the box. Also, who would use a scroll like that? The clothing is also curious – it almost looks like a robe. This one is a tough one to guess! I almost want to say it’s a new Hobbit sculpt, but GW did say these were from “future Warhammer models” so I suppose we’ll have to rule that one out.

In the meantime, what do you suppose this one is? Since we’re all guessing here, I’m going to go with a wizard. Maybe from the Cities of Sigmar?

They have a lot of different factions under one roof now and it would fit their style. Scrolls, books, and robes – that sounds like a wizard to me. But hey, that’s just a wild guess – if you’ve got one we’d love to hear it. Let us know what you think in the comments about this latest Advent Engine teaser!

 

Is it a book or a box? Maybe a box with books inside? Or a scroll case? Hmm…
