Games Workshop’s latest Rumor Engine will have you spinning your tires trying to figure out what it is!

Okay so maybe it’s not that dramatic. But it IS Tuesday which means we have a new picture/teaser from the future from Games Workshop. This one is…well, simple. But that doesn’t mean it’s an easy guess. Take a look for yourself.

“Divining the portents gifted to us by the Rumour Engine is a skill that takes years of practice, for the skeins of fate are fickle and Tzeentch has a nasty habit of showing us things that surely can’t be real. Try out your fortune-telling skills by seeking meaning in this most recent image.”

So yeah…it’s a tire. That doesn’t tell us too much. But this image does tell us quite a fet things. First up, we know it’s not from many of the Xenos races. Specifically, no Necron, Aeldari, or Drukhari. We’re not ruling out Orks because they do tend to swipe Imperial Tech. And this wheel sure looks Imperial.

Imperial also doesn’t rule out the Genestealer Cults. This wheel in particular does also looks similar to the dirt bikes of the Atalan Jackals. But it’s inside a wheel well which is interesting.

This also doesn’t rule out Chaos who has a penchant for Imperial gear…only with more spikes. The lack of spikes on the wheels makes me believe this has a high probability of not being Chaos Marine.

The Astra Militarum is also not cleared from this one. Although, they mostly stick to treads. So perhaps it’s something new for them that uses wheels.

It could also be something for the Space Marines, too. They have lots of wheels on their bikes and ATVs, so it’s not completely out of the ordinary for them. Although, they do prefer beefy wheels.

So what do you think? What could this tire be a part of? If you’ve got ideas we’d love to see them in the comments – that’s the fun of the Rumor Engine afterall.

 

It’s a Tire! Nailed it.
