Games Workshop Rumor Engine: ‘Needs More Sword’

2 Minute Read
Jun 7 2022

Forget cowbell. The Games Workshop Rumor Engine is bringing you ‘More Sword’ today!

It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for a brand new Rumor Engine from Games Workshop. This new one is interesting in a “it’s gonna cut someone” sort of way. Take a look and see for yourself.

“It’s been a struggle getting much out of the Rumour Engine this week, as it turns out that even this strange prediction-engine is feeling overwhelmed by the upcoming Warhammer: The Horus Heresy release. After five or so kicks to the cogitator, it spluttered to life and gave us… this.”

Needs More Sword

We’ve got a sword! This one doesn’t look like it’s of the “Power Sword” variety either. If I had to guess, I’d say that pegs us squarely in the Mortal Realms of Age of Sigmar. That studded glove is also a clue. It doesn’t look particularly large or non-humanoid. And the make of the Sword seems well done and not ramshackle. So Orruks and Ogors are probably out.

Not really the Orruk’s schtick.

The hand isn’t armored either. So I’d rule out the Stormcasts. And it’s not beefy enough to be Fyreslayers either. Clearly not a Seraphon or Sylvaneth arm — unless they are getting some really wildly new unit.

Cloth armor isn’t really their thing.

It could be a new vampire. And if the Daughters of Khaine didn’t get a new book so recently I would have guessed maybe them — or an assassin. It could be a Slaanesh thing as they have a thing for studs.

Not saying it’s Slaangors, but they do have random studs on their clothes.

Yeah, this one’s a mystery! If you’ve got an ideas we’d love to read them in the comments. That is the fun of the Rumor Engine afterall!

 

What do you think this one could be? It’s a Sword Mystery!
