There’s a new Rumor Engine out from Games Workshop and it looks a whole lot like a Realmshaper Engine Orb. We could be wrong though.

Sometimes Games Workshop comes out with Rumor Engines that are so spot on that we think we’ve figured it out. But then we start saying, “it can’t be that easy…can it?” And then the second guessing comes in and we start doubting our gut. This is the case today. Have a look for yourself and you let us know what you think.

“Open the Hallowed Operator’s Manual, turn to page 57, and read from the Canticle of the Troubleshooting Guide, for the Rumour Engine is once again rattling like the Parable of the Brick in the Washing Machine.”

So here we have the Rumor Engine in question. It’s got some pretty telltale signs of what it is, too. From the carvings around the outside to the orb in the middle and the bolts of energy coursing through things…it sure looks a LOT like something we’ve seen before.

This is the Realmshaper Engine. It’s the Seraphon terrain piece and as you can see above a lot of this matches right up. However, there are some key differences. For starters the Realmshaper Engine is a bit more free floating with those carvings. The bolts of energy seem less contained than the Rumor Engine above.

It kind of reminds me of the Astrolith Bearer’s Icon. Without all the skulls anyhow. This Rumor Engine seems like it’s somewhere in the middle of both. That begs the question then: What the heck is this for?! If it’s indeed a new Seraphon teaser can we expect some new kits for them in the future? That opens up some cool possibilities as well!

This Rumor Engine might be pretty straight forward — at least at first. But this is a good teaser for sure. If you’ve got guesses let us know what you think it could be in the comments!

 

Could this be the Eye of Chotec that all the warbands in the new Season of Warcry are fighting over?!
