Games Workshop Rumor Engine: Boots On The Ground
The other shoe has dropped from Games Workshop with this brand new Rumor Engine image. Someone is marching to war.
Welcome to another Tuesday Rumor Engine from Games Workshop. This one is in that special category of “yep, we know what it is, but we don’t know what army it’s from.” Confused? You won’t be after taking a look at the image:
“There’s something afoot in this week’s rumour engine…
… that’s it. That’s the joke. Whose hoof is this?”
Rumor Engine – Boots On The Ground
Clearly, we’re looking at a foot. Or a boot, rather. Looking at that design, I’m at a loss. I’m not sure exactly what army that’s from. I think we can rule out most of the Xenos armies.
My first guess was Leagues of Votann, but those boots don’t line up. Then I thought maybe it was T’au, but that’s another nope…
What about the Imperial side of the house? Well, those aren’t Custodes boots. Or Sororitas. And we all know what the Space Marine boots look like — that ain’t it.
Even some of the more “leathery” options don’t fit. The Ad Mech don’t fit those, and neither do the Astra Militarum units.
I actually think the Ogryns were closer to those boots, but they were also not a match. So what if we’re looking at the wrong system entirely? Could this be from Age of Sigmar? Well, that’s certainly a possibility! But that’s also a big range, and I’m not seeing any of those armies jump out at me. What if this is related to something very different? Maybe something Old World?
It’s probably not the Grand Army of Cathay. I think I still need to do a lot more digging still but I’m out of ideas. So this is where I’m kicking it over to you! If you’ve got any clues as to who’s foot is in that boot drop us a line in the comments. There’s still a lot of options out there I haven’t sifted through yet. Good luck and happy hunting!
I wasn’t planning on spending my day looking at the boots of miniatures. But here we are.
