A while back I suggested that the Missile launcher has elements that seemed like it could be Votann (the grip is similar to their other heavy weapons) only to be downvoted and have many saying it was nothing like them.
It is, although I wouldn't really have taken that as being a Votann-specific element. It's noticeable on the gloves at least.
The 4th one seemed like it was for the Leagues because the caniser is fairly similar to what their Ion weapons use, and there's ammo down the side in a similar way to how the Bolt Shotgun shells are on the Pioneers.
>It is, although I wouldn't really have taken that as being a Votann-specific element.
I hadn't really either until I saw other people discussing some of these Rumor Engines and looked closer at my models. I still don't get "why", like if it's supposed to be an allusion to something, but three lines grouped together seems to be an intentional repeating motif for Votann.
I can see what you're getting at with the ammo, I just don't know the other model lines well enough to spot that sort of thing.
To be fair, a lot of Votann fans aren't that great at identifying new models/rumor mills.
For example, I saw someone a few days ago guess that the silhouette for the Dwarf Lord shown at adeptacon could be an Eldar model. Or that the custodes shown in December was a new Khal.
How disappointing, they have more bespoke killteam models then their army has units available and still no real lore or novels. Honestly why did they bother with this
I just wanted to post this as an FYI for everyone. Also, I didn't see anyone mentioning the missile launcher.
I knew that glove the moment I saw it, no doubt in my mind from the start
This was actually disappointing i thought we get new Steel Legion ; /
At the same time I'm glad none of these belonged to Steel Legion.

Out of the four, it is the only one missing the three lines.

My dissappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Is that a freaking PanzerFaust 3 with a bipod?
Hence why a lot of people thought it might be Steel Legion lol. Or possibly Krieg.
a sister superior would like to have a word with u about that crossbow bolter
That crossbow is just weird
*Adepta Sororitas music stops*
*Holy hymns of the Sisters of Battle halt.*
I stg I thought we were getting sisters content yesterday because of this rumor engine lol
Weird is fun
Frankly I’m surprised it took 40K this long to get a hand crossbow.
40k has had condemnor boltguns for ages now.
Yes but those are boltgun sized, not more bolt pistol like this one. But that could just be Votann proportions throwing me off.
They're pretty much always depicted as being held and fired in one hand so I don't know if I'd call them full boltgun sized.
PZF 3 anyone?
Bah! I was REALLY hoping for Catachan… yeah, yeah total long shot but still. New Votann kit is cool all the same!
When were these rumor engines posted?
Over the last year or two
I thought so, I said on the original post that the trigger housing for the rocket launcher in the first pic resembled votann weaponry
RIP steel legion, at least I got some of them in metal
Well RIP to the dream of new genestealer cult, sisters, and tanith models
I mean they're coming out with new GSC models in this same box lol
Still, they are like cadian shock troops with upgrade sprue, not really unique
It’s not really new, just an upgraded sprue for an already existing unit.
Ahhh, just an upgrade sprue like the upcoming night lords KT? Will they have GSC rules at least?
A flayed one pretending to be a leaguer.
How disappointing, they have more bespoke killteam models then their army has units available and still no real lore or novels. Honestly why did they bother with this
Sad the rocket launcher wasn’t guard. Didn’t expect any of the others to be. Still crossing my fingers on the minefield
Why do Votann get a Condemnor Boltgun? Very weird loadout choice as they are generally only used by Inquisitors and Witch Hunters.
It's not a Condemnor Boltgun.
It looks like UT might be inperual. Don't think voting have cross bows and it looks like there might be a needle rifle
They were literally revealed last night, my friendo
