Grip It and Rip It With The Rumour Engine's New Bike Model

 August 31st saw the release of another Rumour Engine article over on the Warhammer Community, hinting at something ready to tear up some dirt. 

It doesn't take a PhD in engineering to work out that there is something automotive involved in this newly hinted model. Signs point to a new biker model for an unknown faction. 

Now, there are a few likely candidates for whom this sled might belong to. I am in the school of thought, along with most others in the community, that this is likely to be a release for the Genestealer Cults. Perhaps a new model character model to run alongside a couple units of Jackals? It would certainly make sense given their penchant for off-road vehicles and seizing of Imperial equipment.

On the flip-side, the large round riveted plate suggests something Mechanicus/Imperium to me. As Bolter and Chainsword user; DeadFingers pointed out over on this forum post, this particular aesthetic piece really is everywhere!

While, personally, I'd love to see a Primaris Captain on Bike, I doubt this would be it. Exposed springs don't strike me as very 'Space Marine'. Plus: Primaris Bikes have already found a strong foothold starting with the Outriders and working into the Primaris Chaplain on Bike.

Perhaps we'll find out, soon enough, what this mysterious motorized snapshot belongs to. Until then, thanks for reading!

Cheers,

Ryan
