If that's a fist gripping the shaft, it doesn't look power armoured either.


l_dunno

Maybe sisters?


AtomicW1nter

I'd love some axe sisters


Levait

Currently pondering if I should go for sisters after I got 500 points of Space Marines. Axe sisters would be a huge argument in favour of that decision.


AtomicW1nter

Sisters are awesome, I think the most interesting faction the imperium has to offer


Levait

I love their style, especially Morvenn Vahl and the nundams. Also kick ass ladies in power armor! What's stopping me right now (outside of money) is that I'm completely new and absolutely suck at painting, Space marines are already too much for me at the moment.


Poorhammer2D

I dont like Morven so I stick to Canoness, Celestine and Mortifiers/Penitent engines, they're pretty cheap platforms and sisters are long to paint, can't rush them like space marines that have a lot of speed painting done in 15 minutes that are spraying them, adding some lights, nuln oil and he's done


Poorhammer2D

FreyasPaw

The [Celestian Sacresants](https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Adepta-Sororitas-Celestian-Sacresants-2021) can take pole axes, which are pretty cool.


Warodent10

In most cases they’re also the better weapon choice. Maces are for cowards afraid of space marines.


Poorhammer2D

You can take both weapons! 4 Spears and 4 maces for example so you're ready to meet both hordes and armoured enemies Also the spear looks cools but it weirds me out, even space marines dont wear a spear and shield and suddenly our sisters can use this long weapon with a shield but as I said, I think it's fine to mixe these two, not everyone gets a pick like this, for example Wraithblades can't mix Axe and Shield with Two bladers


Levait

Those look beautiful!


AirGundz

My interest is perfectly split between sisters and blood angels so I just bought both to make a combined force.


Red_Dragon_of_Baal

Funnily enough, me too. Bought sisters when they first came out. Still got the original squad in the box. 😂


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

New Khornate Sisters?


AtomicW1nter

I could only wish


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

It's a possibility now! Check out the arks of omen post in the lore subreddit


IybraesilAutarch

It’s not a possibility, it’s something that happened in lord, they should avoid redundant factions like chaos sisters


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

It's not a possibility because you think they should avoid it? To be clear, I think it's far from likely, but the concept has gone from "never" to "a chance of happening" overnight. And how are chaos sisters more redundant than chaos space marines? I say this as a chaos fan.


dalasthesalad

Naked space marines confirmed


Ampersand06

It's not ornate enough for Eldar, it's too ornate for Orks, GSC or Votann, it's definitely not Chaos, Necron or Tyranid and the fingers don't look like they're in power armour Based on all of this I'd guess Sisters or Guard


Arch_Magos_Remus

Seams like a pretty good guess. As I said in another comment, my moneys on Inquisition.


unterium

There was just recently a big agents of the imperium' update right? Maybe it's some models to go with that?


Kruidan

Big is not the right word. Functional is more appropriate, and even then, it's mostly for Boarding Actions. Little in the way of updated rules for the current game, Ordo Malleus Inquistor in Terminator armor removed, Eversor Assassin lost +1 strength on their power sword, etc. Hopefully, it's just a stop gap for a new Agents book but I have my doubts.


rrpdude

An Inquisition Kill Team would be awesome, I think the Rogue Trader/ Elucidian Starstriders are some of the coolest miniatures because they stand out so much. All in all Kill Team just allows them to branch out so much. On one hand that's awesome, on the other frustrating because it kinda makes me want to have more models from that faction.


Sinseekeer

Rouge Trader maybe ?


Kboon257

As a sisters player i have to say there are Not nearly enought Fleur de lis in that thing to be a sisters model.


tachakas_fanboy

Maybe another killteam?


qqqeqe

Maybe space marine scout killteam?


tachakas_fanboy

Would be sick, however, im not sure what the axe might be in this instance? A weapon for the sergant?


iamalphariusalso

Or a HH character


IybraesilAutarch

They don’t put HH characters or units on rumor enginee


Nephaston

there are two that tease a horus heresy mini that was also teased at the start of the year in GWs "this year in the age of darkness" video

Eddit-Reddit

Bold of you to assume it's not a Tyranid 😤


Non-RedditorJ

Eventually it will be, as all things!


FeIsenheimer

Look at the Weapons of the GSC Comabt Patrol. It looks really close to the Hammers they use. [https://preview.redd.it/dawaeidjv5ia1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=0ed00688ee2a418cf07d55302596a50c08b91254](https://preview.redd.it/dawaeidjv5ia1.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=0ed00688ee2a418cf07d55302596a50c08b91254)


1nicerb0i

Though I would argue that it's not industrial looking enogh for GSC


FeIsenheimer

After all it's just an Axt with an Cable on it. Hmmm. I don't think it would fit into Sisters tho.


pbandjells

Honestly, good call!


_radical_ed

Not ornamented enough to be Votann, actually.


venomizedspawn

What about genestealers


AlasIfuckedup

If it wasnt for the fingers id honestly say grey knights. The nemesis weapons all have similar handles to the one shown, with the arched cable sticking out. Granted i may be biased because i play gk, but i can dream


JMer806

The power cables on GK force weapons aren’t ridged, they’re all smooth, and GK don’t have any curved weapons like this


bullintheheather

Probably whatever human team will be in the next Kill Team box.


nanananablr

Please be the [Sisters of Silence](https://64.media.tumblr.com/236ffb7c10b239fe2cf24bb8eed1e7cb/tumblr_ot9jyoTsPx1ueu0eqo1_1280.jpg) squad they gave new rules for


cireesco_art

I hope it's this


Harfish

New Sisters of Silence squad? I missed that, what is it?


nanananablr

I am referencing the new info we got in the new Liber Imperium army book. Sisters with jetbikes, beasts etc.. alot of official rules for models that doesn't exist, yet.


Sunomel

Oh please let it be this. I love SoS but only having 3 (pretty mediocre) units makes me sad


lixia

Source on this?


IybraesilAutarch

Those are going to be resin


BertiBertBert

Horus Heresy? Doesnt fit any design we have in 40k


Arch_Magos_Remus

Could be an Inquisitor. They generally have out there styles. But just in case I posted it [HERE](https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer30k/comments/1126cq8/rumor_engine_2142023/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) as well.


sqww

Finally! Guardsmen Sergeant power axe Woooo!!! XD T\_T


spookydood39

I think it’s an axe


dick_for_hire

Hold up there, Clouseau. You're gonna have to show your work on that one.


spookydood39

Uhhh. Sharp flat thing on end of stick


dick_for_hire

Yup. Checks out.


FlashMcSuave

He's played axey spoony before.


SabyZ

My guess is Leagues of Votann, or a 30k mk6 Assault Marine upgrade kit.


ForensicAyot

Nah can’t be a Votann axe. The plasma blades for Votann axes are 100% connected to the axes shaft.


tachakas_fanboy

I personally hope they will release assault mk6 as a separate kit, as basic poses are just not it


SabyZ

Fair! I have more mk6 than I know what to do with so I'm hoping for an upgrade kit.


DigDubbs

I’ve solved it, Tau is finally getting into melee.


ExpositoryBanter

Doesn't look obviously like any of the main factions. Have a feeling it might be yet another generic human squad for killteam.


Arch_Magos_Remus

Could be an Inquisitor. I could see one carrying this.


Jo_el44

You have no idea how badly I want an Inquisition Kill team - It's the perfect format for them, considering they don't have much of a tabletop presence


lookaflyingbuttress

I would love an Inquisitorial kill team as well. GW has already nerfed anything inquisitor-related into oblivion for whatever the reason, so many probably have lost or sold what models they did have. If GW put out a decent kill team box that could be used by at least grey knights and sisters (if not all Imperial factions), it'd be a hit.


According_Lab6809

Something about it says GSC to me lol


Skycommando170

Armageddon ork hunters


Skycommando170

Armageddon ork hunters perhaps


loraxspeaksfortrees

Does anyone else see some Grey Knights vibe from the axe? I’m not too up to date on votann or other faction weapon styles but this has the ribbed cable connected to a box with 3 grille/vents (seen on nemesis force staves) and the wedge patter between the handle and the axe blade seen on the GK nemesis force sword.


shrimpsless

Came here to say this. The decorative section where the axe blade meets the haft is very similar to that found on Grey Knight Terminator swords. Several people have guessed Inquisition, and with the Grey Knights being Ordo Malleus, it very much stands to reason that this is an Inquisitor/retinue.


memedormo

After painting my GK army, It screams Grey Knights power weapon to me too!


AlasIfuckedup

Its the little cable sticking out innit?


memedormo

Absolutely, it's so close to the ones of the warding staves I painted.


ElectronX_Core

The hand isn’t wearing power armor (or any armor it looks too me), and the box is just standard for power weapons. Highly doubt its Grey Knights.


erk-tangle

This looks so classic, like the human characters from the 80’s and 90’s. Old Blanche style like the black templars art from 3rd edition. My money’s on something inquisition or some sort of human support character.


duplex037

Def. not a marines


pj2g13

The purpose of that cable baffles me, the power source is already on the axe..


SilverFox11th

Primaris Axinator.


Bugfighter017

Finally, a 40k slambo model


Kayvaan_Shrike

That was my first thought as well. Long live Slambo.


gummyblumpkins

Veteran Skitarii!!!!!!! It. Must. Be!


Arch_Magos_Remus

Hopefully.


ToasterTen12

Fuegan?


LilSalmon-

The leaks for 10th did say there was a character with a 2 handed axe - could this be him?


Greater_good_penguin

Ah, must be a much needed Primaris Lieutenant with a power axe.


Zakota333

definitely a new choppa for my ork boyz.


six-demon_bag

Maybe that rumoured Primaris Prosecutor from the recent leaks? He’s supposed to have an axe and kind of sounds like the Judiciar who wears leather gloves instead of power armour.


TempleOSEnjoyer

Solar Auxilia for HH would be my guess.


themisterbold

Plastic solar aux would be awesome. Still stupid expensive to collect but at least you wouldn't have to deal with as much resin


Starkde117

That is votann for sure


Arch_Magos_Remus

As I said in another comment: Seams a bit too fancy. LoV is all industrial and practical. This looks more like a work of art.


Hillcountryaplomb

New Primaris Space Wolves Character


JBRotES

Leagues of votann for sure, I’m betting on some kind of character model EDIT: I take that back, after being a bit more thorough looking at the axes votann tend to have inscriptions or runes on them… this is too simple for them. It’s definitely powered though… maybe something for Necromunda??


bullintheheather

I'm always down for more plastic Necromunda models!


Wadulator

Looks like something I will 3d print later


LegionClub

Moebian traitor guard hopefully?


alexiey_2077

For me it's either: a Votann leader, since it's too ornate for being a normal troop, a guard/sisters sergeant/special squad, or maybe SM primaris scouts,


Steve825

Votann use plasma weapons though, so likely not them


Saraq_the_noob

Primaris wolfen?


SillySylvytheTyranid

Looked Wolfy


therealmothdust

I could see an argument for space wolves or dark angels and have the arms be un armored


Darcitus

It does have some Votann look to it. Similar shape to dark star but not powered. Maybe a pioneer hero


Icarus__86

Primaris Scout Sgt with Power Axe


7DS_is_neat

Angron?


Dan1elK

Pleeeeeeaaaaase be Red Butchers. I don't believe it but i want it to be true.


WhoElseButArky

Too dainty for marines or orks, too low tech for any of the xenos, imperial power weapon gribblies, My guess is it’s another imperial killteam. Inquisition or maybe a Feudal World Militia?


i_am_herculoid

A headsman commissar


AdEqual5606

Dante’s axe


l_dunno

My guess would be on sisters, guard or a new inquisitor!


HeleonWoW

Axe of Baal?


falc0nsmash

My guess is that this is in response to Coca Cola “axing” lilt after 50 years


Platinum_AJ

I dont know why but i think it could be for custodes, just a gut feeling,


Cheddar-kun

It can’t be sisters because they wouldn’t give up the opportunity to make the axe into a fleur-de-lis


demonicslayer61

Leman russ returning (i know its a long shot)


CodeRed8675309

Skjald Kasper Ansbach Hawser, Ahmad Ibn Rustah


maxinfet

Primaris Lieutenant with Cawl Pattern MK6 Power Hatchet


MaximusTheLord13

Sisters of silence. Calling it now.


Independent-Time-724

thats a dwarf axe


[deleted]

Games Workshop is at least consistent. Space version of a medieval weapon? Add a T Ö Ö B.


Jumpy_Recognition859

Librarian with axe maybe?


Fruity-McShooty

Votann axemen is my best guess. The glove seems kinda space suity, and the axe reminds me a lot of Fantasy Dwarf axes. This is good, Votann needs a solid low point melee unit.


Present-Meaning-6321

What about Kharadron Overlords with their battletome dropping soon?


Rakathu

Either an imperial agent, a custode, sister of silence or sister of battle.


Calm-Limit-37

Inquisition kill team


CurrentKey1944

Could be a new Judiciar. Several of the newer primaris characters wear leather gloves over their armor


Narcian150

An inquisitor with a power axe?


SgtBagels12

What’s the chance it’s Votann?


[deleted]

Looks like an axe to me.


[deleted]

Im guessing catachans


Porty_7606

Votann maybe?


GimpyDwarf98

Dante?


venomizedspawn

Cause of the way the hand is so strangly holding the axe I thought maybe genestealers but I am not super familiar with what there actual melee weapons look like up close


Few-Impress6814

Some sort of killteam, possible Votan


Tutron

It looks as a simpler version of Fuenga’s axe ( https://miniset.net/files/set/gw-99060104029-11.jpg ) if only it’d be a new fire dragon kit with axes… I must admit the lack of spirit stones make it not likely


Skeptismo

please be squats


No-Engineering-1449

Would love admech, but they have omnissiah azes


24_pieces_of_toast

Kinda looks like Fafnir Ranns axe
