HERESY! 🔍 A Space Marine with an extra finger? The community spotted it instantly and, in true Warhammer fashion, immediately accused the nearest machine spirit of being an Abominable Intelligence. 😆 Games Workshop insists the 6 fingers were not AI-generated, but rather the result of a human editing mistake during the creation of a promotional montage. Their official response essentially boiled down to: "Yes, that's an extra finger. No, it's not AI. Please go easy on our artists—they're only human." Sure. Because when professional artists accidentally make mistakes, they usually forget a belt pouch, misalign an insignia, or mess up a shadow. They don't typically invent entirely new fingers. The reason the internet immediately suspected AI is because extra digits have become one of the most recognizable artifacts of image generation. It's the visual equivalent of finding a smoking bolter next to a deceased guardsman. Could a human have done it? Of course. Is it possible that somewhere in a complex editing workflow a finger got duplicated, warped, stretched, or composited incorrectly? Sure. But let's not pretend people are irrational for raising an eyebrow. If an image contains the single most famous AI tell in existence, then "Was this AI?" is a perfectly reasonable question. In the 41st millennium, there is only war. In the 21st century, there is only "No, we definitely didn't use AI." The Codex Astartes remains unconvinced.
