Sviar Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I really looking forward to the Medusa tank. Better than the Vindicator due to range. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279538-cig-rumours/page/8/#findComment-3515705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have a FW enclosed Medusa, so it's the Colossus I'm looking forward to. Will save me the hassle of having to convert some from Basilisks. Marines! Say good bye to your armour saves! And cover, too!

hendrik Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 New centerpiece kit is a Horus Heresy era tank. aren't all imperial guard vehicles horus heresy tanks? and only certain armaments of turrets more modern?... a typical gw messup if this rumour turns out to be true and they promote is as such....

WarriorFish Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah, it's far too vague to mean anything. May as well say "new tank" :P All fodder for the rumour machine though, even if I am still a little dubious on them.

Cod Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Is it still rumoured to be March next year for the new IG Codex? Been thinking hard bout some IG allies for my DA, but with the rumours it might be best waiting for the new codex.

Tankenstein_PhD Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Of the rumors about the new codex, the one that stands out to me is the whole "replace Company Commander with Commisar" bit, mostly because that one's actually been repeated more than once. Then again, the doesn't necessarily mean anything. I just noticed that it keeps popping up.

WarriorFish Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The Internet can be a big echo chamber with regards to rumours so you can never be sure if what you're hearing isn't just the rebound of something you've already heard. When dealing with rumours salt is your weapon of choice, and as us Guard know you can never throw enough weaponry around :P Stand fast and hold the line comrades.

Kierdale Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Lastest rumour from Faeit about plastic storm troopers: I could see GW allowing stormtroopers as a troop choice to induce additional sales of the new kit, which, frankly, floored me. The details were great, with kasrkin style armor, and all sorts of weapons including hellguns, sniper rifles, special weapons, a cool missile launcher, a bunch of sergeant options, bolters, and lots of shotguns that managed to not look like scout shotguns. Also, the bolters did not look like marine shotuns, they were a little more human sized. Some of the poses were also amazingly dynamic. Some were stoic standing poses, while a couple were very John Woo! There were also a lot of extra bits, poches, packs, grenades, knives, some scanner like equipment, and what appeared to be night vision goggles. If i were a puppy, I would've piddled on the rug, and it was a supreme act of will not to grab the models and run for the door. Apparently, they have also been ready for some time. Please dear God, let these see the light of my hobby store soon and I will have at least 5 boxes! This might even revitalize my Guard army. Oh, and there were a bunch of heads! respirator heads, heads with berets, bald heads, heads with mohawks and crew cuts. Most were scarred, and one had an eyepatch, while another had a disfigured eye with what looked like claw marks, one head was smoking a stogie, and there were two heads with berets. There was even a knife that looked like a trench knife with raised knuckle dusters. There were scopes, a hand radio, and a bunch of bits for the bases including plants, a snake, and some ammo cans and satchel charges. There was even a hand holding an entrenching tool (shovel to you non-military types). There were a few holstered pistols, and as a delightful surprise, there were also autoguns in addition to lasguns, and there were bits for pistol and close combat weapon troops, although few were chainblades. There was a demo charge, melta bombs, and camo cloaks. Sounds very attractive but even if they were released tomorrow I would probably wait until after the codex comes out before picking up a couple of boxes, to see how best they might be armed/used.

WarriorFish Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You forgot the source Kier: StrykerSniper on Warseer. If this is true then that is absolutely brilliant! Just when I've pretty much got GS berets down too :P All these bits will be fantastic, I understand why it's Kasrkin/carapace models rather than the old gas mask ones and given I already have plenty of them I'm not too bothered by this. Maybe I can assign them to my Inquisitional task force if I'm lucky and keep my Guard Cadian themed? Would be good for carapace Veterans too of course. If there were released tomorrow I'd probably get one in my excitement, but then not assemble more than a few for the same reasons :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279538-cig-rumours/page/8/#findComment-3516743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm sure everyone's following the rumours on other sites anyway, but it seems the rumour I posted a week or so ago about all the goodies in the storm trooper box was actually a combination of bitz from the new storm troopers and current command boxes. Anyway, with the Adeptus Sororitas and Codex: =][= getting improved priests, do you think our own will be similar? I hope so as I'm currently a shrine world garrison without any priests! I want them to be worth taking, beyond fluff purposes.

WarriorFish Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hmm, well the command boxes do have some rather nice bits in so that's no bad thing. Rumour mill seems to have died off for the moment, maybe it'll pick up again after Christmas? I imagine our priests would be very similar, it would be a bit strange if they were different. I've never taken priests with my Guard, they're faithful enough and priests have never seemed that great for the cost!

WarriorFish Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Given that the heads are the only difference between Mordians and Praetorians it'd be a crime not to! Plastic Krieg is pure poppy cock though, the only greatcoat that could appear in plastic has the be the Steel Legion. Valhallan's don't have the same exposure as the Legion and I can't see them stepping on FW's toes with DKoK. Assuming it will happen at all, we've heard such rumours bounded around since time began it feels.

Lysere Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'd rather see plastic Steel Legion rather than DKoK. If they made plastic Steel Legion minis I would actually start playing guard.

No Foes Remain Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'd love plastic Steel Legion. They'd be pefect for the Tyrant's Legion and it would mean I don't have to paint faces.

Sviar Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'll be all over plastic Mordians like a fat kid on a cupcake..... Haha This made me laugh, and I got a wierd image in my head. If this is what keeping you from playing Guard, then I do hope they release them because it is a blast feilding them. The same goes for those waiting for the Steel Legion, and if you have read Helsreach it is very understandible why they are so likable.

MadDoc Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 As long as any new Storm Trooper models are based on the Storm Troopers depicted in the pictures for the Storm Troopers & Valkyrie Assault Carrier entries in the Forces section of C:IG 5E I'll be a happy camper. Edit - These are images I referred to above. Not a fan of the Kasrkin look, vastly prefer the style pictured.

Lysere Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Karskin are Cadian aren't they? Also I'd be very happy with Storm Troopers like that, although after my last game of Deathwatch I'm a little less fond of Storm Troopers.

WarriorFish Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Man... all you guys with your eagerness over new plastic infantry... And I'm here, silently hoping for new artillery kits... Speak for yourself, I want everything! :P I remember noticing the old school gas mask Stormies turning up in GW publications before the current codex hit. White Dwarf and I think in some Apoc stuff too? When the new codex came out also only featuring them I started to think that GW were going back to them and we might see some plastic versions Emperor willing. That wasn't the case as we now know, so I'm waiting on confirmation before I start counting my space chickens.
