Dried Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 3 hours ago, Casual Heresy said: Definitely guard. But the casing looks like it is painted in metallics, so don’t think it’s Catachan. My money is on a Death Korps character or (hopefully but very unlikely) something Vostroyan. Maybe it's a Catachan Commissar? The commissars' power fist are always painted in metallic.

Fire Golem Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It doesn’t feel Catachan at all to me, especially now I know it’s just the current IG power fist design. It’s flashier than the Krieg and Cadian command squad versions which doesn’t feel in character for Catachan. Feel like it would be more utilitarian.

It's the Wings on it that make it less likely to be Catachan and more likely Scions (assuming it's not a random named guy). Possibly the Scion Command Squad's leading guy, he can have a Powerfist, right?

kabaakaba Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It's not common design. It's closer to Castellan fist, but haw different skull.

Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Vostroyan power fists did have a trim, but I don't think it's possible to exclude some character or any reworked regiment that we've not seen updated so far.

kabaakaba Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Vostroyan's should be more ornate and I don't think GW gives us something not in codex when we have catachans who looks like my life Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387535-the-rumour-engine-3rd-february-2026/page/2/#findComment-6155044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not read Guard fluff in a long time but aren't Commissars typically specifically NOT from the World of the Regiment they're serving with (Death Korps of Krieg excluded)?

Joe Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 The amusing thing is that that rough design for the winged skull has popped up in a few places. Another notable example would be on the Gravis Captain from Dark Imperium, albeit with longer wings.

Paturabo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Yarrick returning with a powerfist on his left hand to compliment the Ork claw on his right. Give them xenos the ol' One-Two! But seriously the bit if trim on it makes me think it's a character and not a squad leader.

Cyrox Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 As much as i want it to be Catachan, it may well be from another retinue box, perhaps its one of of Yarrick's retinue, and you have to field them as one (which i do not like at all) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387535-the-rumour-engine-3rd-february-2026/page/2/#findComment-6155122 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I think everyone should get a huron/titus squad. Not much to infer from this though other than its a guardsman with a fist. darkdark25 and Commissar Greif 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387535-the-rumour-engine-3rd-february-2026/page/2/#findComment-6155131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Catachans? Steel Legion? Either of the above would be spot-on for me, and – assuming something isn't seriously wrong with the sculpts – would be an auto-purchase. However, I've been hoping for both of these for literally years, so I can't bear to get my hopes up again! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387535-the-rumour-engine-3rd-february-2026/page/2/#findComment-6155136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Greif Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The leak that teased Krieg all those years ago mentioned full refreshes for three Imperial Guard regiments. Krieg got their kill team shortly after, followed by the Cadia refresh a year or so later and Krieg at the beginning of last year. That means there's still one regiment left to go. My money is personally on Catachan since they've still got most of their stuff in the codex, but if orks are the focus of 11th edition, then it would be a perfect time to bring back Armageddon.

I believe that the leak was: "Astra Militarum with veteran-style Cadians. Two new regiments are also in the works. New Kasrkin and new vehicle, designed to fit between the Leman Russ and the Baneblade." I do wonder if they were counting the Attilan Rough Riders or not, as far as "new regiments" go.

Aramis K Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Steel legion upgrade spruce for Krieg? Followed by jungle fighters doubling as Ork Hunter regiments. That'd be nice for Armageddon..
