Evil Eye Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The Hippogriff I'm genuinely in love with. Centaur is great but I am slightly mad my wish for a plastic Centaur got monkey's pawed like this. Not a bad model, but c'mon!

FarFromSam Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I wonder what role the half track fills since the chimera exists, same with those odd wheeled guard vehicles that came out a few years back... More bloat? The mini wheeled Autocannon thing looks cool out there. It'll be interesting see where they fit I to the codex. Excited.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 KT is more cadians. Literally no one was asking for more cadians. they look good, and I’m not mad about an infantry heavy stubber finally, but really? More cadians? way to ruin the vibe. oh well the centaur, hippogriff and Graves’ ride are absolutely beautiful.

I like the half-track not sure on the hippogriff yet . They seem to be members of the Officio Prefectus. The retinue are very Scion-esquez which makes sense as the Scions/Commissars were tied together going back to the old Militarum Tempestus mini-dex. I quite like the Centaur and Hippogryph. I'm mostly irritated because both would of fit well into my Traitor Guard, and the load outs on my half-track are closer to Chimeras.

Orion Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I don't really care for any of these. Not objectively bad or anything, they just don't spark joy like previous IG vehicles. The only real criticism that immediately comes to mind is that they look toy-like, with giant blue windows. All of the styling cues are from the Dorn.

World War 2! A lot of the guard was inspired by Cold War particularly the Soviets.

All of the styling cues are from the Dorn. I do agree they’re moving away from traditional guard design cues, and the hippogriff particularly should have a few more hard corners and edges just like the Dorn should have. roryokane and Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387712-imperial-guard-commissar-graves-centaur-rsv-hippogriff-afv/#findComment-6162716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Techwisp Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Thing with Guard is that for an army as Mechanised as they were, they never really had any APCs. Both the Chimera and Taurox are IFVs, vehicles that can (and often do) stick around the support the Infantry. The Centaur here is a proper "APC" that has a crew served gun for nominal self defence and is near exclusively designed just to shuffle people around. The Hippogriff also fills a needed role for the Guard as a proper Light Tank. Yes the Chimera has historically filled that role (IFVs did evolve from Light Tanks after all) but with the Chimera now being required to serve bus duty we needed a light Tank that doesn't have it's existence hinge on having 10ish random dudes sat in the back. The weapon options also differentiate from the Chimera somewhat.

The Centaur is a delivery box like a Rhino, unlike the Chimera which has always been closer to the Razorback in role. I mean chimera is literally just a BMP in space. but I wouldn’t be surprised if the chimera and the hellhound variants were removed from the next codex. the hippogriff and centaur fill the roles we’d use them for. melta version, dakka anti-personnel version, and generalist version, then there’s the centaur for transport. id prepare yourselves for that.
