Why is it that all the other armies have new glowing brand spanking new stuff but us Guard lot have nothing?
Are they saving the best till last?

It will be cool to see the inquisitor book. The Sisters book has an entry for priests that is probably a preview of the way our priests are going. (which seem to be awesome now) The Inquisitor also has a priest picture so if they match the sisters we will know for sure.
There are rumors that the Inquisitor book has Stormtroopers and regular guardsmen as well. Probably Chimera's too. Their point costs and new abilities will be interesting to see.

Honestly thanks to Troopers ideas, my Catachan stormies look great I don't even care about a plastic box.
They are a pain in the butt make though.

I want plastic mordians So much this. Honestly, tho, there are a number of Armies that haven't gotten anything new in several years. And a couple of them have much bigger issues with their line than we do, whether in terms of missing models (Nids) or just outdated ones (I think the Ork Warbuggy is the oldest model still on sale outside of the Collector's section, and the Wartrakks are also something like 15 years old). |

I think they still hold up better than the drive and gunner on this thing. And they're fairly easy to fix with Guardian parts, too. |

Honestly you can't tell me that there isn't someone at GW who could have put together a new kit for this. I doubt a new Guard regiment will be brought out but maybe at least a new box set for one of the existing armies out there (Queue plastic Vostroyans please!) Otherwise, the GW Rough Rider. Fix it.

I'd love to see how they turned out.  the most shamign thing are the eldar jetbikes, who didn't get a new model at all. their riders look terrible in my opinion! Well, that kit is pushing 20 years old, and the riders are pretty dated.... It's easy enough to fix with some Guardian torsos, back vanes, and heads and a little bit of knife work; also you can replace the stock rider's legs with Shining Spear rider's legs. I'm doing this on all of my jetbikes, and it looks really good. Here's one I was working on during the summer before I sorta fell out of doing any 40K stuff:    |

i know they can be fixed, don't worry! it's just a bit saddening to see GW not making the effort to update them properly when the new eldar dex hit so recently.

There are pics floating around of a sculpt that Jes Goodwin supposedly did years ago to update the Eldar jetbike. Others say it was just a test for a potential new scupltor that GW was going to hire. That jetbike looks much more DE--with an intake under the body, and the riders posed the same way as the DE riders. I wasn't really a fan of it when I saw it. I think the current jetbike itself holds up well--it's just the rider that needs to be redone, as well as replacing the little spear on the back for the banner with the vane that comes with the Shining Spear model. I think I saved the pics of the sculpt, and when I've got some time I'll dig around and see if I can upload them. |

well my main problem with the eldar jetbike is the rider,just like with the ork buggy they are both horribly outdated.now with the new tactical squad my hopes are up that GW is finally making the effort for new molds on older models so maybe there's hope!

Yeah, the old Ork buggy's driver and gunner are just sad. The trukk is an amazing kit, though. Would like to see the buggy and the Skorcha get some upgrades. Linky to the prototype Eldar jetbike images. |

It's like cptn. Diabeetus conversion is sitting on his bike with a harley-davidson stance and the proto-type is leaning into a crotch rocket.
