Sweet I am liking the rumors about this new codex! Plastic Valkyries, no more armored fist squads, a new HQ Plastic Demolishers, everything I ever wanted. It will even be better if they make Sentinals better. (For the way I play they don't last long)

I cant wait for the idea of having platoons dedicated to one goal so we can have variety. I think my veterans will have earned their carapace, while at the same time I take my jungle fighters and someone make sure to bring the graham crackers and marshmallows cause we goin toastin. The flying transports is so amazing, gives us some mobility with the ability to take objectives in the opponents zone.

lol with the new troop rules us gaurdsmen might want to max out our troop choices with as many gaurdsmen and good stuff that the codex/futer codex will allow us to lol sounds unrealistic but i might go for it 8) btw i got a kas strom trooper sargent to be my commander yesterday, any suggestions on how to make him more of a commander to stand out, maybe a beret or something. hes going to from a mobile infantry background (havent made fluff yet)

ok heres some more rumors to add to the mix and this is a quote from bell of lost souls
Codex: Imperial Guard. New miniatures are ready, the Codex is still undergoing the brainstorming phase It is almost certain that the Combat Doctrines will remain in the Codex. New plastic soldiers with great coats and different heads: we'll have Death Korps of Krieg and Valhallans!!! Possible new Valkyrie in plastic. New bits for the Sentinel in order to be able to field all of the four patterns in plastic! New bits for Rough Riders.

Meh personally I liked the idea of having all the options without the draw backs of doctrines better.

Seconded. I wished I could have given my vets carapace armour without having to hand it off to my line infantry.

then your vets would be storm troopers! lol
vets are just the upgraded versions of guardsmen, they have more experience (or survived for more than 15 hours, lol), pretty much the same gear, just better at killing.
i am hoping that if they keep the shotguns, they atleast upgrade them to the str 4 that other armies shotguns have. as far as carapace goes, i hope it can be purchased by platoon, so you can customize the assault force.

Yah, but stromtroopers with assault weapons/pistol+cc weapons, three special weapons and a power-fist armed lunatic leading them. With free infilitrate.

The worst thing for me about having a new codex: 2 Days ago a bought my first IG codex without knowing about the new one coming out By any chance would someone like to buy a near-but-not-quite-mint condition codex that can't be used?

I'm in the same boat, the only codex I have at the moment is my old 3rd ed. one, I'm torn between holding out for the new one or getting the current one so I can play.

I bought my first IG codex (2nd ed) and a load of tanks and figures (GW were having a sale*). GW released 3rd ed before I'd even played a game with them. *Yes you read right GW had a SALE.

Hi,
I've read that the cost of a guardsman might be dropping to 4 pts, does this mean that conscripts won't be in the new dex?
I'm all poised to get 50 after reading the articles bigging them up.
Cheers.

conscripts may be reduced to 2 or 3 pts, but were not sure as of now

Is if we didnt have enough flashlights as is. But If they decrease troop cost, will they allow us to have more of them? Right now the cost really isnt bugging me that much.

2 or 3 pts? that's like free! surely not?
I guess that the Run rule sort of stuffs guard and Tau a bit, because the enemy can get to our lines quicker.
