C) If those are new catachans then they have changed for the better. D) HELLHOUND!!! *Maniacle laughter.* E) I love the look of that commie lord and phyker (excuse my spelling). F) VALKYRIES (Runs off to the tune of flight of the valkries)

cool as hell,I love it.
those ratlings still look ugly though, just ugly in a good way, not ugly in a terrible sculpt sort of way.
anyway...they haven't convinced me to use the little freaks in my own force just yet.

;D ;DMore stuff!- My thoughts- 1) ITS ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!! 2) If you look both sprues have hvy flamer options so asumingly, all guard will get heavy flamers. ;D 2) Plastic meltas and plasma, and power fists and power swords. ;D ;D ;D 3) The big knives on the catachan sprue will make perfect wraithbanes. ;D ;D ;D ;D 4) Lots of nice looking heads and bodies, including berets!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 5)SNIPER RIFLES ON THE SPRUES!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 6)If you look carefully at the cadian sprue you'll se a peice of paper labelled "orders"and a gasmask. 7)I think the new medic parts are very characterful. In short: love the parts, love the new armylist options brought on by it. This gentlemen, is what we have been waiting for. The guard shall rise again! And thats my two pence...

I agree with Jaxa. I'm getting a box of Cadians right before they stop selling the 20 man kits, and combining it with this when it comes out. I'm a little annoyed that the arm with the Power Sword is a robot arm, but everything else is just so damn awesome, I don't really care! The baneblades also look pretty sweet, but the tank pics are all Forgeworld models. Also, here are some close ups of the Command Squad bits, courtesy of BOLS belloflostsouls.blogspot.com/2009/02/40k-sneak-peek-ig-command-squads-more.htmlReds

Crap. Now I have to figure out a role for another group of Minis in my Guard. The new Cadian Command set is too cool to pass up. Maybe use those as Drop Troopers, and switch the Catachans (who are currently filling in all "Special Forces" type roles) to Infiltrate exclusively. Need to figure out how to cram some of those Ratlings in there as well. verminard: The tubes on the Chimera Turret looked more like they were just Smoke Launchers to me. Hard to tell from that angle, though.

The best part is that WE HAVE SOLID EVIDENCE THAT IT IS HAPPENING! And it ain't stopping there. From BOLS- -Upcoming White Dwarf will detail APOC rules for Stompa's new wargear and add a Stompa Squadron Apoc datasheet. -IG 4 plastic boxes, 4 blisters, and 2 battleforces (Cadian & Catachan) are coming out. -IG Imperial Advisors work like the SM Chapter Masters do for Apocalypse. -Next 18 months will be "big" for IG -Sentinel has a plasma cannon and missile launcher variant. -Sentinel metal enclosed cockpit pieces are now in plastic and on the sprue. The legs are now multiple pieces for ease of posing during assembly. -Valkyrie is a fast, skimmer armour 12/10/10 and has a special rule allowing "flyby deep striking" allowing the Valkyrie to continue moving whilst the troops deploy. The occupants must take a dangerous terrain test when they land to see if they are injured. And, for fantasy fans out there: Plastic empire steam tank- And this looks promising- The stompa-

I'm interested in the article that accompanies the Commisar. As was pointed out in a previous post, it mentions orders. But the text we can see suggests that there won't be anything that players will feel they have to take to be competitive, but there also aren't additions that no-one will ever reasonably take. Yeah, it's an obvious way to do things, but they didn't seem to apply that kind of thinking to doctrines, which included some nice ideas that just were never gonna work on the table-top. Those Ratlings look ripped as hell on the BoLS site! Plasma Sentinels? Oh. Yes. Oh, and I like the idea of units like the officer of the fleet who Eff around with the enemies forces. He he he But what is with that addition to the Commisar. Tassles, darling? One idea too many, guys... But all in all it looks like excellent news, I'm realy happy. And the guy at the top of the post with the over-size binocculars is keeping an eye out for more news, while teven two of the troopers in the pic of the new Leman Russ seem to be in dep discussion about these new rumors. Eyes front, lads! Oh, I want a steam tank in my army too.

Special Rule: Cheese-Eating surrender-monkeys:
All enemy units on the table and the opponent(s) themself/themselves must take a leadership test before setting up any models on the table when they realise that a hitherto before much loved, but poorly served race just got bad-ass, and will whoop their smurf-lovin' butts and steal their coffee mug.

Sensory overload i'm not quite sure what to do with myself . Thank god i've got 200 bucks set aside for this. I'm gonna have to keep saving money my wife is gonna kill me lol. A stock officer with a greatcoat...that I do enjoy. Too many goodies to list. And yes the smurf players will be crying foul when I get to the table. I wonder how many points that fleet officer will be along with all the other goodies. Now the bionic arm carrying the powersword, hopefully bionics will be a free upgrade if not that will be the first item I convert. Yes the Assualt like Cannon on the LR turrent will be nice. Though some have expressed their reservations on it, I think it will be a nice piece of anti infantry gear we can get our hands on. Everything is standing up to be a great IG release now, we can only hope it lives up to the hype.

Heavy flamers in all guard squads? Looks like someone at GW has been taking my rantings seriously. Hell, even if they're only in command squads, it's still a serious improvement over 'Jungle fighters only'.
And everything else!!!! I'm going to be needing new trousers....

That tank is so horrible looking. It seriously looks like a half assed scratch build. Although I like the way they redid the sponsoons.
