I actually hate the new cover art, but it is nice to see the new codex.

The new art looks kinda retro-40k. I'm lookin for an orc that looks like a samurai and a beakie with a bright red bolter and heavy weapon on his shoulder.

Noticed how the 'Eavy Metal team have started with the NMM...
Also, I'm going to be needing those advisors, thanks.

I`m not too keen on the art cover. It seems a throw back to the all metal era of the Guard. The models look great though.

Hmm, love both command squads,especially the catachan medic.
Bit disappointed with the commisar lord, looks like the old commisar with the boltgun, but with a fancier cape.
Ratlings - good, not quite so disney-looking now.
Primaris Psyker - oohhh yess.
Just realised that its a moot point, I'll no doubt endevour to buy as much new stuff as possible!
right, where's my piggy-bank?

Primis psyker is either going to be a super-psyker or a psyker squad upgrade.

I'm pretty sure the new primus psyker is an addition to a command squad, replacing the standard psyker for the ultra-version.
And the cover's not horrible, but could have been better. The new space marine cover was badass. The new cover could have been an Imperial commander standing over a fallen xeno (whichever), flanked by advancing tanks, leading an army of loyal soldiers into battle, eith Valkyries/Vultures flying above. Now that's a dex cover.

whoa whoa..wait a sec...Did I read that battle standards can be given to platoons as well as the HQ...this could be interesting. By the way the cover art looks good. Could have been alot worse.

I actually like the throwback to the old style. (I liked the style of drawing alot). any one else notice that the Catachan Officer seems to be wearing a tank top  (I know its just flak but still ) also, liking the ratling in cover. |

Yeah. It's cool, but it dosen't have quite the unstoppable, terrible impetus as the Imperial Guard should have. Ideally, our codex should show us as what we are- the only truely unstoppable force in the Galaxy.
Space Marines: Bah! Only a million of them. What goods that?
Sisters of Battle: A resounding 'meh'. Next to useless at long range.
Necrons: So you can get back up again? My demolisher begs to differ!
Tyranids: Hmmmm....could be a bit of a problem.
Chaos: Oh, lookie, daemons and more space-smurfs! FIRE THE EARTHSHAKERS!!!
Eldar: You can move as fast as you want, but sooner or later you'll run out of planet to run around on...
Dark Eldar: Same, but less armour.
Orks: Smaaaalll problem, but we still outnumber them.
Tau: You call that a cannon! This *points to battlecannon* is a cannon!

whoa whoa..wait a sec...Did I read that battle standards can be given to platoons as well as the HQ...this could be interesting. By the way the cover art looks good. Could have been alot worse. I read that as well. It seems that the GW design team took some inspiration from FW's Krieg rules. They could have Platoon Banners. And the thing that is great is that we can now really really customize each and every platoon of our beloved guard armies. I hate one thing though - If I stop buying mountain dew right now, at this moment, by the time the new 'dex comes out, I'll only have about 70 bucks, enough to buy the actual 'dex and the command squad. Of course, this would keep me busy customizing my new command squad and reading the 'dex (looks at the C's on his report card he worked so hard to earn, and knows that they will turn into D's or F's when the 'dex comes out...REJOICES CAUSE HE DON'T CARE!!!  ) But, luckily, my birthday is a month and a half later, on the 18th of June, and I can soon get another box a week after May 2nd (due to allowance. Can't maintain a job during school year). How much have you all got saved up? |

You know what I like? Do ya? Do ya know what? Know what I Like?
I scrolled down from the post that you meant for us to see, Norge, and I saw a list of the top 10 most powerful armies. Guess who was right above SMurfs in awesomnes?
Guess who! I'll let you figure it out!

How much have you all got saved up? I have just enough set aside to get the codex. If I am fortunate, I be able to find a job soon, and after taking care of all the OTHER crap that life throws at us all, I'll be able to get stuff. If I am not fortunate, well, I'll be leaving for Basic Training a couple of weeks after the dex comes out. I'll have money when I get done with technical school 6 months later. Dragoon 6 |

Yes Guard beat Space MArines on that list. HOWEVER< I contend that if I were to buil;d a marine list just to beat us, it isn't very hard. They have a few tools just DESIGNED to murder us. Whirlwind/ Thunderfire Cannon/ Sternguard for Infantry, Land Speeder Squadrons for Vehicles. coupled with a couple of units that are just really damn hard to kill. Assault Terminators. If your opponant has an appropriate collection, he can make life SUCK for you.
That being said, we do win wars of attrition. so go attrite someone. UNless of course, you're playing KILLP:OINTS! BWA HA AH AH!!!!!

Killpoints for Guard are being re-done, though. When I play, I rarely lose against Marines.
