What new imperial guard tank models will be coming out with the release? Any? All I have seen and heard confirmed are infantry and sentinels, what about the LR variants?

None right away, except for the new Valkyrie models are being released with the Codex. Other than that, you'll need to either look at Forge World, Try your hand at Conversion work, or wait, if you want any of the new varient vehicles.

There will only be 2 kits made in the near future, a plastic LR demolisher (with punisher and execution turret) and then a Hellhound with all three guns. Other then that, no word on new tanks.
Ren
PS- the turret size will stay the same, so all old, new and FW kits will work. Hope that helps

There's supposed to be a second wave of IG Models coming out later this year, including the new kits for the Russ and Hellhound. As far as I know, though, nothing more specific than that has leaked regarding the timing.

2nd wave will also be Rough Riders (plastic?) and from what i'm hearing possibly some new tanks as well as the new LR and HH kits (deathstrike/manticore?)

My guess is that that will all be coming in the Second Wave, which will probably hit us in the middle of this summer.
We'll have 7 tank variants IN THE CODEX, which in no guarantee of getting an actual kit for them. We also have 5 Arty tanks, which will probably be released as one kit, a Chimera/ Hydra kit, and a Hellhound, Devildog, and Bane Wolf kit. I remain dubious of actually getting proper kits for the Deathstrike & Manticore, though.
Haven't heard anything for sure about plastic Rough Riders, though....

what i've been hearing is that the new rough riders (which are CONFIRMED as coming out this year) will be either cadian style or the more traditional Atillans just brought up to date, because of the new Moghul Khamir special character.

The kits are recut to "fit" together better there are small differences in the kits but they looks like the LR and Chimera body. The LRD kit will have multimelta and plasma cannon turrets that are suppose to "pop" in and out, "without the use of your bloody American magnets." Hope that helps some. So look to August Brothers... we need to start another countdown after we get our dex! Ren

personally i would like to see models for some of the new special characters like:
pask-the tank guy Bastonne-the veteran Harker-artillery Sgt Moghul khamir-Rough Rider guy AND NORK-the ogryn
I'd at least like to see some proof that GW have these minis on the books if they are putting them in the dex.

Courtesy of bols. Hi all,
Since Adepticon, we have been innundated with reports of an upcoming 2nd wave IG release. We hear word that it is coming much sooner than anticipated, possibly as early as this summer. It is said to include:
Leman Russ Demolisher: All plastic kit can build a Demolisher, Punisher or Executioner. New turret. New hull weapons, new sponsons, new hull accessories.
Hellhound: All plastic kit can build a Hellhound, Devil Dog or Bane Wolf. New turret, new hull details, internal fuel tank (partially exposed so visible from the top).Here is the link...this summs everything up for me quite well. By the way I need to go hang out with these guys more often.... www.belloflostsouls.net/personally i would like to see models for some of the new special characters like: pask-the tank guy Bastonne-the veteran Harker-artillery Sgt Moghul khamir-Rough Rider guy AND NORK-the ogryn I'd at least like to see some proof that GW have these minis on the books if they are putting them in the dex. I can only assume that they will in a matter of time. Then again they don't have too and you could literally just use any model to represent them as long as they have the correct wargear. I dunno we will see.

yeah but can you see GW passing up a chance of making money off of those 5 special characters?
just a thought. I personally would love to see proper models for Nork and Pask, the SMs got a model for Chronus with their dex' so why should we get a special character without a model?!?!?! Also i would be interested in seeing weather you could put Pask in a Valkyrie/Vendetta.
Nork deserves a model, he's just too cool not to have one!

The Second Wave of IG coming in August is only the 2 tanks that i know of. No special characters and no other plastics. This COULD change but, August is Tanks month.

oh ok cool. but still the LR eradicator may be a new useful toy. It ignores cover saves and is AP4 so goodbye eldar pathfinders with your damned 2+ cover saves GRRRRRR.

Post by WestRider on Apr 11, 2009 19:21:05 GMT -5
We got a lot of nice stuff in that regard: The Eradicator, Colossus, HellHound, and BaneWolf can all ignore Cover Saves.

Nork already has a model, it can even still be found on the GW site.
So the Russ and the demolisher will still be sold in separate kits?

They are going to release a model for him, cause the codex specifically states that you must use HIS model to have him in the tank... so if they never release HIS model... is he unusable?

Post by commissargaunt on Apr 12, 2009 4:39:29 GMT -5
no its not unusable, just for the moment tell your opponent BTW Pask is in this tank so its BS4 and has x special rules. Im sure he/she wont mind.

You can go a long way with this by simply having that tank be the one with the guy poking out. All my other tanks will have closed cupola hatches, so that helps a lot.
