I think there are going to be new storm troopers, but I don't think they are said storm troopers. If you look at the army list for the IG-Chaos battle report in this months White Dwarf they have some new models above the storm troopers entry. I have to say I prefer the current kasrkin models, I may have to snap up a box before the new ones are released.
That looks like a good sculpt though, I wonder if it will ever see the light of day as a mini.

Love shotguns, hate fancy sculpted shoulder pads. I'll be delighted to buy the shotties from battlewagon bits, but I don't need the whole mini, actually...

I'm liking those a lot actually. Not so much as Storm Troopers, but as Arbites or Naval Armsmen, those are going to be great.

@monkeyboy: The StormTroopers in that Battle Report are actually the old, pre-Kasrkin StormTrooper Models. I want to get a Squad of those, too, they're cool Models.

chances are they will be inquisitorial stormies. witch hunter stormies get shotguns... i think the stormies will be the old ones, not kasrkin, the pic in the dex on storm trooper entry is old one and as been said already, they used old ones in white dwarf. if they drop the 1940s gas mask they should look cool

I like the old stormies. Something about their unique helmet was just cool. I wanna see the sergeant with a berret to remind me of the old old ones! I was never terribly impressed with the Kasyrkin. Adding kneepads to flak armor ups my save to a 4+! Brilliant!

I doubt that guy is a new storm trooper, you can't take shotguns in the new codex.

There's been talk of Stormies with a Shotgun option as something for PlanetStrike for a while now.

I, personally like the kasrkin models, but agree with many people that they are NOT stormtroopers they are IG grenadiers and thats exactly what I'll be using them as.

I have 25 kasrkin models, they are my stormtroopers and they will always be my stormtroopers.(the huge cables and backpack are too bulky to be normal lasguns, that is my opinion anyway)
If they ever make a plastic kit I will make them into vets with carapace by giving them lasguns from plastic guardsmen.

That's one of the things that has me scratching my head at the moment. What's the point of the grenadier models if there is no more grenadier unit? Sure, you could use the hellguns as "count as" lasguns for vets with 'pace, but you're right ymmot, it does look a little silly. And what about the DKoK grenadiers? I'm hoping GW comes up with something quick, preferably in plastic!

If its really that big a problem for you just chop off the cables from the kasrkin, its really easy to do. So far I haven't seen anyone who complained as to using them as Grenadiers, but I still gave trimming the gun a shot just in case and found it very simple to do.

I have been told from my local blueshirt that the rumor concerning plastic Storm Troopers is false.

I wish GW would sell the old stormies individually. I lack two to make a proper 10 man squad, and don't want to spend the cash on getting the gaggle of stormies they force you to buy. Oh well.
