It doesn't look like this has been posted yet. There's an article on the GW main site entitled "Incoming: Imperial Guard." It appears to have some information about the incoming Imperial Guard codex. That one picture of the rumored cover shows up again
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=&catId=cat180002&categoryId=400032&aId=14500025
Notable quotes:
"This new plastic box set makes five Imperial Guard, including an officer, medic and other specialists, and is packed with optional weapons and wargear that can be used with the rest of the range of Imperial Guard plastic miniatures." Five bodies in the command squad set.

"The box set includes a choice of two Cadian banner designs, suitable for Platoon or Company Standard Bearers." Platoon standards now legal, not just a noob mistake.

Confirms Officer of the Fleet, Astropath, and Master of Ordnance as regimental advisors, and shows miniatures. Also Primaris Psyker and Lord Commissar, not regimental advisors.

A lot of whining bitches are not going to buy the codex because of the cover now!

It *is* an ugly cover.
But since they're giving up on guard, can I have their stuff?

Why do i keep reading these posts?

OMG i want all those mini's NOW!

Go Guard

That Officer of the Fleet model is awesome.

*Lurk Mode - Off*

I need those Advisors. The Fleet Officer will make a great ship's Captain for a Dark Heresy scenario (defend against a boarding action) and the Astropath also makes a great Dark Heresy model.

All good, other than those fugly Ratlings.

*Lurk Mode - On*

Agreed on the ratlings. Ripped as (also ugly) Catachans and still strength 2.

Damn fine mini's.

I can confidently say some of thier best yet.

Dark Heresy, the upcoming Rogue Trader stuff, and How about some skirmish stuff to top it all off.


This stuff is screaming for a good Necromunda style skirmish system.

Nice really like the advisors,except the ratlings what the hells up with them?



EDIT-My one prob(not really a prob but I have no better word)is that catachan with the sniper rifle,his head looks like the old IG cadian sergeants just a bit larger.

LOVE the advisors, the CL, and the Primaris. The 'Roid Ragin' Ratlin's. are a little ridiculous.

I'm hoping this means that the advisors are NOT direct sales only.

The advisors are probably all three in the same blister.

That's great, but I heard the blister was direct sales only. I'm really hoping that isn't the case.

the advisors look good. I'll definitely be picking them up, along with the ratlings and a box or 2 of the cadian command squads.

I must be the only person who quite likes the ratlings!

I would imagine that at least for the initial 'splash' release all the new stuff will be available in stores, and it'd be quietly suffled over to Direct only when the next big 'splash' comes down the pike. (Planetfall?)

I quite like the cover, it shows the hordeness of IG. Sweet, sweet gun line.

Those greatcoat legs are going to go for a pretty penny on the bitz sites. Stock up early for your own trades and sales. I don't remember seeing the new Cadian bald-ish head - not bad. But what's up with the Cadian kneeling and reading a book? I'm loving the new Catachan Command Squad, though - with the exception of the medic - he just kinda reminds me of an Ork Pain Boy. And while I hate Ratlings in concept and hate the existing line of Ratlings - I'm definitely buying some of these new guys just for the models. I totally dig 'em. The Officer of the Fleet will make a great Planetary Governor or somesuch, although I'm already planning to use my metal Cadian Commander from the box set as my Officer of the Fleet - maybe give him a nice peaked cap and I think he's set. Master of the Ordinance and Primaris Psyker are also totally solid. Looking good!

Just realised what was bugging me about the appearance of some of those models. They are more severely highlighted than normal. Makes ordinary details look grotesque. Compare the Cadian command squad promo pic to the Cadian troops box in the online store.

I'm excited about all the extra's on the sprue. Hopefully there'll be two of every special weapon. That'll make my melta vetrans complete!!

One of each special weapon I'm afraid. There's a bitz breakdown on Dakka somewhere.

Got to say, going on the models, they seem to have Guard nailed now. Just hope the rules work out as well as the models.

Oh no page not found...


Oh wait page found!

Oh my god those Primaris Psyker and Officer of the Fleet look like... you can guess

that cover just says lack of effort to me. The ideas great but the finish looks poor. Hopefully the cover doesn't reflect on the rest of the book

I am in love with all the new models. The bitz for the command squads will be amazing for kit bashing and the advisors will look great with my Inquisitor Lord (i.e. Guard Army Commander). So much pretty, so little cash!

EDIT: Already said above.

I actually like the angry hobbit look of the snipers. They look like some of the town folk from the LOTR range.

It would be like GW to find a way to sell me minis to an army I don't play. Stupid Dark Heresy invading my imagination.

i'm hoping they show the rumored rough riders from wave 1.5 soon. i'm itching to convert some cadians to cavalry but i'm holding off to see how the official models look.

Everything looks great (aside from the cover, which just looks washed out... hopefully it will look better in person).

I really love the advisors!


And all I can say is PLATOON STANDARDS!!!!

Hmm... I hate to think I need to convert up some Advisor models...

I think the ratlings are okay.

I am, however, buying the old ones now before they're all gone. (I have a squad of ratlings to match each of my regiments).

I doubt this, as we havent even seen the Wave 1 Sentinel yet! And we know it exists, because they had pictures of the weapon options, but the one photo an Open Day visitor took of the pics GW had out was crooked and of too low a quality to make out any real details from
