The full reference sheet from the new codex has gone online at the French GW website (go to 'Articles' ->'Jouer' ->'Feuilles de references Garde Imperiale', and on Warseer (IG rumours thread) as well.

Let's just say it is amazing stuff...now go and look for yourselves!

Was expecting a rick roll now sorely disapointed

This is the pdf mentioned:

Now if only i could read french...

The spanish rumours were right, egads!

and whats a
Leman Russ Punisher?

Its the rumoured Varian of Leman Russ with the huge feth off gun that has 20 shots at STR5 no AP according to that.

Hahahaha


I just noticed that the deathstrike missiles are real. That's awesome. So is the Collosus.


Did the last imperial codex have demolition charges I cant remember Im not familiar with the old codex.

Yep, good stuff. AP3 Hellguns, Captain Chenkov, T5 Ogryns, side armour 13 for Russes...mon dieu!

Ogryn 3 Wounds, Toughness 5 with a STR 5 Assault 3 gun, wo.

Looks like penal troops are

WS 3 BS 3 A 2

Thought that was pretty interesting.

It looks like we get two levels of psyker along with the astropath.

Heavy weapons teams appear to be single 2-wound models. This might cause some people inconvenience.

Well, the link to the French website went dead just as word was spreading across the interweb. Did they leak it on purpose or was it an accident?

Do I even care?

4Chan should have it by now.

I'll check.

BYE

Warseer has copies, your choice of screenshots or just the saved pdf.

How could you accidently leak something like that anyway. Any chance to still get it? Or is it just a confirmation of the already mentioned rumors?

EDIT: wait and shine, Mr. himself, wait and shine...

Last stop on the ork power train. All aboard the IG bandwagon. Woot woot! This is ideed a great day!

Wow that's a lot of tanks...

Bane Wolf
Basilisk
Chimera
Colossus
Deathstrike (!!!)
Devil Dog
Griffon
Hellhound
Hydra
Russ (AV14/13/10)
Demolisher (AV14/13/11)
Eradicator (as Russ)
Executioner (as Demolisher)
Exterminator (as Russ)
Punisher (as Demolisher)
Vanquisher (as Russ)
Manticore
Medusa
Valk (12/12/10)
Vendetta (12/12/10)

Recon Sentinel as as we have now, and the other one is AV12 on the front!!!

The 'Storm Eagle Rockets' (I'm guessing Manticore) are S10 AP4 Ordnance D3/Barrage/Large Blast! The Collosus and the Griffon are the same other than range and AP (Griffon is AP4, Col is AP3). They have special rules not presented there.

Deatkstrike Launcher is range 12-Unlimited, 1D3+3" Explosion, S10 AP1.

Medusa is Range 36 S10 AP2 Ord 1/Large Blast. Doesn't appear to have indirect, making it a weaker Demolisher.

Ripper Gun at S5 AP- Assault 3.

Other cool things:

Captain Al'rahem is back.
Captain Chenkov is back.
Nork is back (T5 base!)
Iron Hand Straken is back.
Sly Marbo is back.
Moghol Kamir is back (for those who don't remember, he's an Atillan Rough Rider special character - so the Atillans Rough Rider models might never go away)
Creed & Kell, obviously, still there.
Yarrick as well - and Yarrick is Toughness 4 again! PRAISE BE TO THE EMPEROR! Yarrick-Lite is no more!!!
Arty Sergeant Harker (no idea)
Sanctioned Psykers & Primaris Psykers are there. Primaris is majorly buffed compared to the Sanctioned.
Commissars still have gakky stats.
Ogryn are T5 base! YAY!
Vets are Ld7... ok...
Conscripts are still there!

Exterminator is Heavy 4/TL
Hydra is just Heavy 2... which is really dumb... but Range 72.
Punisher really is Heavy 20
Eradicator has a Nova Cannon (now the third one in Cannon, and completely different to all the others) 36 S6 AP4 Large Blast hits on BS and has some special rules.
Executioner is Heavy 3 (so I guess it does exist after all Shummy)
Something called 'Fusil radiant Laser' is S3 AP3 Rapid Fire. That'll be the Hellgun
Grenade Launcher is still a hunk'o'junk.

BYE

On the bright side people, we're not going to see any of these new tank type for a year, if ever, so our wallets are safe.

En francais, Le Russ Leman de punir.

Actually, that's probably horribly wrong

Well I'm glad that AV 14 front armor for Russes is set in stone.

I know nothing of french language but it does look the humble mortar (I'm looking at the mortier) is now a barrage weapon. Reduced to AP6 from AP5, but still much better overall I think.

I'm not going to start proclaiming the might of mankind until I have the codex, but I am looking forward to May.

AP 3 stormtroopers? Commence MEQ screaming. Lance missiles, Griffons, conscripts, penal troops, plsma cannons, executioners, exterminators, Vendettas (WTF? sounds cool whatever it is). Gentlemen, this can't be right, there's too much win here. A thousand guard players are going to have a heart attack.

I can hear my Valhallans whispering to me...

Oh f-

I just got kicked for dancing around the room like a little school girl.

Damn this is exciting.

Someone at GW French HQ threatened to go on Strike if they were now allowed to post this ! (You, know, when the French go on Strike, they are still on Full Pay? - French laws state that you have a right to strike, so when you strike, you still get fully paid!)

Anyway - I'm not 100% convinced. Its nice and all, but I would have thought that some of the more specialist / larger units like the Deathstrike or Manticore would have been left out, and gone in a new Appoc supplement. GW stated that larger stuff was to be held for Appoc, so me thinks some of these should have been in it.

The mortar was already S4 Ap6 barrage. Like most other existing weapons it seems to be staying exactly the same.

The summary has page numbers on it. Apparently the weapons section runs from page 68 to 70. Notable outliers include the hellweapons, ripper guns, and vehicle weapons. Stormtroopers and that 18" S3 Ap3 rapid fire gun are on the same page, meaning they most likely really are hellguns.

All Hellhound variants and their weapons are on page 50. The rumor about the 2+poison Ap3 template tank is true, as is the melta blast hound.

Hydra Autocannon is listed as heavy 2. This ordinarily would not make sense, but perhaps the tank is equipped with more than one. This would hurt its mobile firepower in comparison to the Executioner while still giving it some cheap long range punch while stationary and some staying power against weapon destroyed results. That is admittedly speculation.

Multiple rocket launcher and hellfury missile are on the same page as the hellstrike missile and the valkyrie.

Bunker buster shell is on the same page as earthshaker cannon and medusa siege cannon. Apparently the Basilisk and Medusa are on one page and their weapons are explained on the opposite.

Storm eagle rockets are on same page as Manticore, and have the previously rumored stats.

The Eradicator seems to be the new name for the Conqueror but with a large blast.

Shotguns are Str 3 (as before).
Stormbolters are still there (availability unknown).
Ogryns have lost a point of Ld.
There's a sniper pistol in there (Pistolet Ecorcheur).
Veteran Sergeants are BS 4.
Exterminator is Heavy 4 (jumeles?)

Twin-Linked.

BYE

The sniper pistol is probably the new sidearm of John Rambo.

*smashes through wall*

OH YEAH!!

I love what I see so far!!

I just really wish I knew what the point value for the Valkyrie is as well as the Valkyrie Gunship the Vendetta!! I had been converting a small guard force a while ago, but I put it on hold because I was hoping for Plastic Valkyries, now I have 25 guys waiting for there ride to arrive =D

I am a bit of a noob when it comes to Ogryns, are they decent now?? Would they be worth fielding?? I really want to do a Storm Troop Airborne Army, as well as a Catachan/Ogryn tank heavy army...??

Oh has there been any word on point reductions for Storm troopers??

Thanks,
Chappy P!

PS: Again sorry for being a noob, but who was Straken in the earlier guard codex (2nd edition??)
