Page 7-8 spread: the Cadians shown have much more pronounced pauldrons, stubbier lasguns and smaller helmet protrusions

Page 20: very different pauldrons, helmets and lasgun design

While every other enemy they are shown fighting has a very true-to-the-models look.

Does this bode for the possibility of a re-design of the potato-faced, Spaceball-helmeted Cadians? Or simply artistic liscence?

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Probably just artistic listence (without seeing the pics) but I would welcome a Cadian resculpt. And Catachan. Both to match the infinitely better command squads they released.

As long as they come with female heads and I don't have to buy another codex then I for one welcome our new insect overlords or whatever.

Hopefully nobody gets mad about a tiny section of one page with no rules: http://imgur.com/5UuFK7e

That looks like artistic license on the current Cadian IG, IMO.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised.

Still really lame though, wouldnt be an improvement over the current cadians.

Helmet design sucks, but the new pauldrons look a lot like the ones in the Space Marine video game.
