When and it is only a matter of when gw release there new imperial guard troop kit its going to destroy more armies in one go than any other box ever released. The scale is definitely going to be different so all the new guardsman and woman are going to be a foot taller than their cadia brethren and it's going to require a complete re do of the entire armoury of the imperial guard army.every tank every sentinel every valkyrie is going to have to be resized for gw new super size guardsman
It will destroy more collections in one box than any single box has before.
It will be nice to have women include and a new kit but oh boy it's going to destroy twice the armies primaris ever did.
If you need proof this is going to happen go buy severina raine .she stands at least a foot above what are meant to be 6 foot tall cadian troopers.

I actually believe you on this because every.single.time. I have completed an army or done extensive conversions, GW has changed the rules or come out with new models.....and I am on the verge of finishing my IG army.

How do the traitor guard from Blackstone compare?

Primaris Astra Militarum confirmed!

ok

Not to be blunt, but..."duh" comes to mind.

...And?

40k's been being "killed" since as far back as I can remember, and I can remember in to the nineties.

I think it'll be fine. And I doubt they'll make Catachan somehow the end-all, be-all of models.

Look at sisters for example, whom are certainly better than they've ever been, but are hardly OMGWTFBBQ overpowered.

Infantry scale has never matched tank scale. Why would this suddenly start mattering?

The plastic Cadians are already too large and were larger than the metal models they replaced. If Guard models get bigger just don't buy those if you don't like them.
Before those there were the plastic Catachan mini's which may actually be just a little shorted than the Cadians but still larger than the old Metals.

The only true upsizing I want is taller hats.

I have a Primaris army and then I have a Space Marine army, they are not intermixed. You could do the same thing with Guard if you wanted.

Dakka: "We want new guard kits!"

GW: "Ok here you go"

Dakka: "No, not like that!"

And, no, she is not wildly taller. She's standing on a god damn rock and has a giant hat.

The title should really be "A..." instead of "The...", made me panic slightly.

I don't think they will scale them up too much, they probably want the Marines to tower over them.

In all honesty, I would like to see about a 5% decrease in the size of guardsmen, just to make the classic marines look better.

I don't think classic marines really factor into GW decision making anymore...

Where is this mentioned new guard troop kit?

I am somehow doubtful that it even exists, much less that it will ruin the game.

Removed - Rule #1 please

I don't have the Traitor Guard, but Aradia Medellan is almost identical in height to the metal Primaris Psyker after accounting for the higher 32mm base.

I heard that GW is going to use the old M.A.S.K. 2" action figures as the mold for the new Imperial Guard. Gone are the lasgun as the helmets are fitted with the laser that shoot beams out of their helmet, or mask, visor.

It's April already right?

What new Imperial Guard troop kit? Know something we don’t?

Same exact size, bit more skinny and less.muscular ,allbeit the bsf traitor guard also has females in so no size will not change.

No. It's a badly worded title that makes you jump to the conclusion that there has been some sort of evidence of a new kit.

Lol at OP, his posts up to this point have been somewhat doom and gloom with zero substance to back up his outlandish claims. Nothing really to see here, relax.

I think the'll go with the basic CSM kit now for marine scaling. It'd be cool if classic SM were redone to that scaling.

the new CSM kit is a pretty good example of this whole thread being a nothing burger. CSMs increased in size, but that didn't immediatly obselete CSM rhinos. vindicators etc.

Heh. Agreed about the kits, and agreed about the burger.

Honestly, it's like some people exist simply to find reasons to be upset with their hobby. I mean look if your soul hobby activity consists of finding reasons why it will proably be ruined in the future, maybe it's time to find another hobby

I think in this case its more about attention and less about actual 'rage'.

Breaking News: 40k Player says GW release will kill game! Tune in next week for the exact same thing!

Yeah. I was hoping that something had been leaked or previewed, but I couldn't find anything.
