Regamental standard it would appear. I did a image search.

I've seen somebody saying it could be Inquisition.

Grey Knights has been announced...

That looks like the old RT / 2nd ed lasgun.
Was it the necromunda pattern or ryza pattern?

It's a new style, I've just about every Lasgun and Pistol ever made and it ain't any of them!

In the rulebook there are a cadian and catachan models, that are very diferent. I thought they were conversions. But maybe are new models?

Nope, those are conversions.

If it's Guard, Valhallan, they're listed 3rd in the new rulebook right after C and C.

But maybe Necromunda.

Looks like Cal Jericos pistol from my memory.

Return of the 8th, the Necromunda Spiders?

The gun reminds me of this old sketch by Jes Goodwin

Would be fun if they revisited those designs, he made everything universal about the Imperial Guard with those drawings. Could be something Rouboutte declared: the Imperial Guard no longer faffs about with this and that (looking at you, stupid Tanith and your not-universal lasguns) but instead uses a single template.

If it's IG, it would have to be pretty far out, wouldn't it?
This year we have lots of 40k codices, another 2 weeks of Primaris, Death Guard, AoS Shadowkin. Christmas release at the very earliest?

That's what I'm thinking, that Robby's next degree is to reform and unify the Imperial Guard into a singular, homogeneous entity, possibly similar to how the Imperial Army was structured.
There will probably still be a separation between army and navy though; Robby should know the significance of having them apart.

The Jes Goodwin design is cool. I like it.

It's much too short to be a standard lasgun. It's either a carbine, pistol, or ... for squats. When someone mentioned Squats in the comments the 40k response was rather coy.

I can see him insisting on standardised arms, but not necessarily units. After all, Ice Worlders are ideal for erm....Ice Worlds. Tallarns are masters of desert warfare. That's a skill set you don't want to lose for the sake of aesthetics.

But to distribute the STC for a single pattern of Lasgun to all Forgeworlds does make sense.

Fair point. It would be logical to keep the specialization of each regiment (send catachans for guerilla jungle warfare, Krieg for Sieges and Trench warfare, etc etc), but standardize their equipment so they are all using the same type of lasgun and same overall pattern of armor, albeit configurable (sort of like how the MkX armor is supposed to be modular)

Configurable armor would actually be doable in a single box set; furry parts for winter armor / valhalla, gasmasks for Krieg, and so on.

This is GW, the Imperial Guard is nothing but cannon fodder that gets ground up into whatever warzone is nearest. Whatever they look like, to GW they are nothing but sods who are supposed to look inept and die in droves.

Here's the original design by the way:

This is the "small" carbine lasgun currently available. Notice that after the magwell (the area the magazine or "clip" is inserted), there is more "furniture" or barrel shroud. This is followed by even more barrel, consistent with most battle rifles in use today.



Notice here, the actual size of the magazine appears smaller and the barrel starts almost immediately after the magwell. This tells me, either the weapon is a pistol (which might make sense given how big the front sight appears to be) or the weapon is smaller.. ie.. for a smaller individual.



Given how thick the barrel is in relation to the rest of the weapon, and how the body of the weapon from the trigger guard back seems to be very high and thin, I am going to say this is a pistol.

As someone else has pointed out.. it bares resemblance..



According to Lexicanum, Kal was last seen on Necromunda, performing missions for his family (royalty). Maybe this isn't a 40k release.. maybe it's something to do with Necromunda? Given the success of Shadow War.. I dunno..

I'm guessing a new AdMech unit; something similar to Vanguard or Rangers, but with Lasguns.

Yeah, I wish. Could always buy some of the new Guard unit and give them hoods and cyberbits.

Scions go really well with Skitarii arms and Vanguard helmets.

New las-variant of some sort.

Plastic rattling sniper confirmed

maybe new master-crafted laspistol?

How about a new Creed model? He's pretty likely to get one eventually, and a new stat line. His pistols were always kinda an iconic thing for him.

I'm not saying it's potentially Necromuna, but it's potentially Necromunda.

That's quite unlikely, considering how he's now a part of Trazyn's collection.
Then again, maybe he'll make a guest appearance in the necron / ad mech codex.

The shrine bit from before could possibly be a backpack topper for Grey Knights of some sort.

Laspistol, there are a ton of units that use laspistols that could use new plastic models. Guard of various types, inquisitiorial acolytes could use a kit, Imperial priest all come to mind.

Seeing how the grenades and gun point to IG, I'm guessing the shrine bit also is probably IG as it lacks much detail that a small model army would want.

Might be a new kit for a command squad.

Lol! Have an exalt!

I really hope it is part of a new imperial guard range. New troops, command squad and heavy cross compatible with the neophytes and skitarii.
This would get me to start a new army.
That said there were pretty substantial rumours of an actual new Necromunda so it could be that.

As much as I would love this to be Kal Jerico's pistol, I think it is more likely something for an plastic inquisitor kit? Is Imperial Agents/Inquisition it's own thing? Or is it possible they are lumped in with the Grey Knights? Or possibly (dont throw stones!) Sisters of Battle? Anyway, I'll leave that brain worm here.

Edit: On second thought, if it were for an Inquisitor (or Kal Jerico for that matter) it would likely have some engraving or some embellishments on it. Inquisitorial Henchmen sprue? or some new Imperial Guard command sprue?
