Obvious to me, it's new imperial guard rough riders. Blow away everyone all at once. Boom.

Yes! the vanguard of an infantry baddallion of all regiments with attendant command and specialist squads, to be featured in the new codex

Looking at the scars, the pointed metal shoe etc I’d be thinking it’s not order.

Looking more like chaos or death.
Considering the soulblight push I’d hope for blood knights that you don’t need to mortgage a house for.

I'd be alright with plastic blood knights, they can't be more expensive than the current, I'd hope.

Though really, I am putting my imaginary money on Rough Riders. It would catch everyone by surprise.

That bad looks.deduded non Astartes...

Do Astra Militarum have any Medics today? I know they used to back in the Rogue Trader days...

Sisters won't carry bags around, it's too plain for Mechanicus, to "normal" for Genestealer cults (besides they already have their medic type, right). Can't see that it's anything other than AM.

Unless it's for a boxed game.

Guard field hospital faction terrain?

Really looks like it fell from a plastic 40k RPG box.

There are parts for medics in the cadian and catachan command squads.

I think we aren't just getting a few catachan, I think we are getting a full revamp of them now to be honest.

Poor Eldar.

Ah, yes faction terrain.

M*A*S*H - Militarum Astra Surgical Hospital

There is a medic in the Scions command squad as well.

Well, that’s a.......mixed bag

100% a medics bag, rather than a “spit and staples” field kit.

Add this to the possibly Ecclesiarchy bits from last year’s, and I think we might just be looking at a significant IG revamp.

MEDIC!!

He's Dead Jim

*sound of bag closing and Medic walking away

No idea what it could be for, but I'm excited to see that piece itself become available

IG and Scions can take a medic in their command squads. I doubt it is Scion as their kit is quite new.
It is interesting to see that there is quite a lot of detail on just the medics bag. It looks like the interior even has something going on. This makes me think it may be more for a character in a stand alone game more than a throw away medic in a command squad.
I hope i'm wrong though. I've been waiting for the IG revamp for years

God, I hope it is a Medic for a revamped Imperial Guard Squad

New imperial guard? I can only hope.

If we're lucky, it's part of an update to the infantry squads. Never made sense that the medics were just in Command Squads.

Could be a new infantry character to be honest. A roving medic, if you will.

Possibly new Guard? That would be long overdue. The Catachans have aged terribly, and the Cadians aren’t much better. The line doesn’t need a lot; new infantry kit, new command squad kit, new weapons team kit and you are good to go. I just hope they don’t try to charge 60 dollars for 10 Guardsmen.

Could you imagine,

Squad medic +10pts

So long as the infantry squads medic is alive return D3 dead guardsmen to the unit during the command phase.

That would be so much fun and fluffy.

You know what I want? For command squads to come back but sort of in the style of the Triumph of St Katherine. Specifically; a 7-9 (depending on rank) wound infantry model that can embark but counts as five models, and can have various abilities added, which switch off as it loses wounds. No more screwing around with dumb bodyguard rules and no more buying four units to do the job of one. All on a single 80mm base.

I actually thought that would be a good solution to horde units in general, for example once a unit is larger then 10 models in list design it goes on a movement base and counts as a large multi wound single unit that degrades. It's still a bit clunky but I feel like it makes life a bit easier logistically plus you can better control how they degrade so things like orks or genestealers don't lose out on like 10-20 attacks because of a single dead guy but instead you could degrade the bases attacks by like 5 for example.

Oh that's a nice med bag! I loved the old RT medics and Apothecaries (despite generally disliking Mahreenz).

I would love a dedicated medic mini along the lines of the metal Cadian one from the old command squad. Maybe the new Guard dex will make command squads & commanders a single entity again? Splitting them out always felt like a bad idea to me.

It'll be another store anniversary model, or maybe a special let's help out the FLGS by having a Doctor (Hopefully Dr. House) who is going around to give vaccine shots. It'll be hard as heck to get ahold of and go on ebay for absurd amounts. We can only hope it matches up with the Catchcan models they did last year.

Codex: Imperial Equipment. You can take bags and gear for Imperial armies, to attach to units like equipment cards, and function like grot orderlies and ammo runts.

This wouldn't surprise me at all

Please let this be so. Catachans are my favorite guard unit and the only thing that has kept me from getting some were the hideous tumor ridden arms of the old models.
