Maybe these will be another killteam faction with codex rules more akin to grenadiers than stormtroopers. Less drop troop/special forces, more heavy infantry/hold the line types. It’s definitely kasrkin.

I don't usually pay attention to Valrak, cause clickbait, but here's a posting from today:
Lots of New stuff for the Imperial Guard:
New Tank (Apparently named Rogal Dorn Battle Tank)
New Kasrkin Kit
New Sentinel Kit
New Veteran Cadians/Command Squad
New HQs
The tank, Kasrkin, veteran Cadians, and HQs were things we "knew".
The Sentinel is the Big Surprise. Assumption is that it's adding a new sprue with some additional crew bits and weapon options.

Rogal Dorn seems like a much more suitable Primarch to name a tank after than Russ!
Guess it opens the door up to future variants named after each of them. Maybe a Sanguinius-class aircraft?

It's called the Russ because the SW found the STC for it.

Rogal Down Mobile Fortress I'd be down for that. Don't know why we need a new Sentinel though. What's wrong with the current one? It took all four varieties of Sentinel (vanilla, Catachan, Armoured/Cadian, Enclosed/Steel Legion) and combined them into a single kit and added Plasma Cannons and Missile Launchers as options.

This would be fantastic! I have a strong feeling it will be Ynnari or another Marine Box….mostly likely Marines…because they really don’t have enough. Another chance is that it’s the Nids box getting announced ahead of the book that is coming soon.

Just like the Leman Russ, I hope the Dorn tank have no visual link to the Imperial Fist.
But I want to see a conversion of a giant, metallic/mechanized, tank-sized handlebar mustache on it though

I think I just threw up a little. Also, considering GWs latest Tank designs, it dreads me to think how that tank will look like.

Maybe a drop sentinel with the heavy bolter and multi melta options? Preferably with an elysian crew, but more likely they could do a standard and tempestus decor parts.

You know it's not going to technically be an update, right, just an overlapping new unit that makes the old one obsolete. See Mek Gunz vs Big Gunz.

It could also be a fact that the Sentinel is too cheap and GW wants to avoid just pricehiking it so they throw in an additional sprue for some cents and hike the price that way and sell it as new and improved tm.

It's possible the new Sentinel kit is linked to the "2 new regiments thing" that's been mentioned. It is odd that it needs redoing, maybe they're just updating it because it's an older kit?

This is not a rumor, just me musing, but I wonder what's the likelihood that one of the elite regiments is Elysians and the redone Sentinel has the Drop Sentinel upgrades in it

Extremely small as there has been no mention of Elysians...but there is a chance that it's adding another sprue's worth of equipment and pilot bits to the kit. Someone else mentioned the Sentinel Powerlifter--and that might not be a bad shout, opening up the kit for use in the upcoming Ash Wastes stuff for Necromunda. If I had to make a bet? I would say it's to add the Jump Sentinel in--something out of the old Visions of Heresy books that the Imperial Army had. Standard Sentinels but with limited jump capacity.

You all realize it was a joke, right? The punchline is that Arkhan Land was extremely proud of his work, and consequently became super whiney when everyone assumed that the vehicles he named after himself were instead called that for, you know, the obvious reason. There's even an IA book which mentions him writing a huge manifesto about it.
I know it's in vogue to make fun of the "Land Raider" stuff right now and pretend it's just the designers adding lore where there didn't need to be any, but the Land situation is absurd because it was written to be a joke at the Imperium's expense. Y'all think you're laughing at the GW writers, but in reality, you're laughing with them without realizing, which, arguably, makes you the butt of the joke.

There had been dozens of stories about secret tests of SM upgrades (like the Homo Sapiens Novus story, or all Cursed Founding lore, or hints about chapters having abnormal primaris-like traits, like Sons of Antaeus, or old stuff like Raven Guard Raptors, or [insert 50 more examples]), but yeah, sure, it's a ""retcon"" and ""no one"" noticed
It's funny, but somehow every single post whining about primaris lore shows complete ignorance of both actual primaris lore, and of 40k lore before it, and can be summed as " GW doesn't adhere to my fanfiction"...

Yeah, Corax doesn't exist, Bile's New Men or upgraded CSM from actual tabletop rules don't either, Mechanicus sure as hell never did Cursed Founding or sponsored Homo Sapiens Novus tests, or [insert 50 more examples].
You guys ever tried, like, reading any actual 40k lore? No, 4chan trash memes don't count, unless you want to look like 40k equivalent of flat earther or covid denier
