There's a human auxiliary/ contingent that has been shown and teased. Second are some vehicles options of the hover kind, and third was a heavy armored infantry type.

More to come in a couple of days....

Isn’t it probably just squats vs imperial guard? Those hover trikes and infantry are things we have seen aren’t they?

Removed.

Whoever that is, those humans looked pretty cool to me. If they aren't the Voltan Human Axillary troops, then the error's on me. It's not like I'm married to information, the way some people are acting here.

31'st is going to be more about all this stuff they spoke of in the teaser.

You've gone straight to being rude and insulting because you made a mistake.

Seriously, have you not been paying attention to the Leagues? It's as if you saw those in the video and just assumed they were new units without even checking (even though they're units we've seen multiple times), then for some strange reason thought being needlessly vague about it was a good idea before deciding to start insulting people.

Let it go, you'll thank yourself for it later.

I think they match a conversion from a recent issue of White Dwarf, showcasing Guard regiments. Issue 474, the Ventrillians.

If that is a new Guard regiment, can you point me in the right direction from where they come from?

Getting that wrong isn't a problem.

But you made a claim about new units without any further thought - and it was something that wasn't some difficult to find information about the Leagues, but 3 of their main units that have been shown several times, suggesting you haven't been paying attention to them in the first place
Then you're needlessly vague about where the "new units" are shown, twice
Then you call someone "difficult" for asking you to give the specific time rather than be vague
Then you start being insulting and rude - in multiple posts - because of the mistake you made as, if you're not at fault

That's a guard regiment that is a conversion who's popped up a couple of times. Ventrulian nobles or something like that, adding WFB (and perhaps Bloodbowl) heads to Cadians.

It's cool that GW are showcasing conversions (especially ahead of a new Guard book), but yeah, these guys are from a known army. They're not Votan.

It's not new.

It's Chris Peach's Ventrillian Nobles.
They've been around since 2017, where they appeared in the codex even.

Issue 474, the Ventrillians. Probably a staffer's personal army. Also, this photo, source unknown.

Chris Peach's army.

Always really liked them, such a simple change and yet so effective, given I'm pretty sure they're all stock Cadians outside the helmets

Yes, That's the one.

I'm in error on them being a new squat unit, but I think I've found me a new platoon to add to my Kill team.

Thanks for setting me straight on the IG.

They'll be talking more about the squats on the 31st, then adding the Battle report looks like what I was referencing...

You'll probably hear more about the tank, later.

For reference, this image is lifted from the 8th ed Imperial Guard Codex, page 79, though it does have a caption there that isn't present on this version.

Scratch build. They have been seen before. Pistolier helmets for example.


No way gw will add scratch build ig as squat unit box would be super expensive being combination multiple kits for one. No way to have just those heads...you would get 10 pistoliers without heads alongside.

Cool models though. Too bad not cheap to make outside gw studio.

coin next month so that probably mean the codex is due then too (although it could be the GW 30th of the pre-order month counts as that month)

That'll be good. Interesting to see the scale.

That's an auroch bolter isn't it? So that's what they are supposed to look like.

The decoration being a decal rather than something actually physically on the weapon itself like all the other bolters have is a bit of a shame.

Have they shown the helmet before on this basic squat trooper? I think it works well enough.

They have, it was seen in the reveal of a full squad of Hearthkyn.

Thanks. I'll have to take another look then.

So far my favorite model/unit previewed is definitely the exoskeleton heavy gunners.

Is it a helmet or is the face of another one of those robot dudes?

Yes they have, and yes it's a helmet, because they repeatedly shown off troopers with the visor both fully down and partially lifted in the past.

It’s a squat with a visor, not an AI

Ironically, judging by the rest of the body, it IS an AI, it's just wearing a regular Squat helmet over it's Ironkin metal noggin.

Since 9e codexes they have actually started to refer store date as month. Dg and ba were marked month x(october or november), preorder previous month. That was when i noticed the change to marketing.

Likely because they couldn't nail down a specific week due to shipping issues.

For those without WH+, here is the army list for the LoV battle report part 1:

Huh, that's a rather small army, and of course, only units we saw in full. How many points is the battle?
