This seems to partly confirm Mordian Glory/Auspex Tactics' leak videos:

Yup. That model exactly matches the description from the videos.

Sentinel leaked too:

Looks like they are making the armored and scout sentinels into distinct kits. Nice.

I'm not saying that Sentinel is dreadful, but it is a scientifically proven fact that round things are heretical. It needs to better emulate glorious brick shape for the greater glory of the Emperor.

Eeewwwww. Look at that gross thing.

Guess I'll need to get a few of the current sentinals then.

The Omnissiah approves of this new Mars pattern Sentinel

Yeah but... why? The current one doesn't look bad by Imperial Guard standards

All hail Lady Creeda!

I believe Victoria Miniatures already has a female Creed if anyone wants to get a jump start

I don’t dislike the new sentinel, but the current one is pretty damn perfect imo. Hopefully it is a case of differentiating between Armoured and Scout Sentinels.

I loveses them.

I need to see more pics from all angles to properly judge the new Sentinel. So far it looks ok.

Not a fan of the new Sentinel.

I much prefer my current AT-ST's.

It also has a more archaic look that wouldn't be wildly out of place in, say, a Solar Auxilia force or a Tempestus Scions force...

Wonder how it will look with GSC bits....

The new sentinel does have some Cawl Redemptor Dreadnought vibes, so maybe he updated the design? I have mixed feelings on it, but I held off on buying the current kit because its a bit dated, so I'm happy

Agreed actually, it would probably fit better there than the current one. I’d like both options rather than this replace the existing one.

Come to think of it, wouldn't look out of place in an AdMech force either...

I've been kinda/sorta wondering if we'll see Thallax or Tech-Guard show up at some point. Could see this showing up too.

Hell, might even show up in Leagues!

On the one hand, I am happy to see that Cadians will not be seen abandoned any time soon and it is great that there more female representation. And while I am happy with my Sentinels as they are, at least the new model is looking decent and not Primaris levels of Homer Simpsons Car of the Future bonkers.

On the other, I really hope it is not Creeds daughter and instead someone that got promoted by their background of (hopefully not 5th edition level Marneus Calgar levels of) tactical genius. But what I worry most is that this should be it, there won't be a massive overhaul for Guard and with the known and highly rumoured kits, that means we will not see additional infantry regiments or even just a refresh of the Catachans. Anytime before 10th or let's be honest, 11th, that is.

I seriously don't get where these guys see their priorities. Might be that their vision was the inspiration for that one Catachan model's paintjob. You know which one I'm talking about.

Ooooh, that's what it is. Its an Onager on two legs.



I have also learned while googling that image that an onager is a donkey. Which is why its call a M.U.L.E. in 40k. I am so angry.

I said this when the name first leaked, but I'm leaning towards the moniker "Creed's Daughter" being an assumed title. He was a war orphan and was basically assigned a surname as far as I can recall.


Random bit of speculation, but the Sentinel might be intended to also double up as a "Command Sentinel". That diamond with skull looks remarkably officer-ish...

I really like the new Sentinel. Then again I also really like the old Sentinel, and I have like eight of those. Luckily this new one can be an Imperial Sentinel, and my old Sentinels can be GSC Sentinels (which is what I bought them for anyway, so it's a win!).

I was hoping for more of a not-quite-sexy militant librarian look on Lady Creed. Definitely not Squat Ancient in Creed Cosplay, as amusing as it would be to imagine the squats going "well crap, they lost their Creed and if their lines collapse we'll get dragged down too. Alright, fire up the Votann. Wait, it wants us to do WHAT!?"

Well, that is boring.

Being an orphan in no way precludes him from having children, or passing down his 'assigned' name.

Sentinel seems fine. I want a better look at the left side without... whatever bits and bobs are around it before passing judgement though.

That was my first thought too. Sentinels don't really need an update, and from the photo this new model doesn't seem to be much of an upgrade anyway.


The kit most in need of an update is the Catachan infantry. The Catachan Command Squad and Catachan Heavy Weapon Teams are more or less OK as they are, the infantry have been terrible since Day 1. Especially considering that Day 1 was a couple of decades ago.

I like that Kasrkin are making a comeback (I'm unlikely to replace my metal Kasrkin with them though). The rest of the new releases don't seem that interesting though.

Not arguing there's no way for it to be an actual relative--it just is a hunch. It's the kind of thing that plays to a trope and would totally fit.

That sentinel isn't bad really, just a little odd. Maybe a bit too clean? I wonder if they'll give an in-game reason for the upgrade..

Still at least it means the Guard are definitely on the horizon.

In game upgrades are usually 'other patterns of <vehicle> from various Forge Worlds that were always in production this whole time' or 'found an older STC version that was better.'
Space marine tank variants had a special case of 'techmarines in <chapter> have been doing this unauthorized modification for a while now, but it just got approved by the AdMech recently for wider use.

Or, for the HH vehicle kits, 'rare now, but always existed, honest.'

Eh...the Guard had plenty of "unauthorized modifications" that went legit.

Thunderer, for example, is a field-expedient mod of a Destroyer Tank Hunter. Same with the Stormsword superheavy.

Scuttlebutt is this is supposed to be a "Mars pattern" Sentinel.

Is it called that in the rumors somewhere? I only called it that because it has design cues from some of the Admech vehicles.

Personally convinced this is just a kit for an armored sentinel, not replacing the existing one.
