Ms Creed looks good, not sure about the Sentinel, just seems to be a straight replacement that doesn't seem needed.

That Kasrkin looks good! I'm curious if the idea is to field them as a veteran unit in a Cadian list or if they have the ability to be fielded on their own like Scions.

That Kasrin looks pretty good. It's just a shame that they're unlikely to update the basic troopers, as they got an upgrade sprue recently. We of course have the excellent looking Kriegers, but they don't visually go that well with these Kaskrin.

Cool. I'll definitely get a box of those Kasrkins.

There's literally supposed to be a new Cadian box that the upgrade sprue was intended for.

Well I hope so. I really like the look of Cadians, but the sculps are old and need a refresh

The Kasrkin looks fantastic, I’ve always liked those models and this looks basically the same so a win in my books.

New special character, in the supposed nameless horde of the imperial guard, meh.

New sentinel, fine as long as the old one stays as it should, it’s nice. Choice is good.

New kasrkin. Now that’s what we want. Lovely.

Kasrkin is okay but inferior to the originals. Noticably lighter, even though there seems to be only a couple of armour plates missing it has a huge effect. Still pretty cool though I'll buy some.

Oh? I haven't heard of this. IIRC, it wasn't part of the giant rumour dump that has been super reliable.

I'm not sure on the new Kasrkin, it comes across as less like full-body carapace suit because of the lack of thigh armour. That seems like quite an odd change and I don't think it's a good one.

Wow that new Kasrkin looks great. The narrowness of the gasmask really looks excellent.

I'm really keen for this release.

Spoiler:


It was literally right there. The upgrade sprue intention part is not there, admittedly, but the new Cadian bit is.

Upgrade sprue part is something that is working off speculation/deduction.

Thigh armor is there, it's just being obscured by the jacket hanging down.

Ooooh, some nice looking kits. So long as they don't get rid of the old Sentinel kit the new one looks ok enough. The real question that comes to mind is will its legs be poseable like the current kit. That right there is what sold me on the current kit, being able to basically angle the legs however the hell you want to is great.

The new Kasrkin look nice as well, I wonder what kind of kit options there will be. I have plenty of the metals, but if 1 box gives a bunch of options the old kits never got to spread amongst them...

Sooo, that's not actually what it said, and you're just making it up?

Yep. "Astra Militarum with veteran-style Cadians" is talking about the Kaskrin.

Spoiler:


You can interpret it that way, if you see fit. That rumour dump does however also single out "New Kasrkin".

The simple fact that they didn't actually redo the Cadians as a "new" setup, ala the Fire Warriors lends waaaaaaaay more credence to what I said than anything else.
