That does sort of look like new basic infantry in the back there.

It also looks like you can see the scout variant of the new sentinel in back.

O CAAAAAAAAAADIAAAAAAA...


But really. This is exciting.

What's the gun on the infantry guy next to the arrow pointing at the commissar? It doesn't entirely look like lasgun to me. More LMG.

The HWT teams look basically the same, but that's a lot of blur.

Could be regular Volleygun?

Spoiler:

I think it's a heavy stubber on the one guy. There's a belt feed that terminates in front of the leg rather than going around it.
There's also a plasma gun.

Little better quality

Okay I was wrong, that is a Hellgun.

Edit: You can see the thigh plates on the Sgt with the plasma pistol, as well, nice.

It's also clear that the shins are armoured (I was unsure from the initial pic). I take it back, I like these about as much as the old version, another absolute Banger GW!

Definitely looks like, at least, a command squad upgrade sprue for regular Cadians if not a new kit altogether on the right of the picture.

New heavy weapons teams too.

That new infantry kit looks great. The helmets look a lot more Armageddon Storm Trooper style and I like the smaller shoulder plates.


Looks like in the back the new grenade launcher looks exceedingly beefy.

I see stubber, grenade launcher and plasma on the guard in the back, a new commissar, and the command squad look different as well. Is that a guardswoman holding the standard?

Something about the Karskin looks off to me and I can't put my finger on it. They feel less weighty than the old metals maybe? I still like them. Also looks like they're on a different base to the other stuff so maybe they'll be for Kill-Team first.

Creed might be on the only Tactical Rock I don't hate.

Commissar looks much improved from the last plastic abomination.

Command Squad doesn't seem too different?

I like the running poses of the 'Veterans'.

That's all new Cadians in the back, right? No way they do a heavy/special/command squad without doing the basic squad as well.

100 percent new basic infantry kit in the back. Looks great, cannot wait.

Zoom in on the regular troops and command, looks good for an extensive range refresh. Would new tanks be too much to hope for? New tanks are very much needed imo.

Sadly looks like a new sentinel without armour in the back too so maybe the old one is done for after all. New infantry kits look interesting though.

Plain awesome stuff. Not sold on the armoured sentinel yet but everything else looks great from what I can tell.

I'm happy for IG players who have been waiting decades for this.

Powerfist on the Kasrkin and ccw on the sentinel. I like the pose of the standard bearer, very cool. Also the standard troops looking very dynamic, gj on whoever designed those.

Why are the Kasrkin's bases painted so differently?

Perhaps they're from a kill team set?

I have a bunch of cadians already. Very interested in the new kasrkin, commissar, sentinel, and (when we see it) tank. Could be convinced to make another squad or two if the new troop/command/heavy weapon squads look good close up.

Are they even painted at all?

I'd assume these are from a kill team set with pre-printed details, maybe an urban setting, looks like street markings. The guy aiming through the sights in the back seems to be standing on a tactical piece of debris, same with the plasma pistol dude.

Yes. They're painted in an urban setup with a bit of brown debris on them.

The commissar looks imposing.

What will happen to scions? The karsrkin look like they have the same options if not more

Kasrkin are Cadian locked...so nothing?

Or Kasrkins will be used to represent Grenadiers. Scions and Grenadiers have different roles, and I suspect the latter will have regular IG Regiment keyword, and no deep-strike, while the former will have Scions keyword, the hotshot volley-gun and deep-strike

Maybe, maybe not. "Grenadiers" is now specifically tied more towards the Death Korps than anything generic.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if Veterans with just lasguns went away to be replaced by Kasrkins/Grenadiers equivalents.

Yeah those are all-new infantry in the background there. And heavy weapons. And command elements. Bit surprising. I thought they'd release Death Korps stuff, not re-do Cadians.

Thicc Sentinel is fine I guess. Kasrkin are fine.

Don't worry. They'll all be a quarter inch taller than the original Kasrikin, so that'll make 'em look heavier.

I believe that there was a rumor of a new tank coming out called the Rogal Dorn tank.
