On pg. 16 in the picture of the Mordian Iron Guard, there is clearly seen a monkey in guardsmen clothing. Look right underneath the cuff on the sergeants coat.

In Vino Veritas. ("In wine there is truth.")

"If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo down through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy." -Fabius Bile

I think it's just a constipated deformed guardsman.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

That pic is in all the guard codexs I think. At least 2. That is really really funny somebody else noticed that. For years i've always assumed the imperium had monkey men because of that pic.

Yeah I don't think that's meant to be a monkey. Look at some of the other faces - not all of them are very well defined either.

I thought so too until I saw the hand.... and the combination of the hand AND the face.... he's clearly a monkey. It's either the artists satire about how Mordians are just overgrown monkeys in uniforms...... or the mordians have killer ninja monkeys squads in their armies.

I sense monkey penal squads in the near future.

They're awesome cause you get to roll for what kind of poop they throw when you deploy them.

I enjoy the hidden monkey, but I thought the thread at first was referring to the officer in the painting section that appears on the top of the page. On one side he is an officer with a plasma pistol and power sword. on the other side he is the exact same model but he is called an officer with a power sword and a plasma pistol. Those tricky GW blokes! ;P

Or maybe one of the Devs is a fan of the Karmens from AT-43?

"I went into a hobby-shop to play m'self a game,
The 'ouse Guru 'e up an' sez "The Guard is weak and lame!"
The Chaos gits around the shelves they laughed and snickered in my face,
I outs into the street again an' grabbed my figure-case."
Oh it's "Angels this" an' "Space-wolves that", and "Guardsmen, go away!";
But it's "Thank you for the ordnance" when the Guard begins to play,
O it's "LOOK AT ALL THE ORDNANCE!" when the Guard begins to play.."

That's a monkey?

See, I always though that that was just a poorly drawn face.

Ahahahaa...one time I joked about having an army of those powder monkeys from the Empire...must do it for my praetorians!
