New lasgun/IG

Definitely a las-something. With an interesting powerpack placement, too.

Does anyone recognize this as similar to an old model? Is it a redesign or brand new?

>>54537573

Looks a bit like a retarded M16 to me. I am exited. For the love of all that is holy give us something awesome.

It's a bit different but also a bit like poc related so who knows? I'd love plastic IG like that in any case, and GW has shown a distinctive taste for references to old stuff recently, when they're not outright just taking old stuff and making it just more modern, so there's hope. We tend to know pretty quickly what it really is anyway, like a month after a rumour engine maximum.

Old-school Guard confirmed, they'll probably get a codex later this year as these hints dont go longer than 3 months before being revealed.

>>54537573
Powerpack seems really close to the barrel, so laspistol maybe?

>>54537573
Ah, the MULTILAS BEAMSTORMER, a deadly weapon used by PRIMARIS FINALISERS IN GOTO-PATTERN TERMINATOR ARMOUR. It can take out an Eldar's kidneys from an impressive range!

>>54537799
christ, gw writing is so shit that this sounds better.

>>54537573
That's either a trigger or a wire on the end, it's probably a pistol though by the look of the size of it

It'll be a Primaris Lasncannon.

>>54537573
probably another primaris weapon.

>>54537711
Plus the trigger guard is right behind it.

If it's a pistol, then presumably we're getting new Guard characters. Maybe plastic Creed? He always had 2 hotshot pistols.

>>54538149
I just hope it's not some bullshit model like an inquisitor or that kind of non-UG model.

>>54538256
Plastic inquisition stuff would be nice too. Though plastic guard would sell better and be easily converted into =][= models anyways.

Actually, notice how Inquisition acolytes are getting kinda standardized as 'flak armor dudes with stormbolters', which really never existed prior? Sounds suspiciously like a kit.

Also, didn't old school imperial army basically look like Elysians? Or rather, Elysians looked like them.

>>54537799
This is, of course, assuming that Eldar even have kidneys.

looks kinda puny if the iron sights is the indication of the weapon size.

Most definitely it's guard.
Marine lasers are all big ol cannons which gets power fed through backpack tubes

>>54537573

The enlongated barrel leads me to believe its an officer's weapon.

Some dead cultist's lasgun that is debris on some Primaris's base.

>>54540704

Kek.

All cultists models have been depicted as using auto-weapons not lasguns.

Fuck, we need SMALLER guard models, with proper proportions to be truescale, not bigger ones.
It's probably a named character update, all guard ones are ancient. Could be a sergeant pistol either though. Cadians with DKOK proportions are a must.

Under slung on what? The fists?

>>54537573

Looks like the barrel is short.
So it's probably a pistol or a carbine.
My hopes are for a new non-Cadian infantry box.

I would gladly drop a fair share of bucks if it was Steel Legion or something similar looking like >>54537653

No, his dick.

>>54541981
Same. If IG gets a decent looking infantry kit I'll consider playing them. I don't want to fork out for FW/metal stuff, and I'm not into the GI Joe Cadians at all.
Here's hoping it's Steel Legion with actually human proportions.

I am a faggot who will always maintain that the Steel Legion is based on a mix of all WW2 forces, particularly Brits and Germans. In the meh game, they had British accents, and most of them are recruited from hive gangs, which doesn't sound that strongly German.

Though frankly the main reason I argue this is because so many people consider them little more than discount Kriegers these days, and I want them to be distinct from the Deaf Corpse.

>>54542814

No worries, just a sudden stab of nostalgia.

One of these days soon ill have to make the drive down and bring them back. Maybe even start playing again now that I've kind of have the time more or less.

This is modern GW, if it was an inquisitor it would be overwrought with excess detail and patterns and shit that makes it into a big visual mess.

>>54546029
True. Let us have hope then!

>>54541915
A better question is why it even has fists when he can't use them for anything other than powerscratching his powerdick because the guns get in the way.

>>54537573
Mold line is too small for laspistol. Im gonna guess its some kind of lasrifle for Terran Guard or something. That or 35mm Primus Guardsmen who wear stilts.

>>54543413
It's always seemed almost like an intentional joke that the "Steel Legion" are clearly inspired by the Afrika Korps while the "Death Korps of Krieg" are clearly inspired by the French army circa WW1.

>>54546414
Steel legion are WW2.
DKK are WW1.
Both combine elements from both sides.

>>54540812
that face is amazing, what model is it from?

It's either Praetorians or Mordians.

>>54546587
Mordians definitely don't have that gun design.

Who knows, maybe it'll be a brand new regiment.

>>54546587
I can say with complete certainty that it will be neither of those (or any existing historical-based regiment).

>>54546642
Some inside info or just deduction?

I'MMA FIRIN MA LAZZZURRR

>>54546642
>>54546852
I'm inclined to agree that they'll be something new because they need the regiment to be maximally copyrightable. Regiments based on historical designs are not that in the slightest.

>new regiment

you niggas is thinking too small time. We're gonna see the new Robouty Gullyman model for the Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum - one of the few things he DIDN'T design before he was snakeraped. Remember the IG has always been an adhoc solution to a lack of legions, an outgrowth of the Imperial Army Auxillia that existed during the Crusade - in essence, there was only PDF pre heresy.

>>54546932
True, the Copyrights is something to be considered.

Anyone else think it could be Ultramar Auxilia?

>>54547075
>>54547034
these

>>54547075
Huh. That never occurred to me, but it would make a lot of sense, thematically. GW could even play up the thing of the Cadian models being the standard for the north-western half of the galaxy and the Ultra-guard being the standard for the south-east.

>>54546852
The latter. Consider the following.

1) Nobody can deny GW is full on paranoid about IP protection and trying to make everything ocdonotsteal as possible now.
2) The Perry bros were the history buffs who sculpted those and they're no longer doing stuff for GW.
3) GW has been getting most of their inspiration for recent releases from old RT/2e era stuff.

From this I would bet that if this is a new guard release that it will be a new regiment that contains some design refs to stuff like >>54537653 and maybe these guys.

>>54547300
>Human bomb

Now that's just barbaric.

>>54547300
Sounds good to me!
I'm all up for trenchcoats and gazmasks guards.

>>54537697

With Cadia kind of exploded, it'd make sense that other recruiting worlds might become more favored, as you can't recruit from a planet that's been reduced to an asteroid field and subsequently consumed by the Eye of Terror.

Of course, there's apparently hundreds of "Nova Cadia"s out there, planets that have been settled by retired Cadian regiments and have taken up their old homeworld's namesake, or so fluff says, but that's probably a fig leaf for people wanting fluff justification for their Cadians.

38KB, 712x469px

>>54547505
That and the fact that we know that several cadian regiments (now called orphans of the storm) weren't on Cadia.

The best fan foction I've seen about Cadia is how the remaining guardsmen are still fighting in the Eye of Terror, dying and being revived every time, just like that Ork Tuska on a khornate world in eternal battle.
Because that's what the guard does, they die standing.

>>54547618
On the one hand that is indeed a very 'warp fuckery' thing to happen, on the other hand this guard wank is almost getting as bad as the Space Marine or Chaos wank

In fact, is there a single fucking faction not full of obnoxious wank aside from the Orks? I suppose there are the eldar who are in universe cunts but are explicitly the universes punching bag, the Tyranids who are supposed to be wank but are basically the jobbers to end all job, and the Necrons who are too busy being the only sane things in creation to wank too much

And come to think of it, the Sisters of Battle and Inquisition and Adeptus Mechanicus fail/job all the time. So really it's just the Space Marines, Chaos factions, and the Imperial Guard

>>54547300
I'd love to be proven wrong, but "plastic greatcoat guard" is the longest standing complete bunk rumour, that has somehow managed to persistently be a thing since... before the plastic cadians came out in the early '00s.

A more realistic guess is some kind of character or fringe/specialist release, rather than an entirely new guard infantry line. Shit I'd sooner expect it being a plastic necromunda-style hive ganger box to go with Shadow War than a proper guard release.

>>54547665
Sooo the heroes, the main bad guys (at least in the new fluff, now that chaos is certified biggest threat) and thr trusty sidekicks? Sounds fairly logical to me.

>>54547671
I have to admit, I chuckled.

I don't think the "default" guard will have coats like that either, but there are other elements of the design that could be incorporated into hypothetical new guard.

Anyone got a pic of that model?

>>54547683
You're probably right on that it won't be some new guard regiment they're pushing as mainline, especially when they still have a bunch of ideas. Could take advantage of the Genestealer stuff being set on Armageddon to have an Armageddon Steel revival, or they could push with Catachans again, or some other regiment that's fallen by the wayside in terms of fluff.

What would Primaris Guardsmen even look like?

>>54547977

They could just get some old artwork, as they're fond of doing, and cleaning up the design for a model to fit with the new miniature lines.

But if they're releasing a finished guardsmen box, I'm probably caving and getting a few to play with for Inq28. Some astra dudes should by all rights make excellent conversion fodder, given how GSC minis, Scions, and Skitarii are now staples for conversion fodder.

>>54547997
Probably vaguely normal humans instead of obese 4 foot tall gamers.

That's not likely since the codex has been leaked already and no primaris unit other than the repressor tank has a las weapon option of any kind.

So most likely it's a guard or generically imperial unit or character.

I'd sooner believe that it was a solar, or just straight up Imperial Auxillia. Guilliman seems like the kind of guy who would order regiments to combine on a large scale.

Obviously we would still have our classic regiments, but a portion of all recruits would be allocated to this new mega-regiment.

Armageddon Steel Legionnaires have a paratrooper harness with a British greatcoat, right? Pretty sure the greatcoat isn't what a paratrooper would wear, and though I guess the gun is right, they're more mechanized than like the Eylsians.

Even then, it's like how in WFB the German-inspired Empire still makes use of a lot of English, no one really has German accents, and occasionally some German-sounding words are tacked on to places.
