A few days
ago, the following image was posted by Games Workshop as one of their
Rumour Engine posts:
It shows, as
you can see, a las weapon. Obviously, its hard to get an idea of
scale in these images and that's intentional but its looks a lot to
me like that's a laspistol. I think at the left-hand edge of the
image there's a trigger guard and this is meant to be a pistol based
on something like a Second World War luger or the like.
So its time
to cross all fingers and delude myself into believing that Guard in
great coats are coming. If I'm right about the inspiration behind
that design it might be Valhallans or Steel Legion, maybe even Death
Korps of Krieg. What's more, Warhammer TV's Tip Of The Day used a
Forge World miniature for the first time ever and it was a Death
Korps trooper.
I really,
really want new core plastics for Guard. The Catachan Infantry Squad
has been showing its age for years and I am so damn tired of painting
Cadians.
What's more,
Guard are one of the easier armies to create a new infantry range
for. You need three pre-defined kits: Command Squad, Infantry Squad
and Heavy Weapons Squad. Beyond that all the tanks and fliers are
interchangeable, you just need a couple of extra heads on the
Infantry Squad sprue to add some flavour to tank commanders.
I would
absolutely love to have a Steel Legion or Valhallan army. Both have
such great looks to them in theory but, sadly, in practice they are
ancient metal sculpts that look terrible.
(I'd
actually prefer Vostroyans to all of it but even in wishlisting this
deluded I have to admit that some things aren't even this likely...)
