Imperial Guard Rumor Roundup

[SaveModifier]

Doom of malan'tai, Spore Pods, Genestealer Cult, Lost and the Damned, Nuadhu Fireheart, Chaos Cult Terminators, Chaos Cult Cybots, Iyanna Arienal, Doomrider, N'Kari, Beastmen, Squads, Harlequin Venom, Necron Pariah,...
Just to mention a few.

the first two didn't have a model
Genestealer cult was a few units from Rogue Trader and didn't get new models after that but yeah I suppose you could count them
lost and the damned didn't really have models and can now be used in 6th edition, allying chaos to IG
Nuandhu hasn't ever had a model
chaos cult terminators are available from FW and can be used as regular Chaos Terminators with Marks
I've never heard of cybots and can't find anything on them
Iyanna is mentioned in the supplement but never had a model either
doomrider yes, finally had a model and isn't in the rules but can still be used as a chaos champion on a bike
N'kari was never a unit in the game
Beastmen are still in the WFB but if you mean IG Abhuman regiments, you could still use those as IG and people do, Victoria Miniatures make some lovely ones.
Squats, again, no new 40k models since Rogue Trader but yeah, I guess so, but there were only ever about 4 people with Squat armies
Venoms are still in the game
Necron Pariah's ok, this is the first real unit that has been taken out of the game, you could still use the models as Lychguard as they both have the same weapons.

So, there is not much there that you would have bought in the last 20 years that you couldn't use in an army today.

honestly, all that i want is a supplement codex 'tank company'

man, that would be pretty cool. I don't care for your meltas and me not being able to score top positions in any tournament with that codex, but it would be cool to use. Leave those footsloggers at home, use all tanks. I mean, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

And yes, there would be enough content for such a supplement.
Additional skills available for HQ and elite choices.
Hell, maybe the possibility to take 0-1 Baneblades as your HQ. At least that would be fitting.
You could include some Forgeworld variants like the Destroyer as an Elite or the Thunderer as a heavy support choice.
How about some pilots for your battle tanks? If there's a Pask, there may be other (newly invented) skilled commanders, too.

Look no further than Imperial Armour #1 second edition, it literally has EVERYTHING you just requested and its totally legit

Week 1: three kits:

- Ogryns/Bullgryns plastic combo-kit (one unit with ranged weapons, the other with giant shields and close combat weapons)
- Stormtroopers/Veterans combo-kit
- Unseen "Big transport" kit.

This new vehicle is said to be able to move entire squads of Ogryns and other stuff (so apparently more transport space than the Chimera). This kit is said to be roughly Land Raider sized. Previous "big tank" chatter over a month ago has also described it as being influenced by the Forgeworld Malcador's design.

Cool! Sounds good Bigred
I look forward to those great models
A big Transport would be awesome and if the new Ogryns are cool enough I might finally add some to my army!

Sword n' Board Ogryns???? I would love a unit or two of those!

Been talking to Reecius on Frontline, and it sounds like the odds of them allowing Forgeworld army lists is getting pretty good, too. Once they do it, more people will start allowing it as well.

I really hate them releasing models before the codex.

"Yay! New models! Wait...what do I put on them?"

You know you could just wait a week if you are that concerned.

I for one am looking forward to IG, even though I can't really afford to start a new army. But an allied contingent might be fun...
