Imperial Guard Wishlist was little Imperial guard rumours

Gropius · 30-12-2008, 04:11

I didn't find this little info I got on the forums so here it goes.

1) Apparently the Griffon will be back in the artillery section.

2) Two different kinds of sentinels. The normal ones and others in support role. These can not scout but get heavier weapons (like plasma cannons).

3) At least one completely new unit and old units coming back (thats all I have been told)

I can't guarantee for the truth of these rumours and I am sorry if this has already been posted.

Commissar Danilov · 30-12-2008, 04:36

I was at my GW store today and the guy working there said that they are making a plastic version of the Vulture not the Valkyrie. Thats what he told me, I don't know if it is ture, or the other way around.

esk34 · 30-12-2008, 05:19

The new unit would probably be the valk. THe old units comming back would have to be the griffin and Leman Russ variants. (Vanquisher etc.)

The sential rumor sounds good, as long as they make them cheaper. At the moment a killer can or war waler puts a sentinal to shame as far as value for points goes.

Bun Bun · 30-12-2008, 05:20

I like the news regarding the new Sentinel. It may be only a rumour but still it is a welcome one to me.

T_55 · 30-12-2008, 05:23

Like sentinels with twin linked weapons?

That'd be a great opportunity for me, almost as great as plastic gretchin.

chaos0xomega · 30-12-2008, 05:53

no, prolly like the FW support sentinels with rocket pods/missile launchers

Yer thats what i was thinking. They might add another variant like the first commentor said with plasma cannon

I would prefer ones with multimelter

old unit coming back:

IG Jet Bikes??? havent heard any rumours regarding them, but it would be cool

even normal bikes would do

The valkyrie is a transport while the vulture is a gunship. I would prefer to see the transport vehicle from a gameplay point of view.

vladsimpaler · 30-12-2008, 07:35

Very cool, the nice thing about these rumors is that 1. There seems to be new stuff, and 2. It seems to confirm older stuff.

@ Danilov- The only thing I'm not sure about is the Vulture. Isn't it supposed to be a Valkyrie?

IG Jetbikes won't happen and what would we need IG bikes for if we have cav?

zombied00d · 30-12-2008, 07:51

Yeah I have to go with the Valkyrie being more likely as the Vulture is a straight up flyer.

I think it's safe to say that we won't see those, ever. Master Samuel or whatever of the Ravenwing purportedly rides the last known imperial jetbike. So I don't think we'll see the rank-and-file of the imperium getting them

Heavy weapons sentinels sounds good to me. The more heavy weapons I can get, the better.

Reflex · 30-12-2008, 08:21

hmm griffin mortar... if i remember correctly it was rather useless for points cost and what it could do thats why it wasn't a popular choice. so i doubt it will make a comeback.

TabulaRasa · 30-12-2008, 08:44

@Reflex: A comeback don't equal old rules.

1) If I can use a heavy weapons slot for a 3 Griffo's battery sounds good.And of course some rules modification.
2) Sound good especially if they can get attach to a HQ as a battery/squadron (3 plasma cannon as a support sound good, depending the cost)
3) I just want rapier laser destroyer and all the tank variants.

shabbadoo · 30-12-2008, 09:55

The Griffon was great, and undervalued. Str 6, AP 4 Ordinance blast, and has a heavy bolter in the hull for secondary fire should the mortar get taken out; plus 12 front armor. Way better than a Whirlwind in both weaponry and armor, and for 5 points cheaper to boot. I'd love to see it brought back, and see people actually use it.

singlewideslim · 30-12-2008, 10:43

I heard rumor somewhere that that a new valkrie kit could also potentialy make a vulture. If the plastics look anything like the forgeworld ones, it wouldnt be too hard to convert them anyway. I also have been hearing murmurings about the new guard codex haveing "Inquisitor" as an hq choice listed. Wonder if that could be the new unit. One thing we need baaaadly is new rough rider models,and I would expect to see that sometime next year,too.

Bregalad · 30-12-2008, 12:05

The Valkyrie (confirmed and seen) and Sentinel recut were already mentioned in another IG thread. Here the old Sentinel rumours from there:

The new unit mentioned there, taken from BolS:

Models
New Commissar Lord is available as a new HQ choice with dual models.

Barbarossa · 30-12-2008, 16:53

Then maybe I can finally use my VDR'ed Sentinels with Plasma Cannon/Multi Melta and Assault cannon!
And my two Griffons will be back in the codex? Here's to hoping!

The Highlander · 30-12-2008, 17:23

Griffons are the best value artillery tank in the game! Great damage, low cost and a minimum range that means you can hit almost anything on the table. They slaughter anything not in PA, and wound SM on a 2+. What's not to like?
