c) "Nova-cannon" styled weapon
d) Giant close combat weapon

Warhammer 40k 7th Edition (Yes it is called 7th ed) in May. 

Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard): 
Stormtroopers (plastic) 
Bullgryns (old Ogryns) 
Commissar Squads 
New Larger Transport 

Stormtroopers, Commissar Squads, and Bullgryns are Astra Auxilary. These units may be taken as "plug-ins" to other Imperial armies. 

Catachans and Cadians are covered in the new codex. Catachans are not going to direct only. 

Orks are in June. 

Will tidy up post later but some massive bits in there!

More rumours on guard-

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.

I just hope they don't get much better overall, don't want my beastpack blown away in a turn or 2 without fortune... might have to invest in Coteaz to help sieze, was also thinking of going DE primary and going for Vect buff as well, 4+ with a re-roll to seize :p

Love ogryns, hope the new kits look good.

Would love to get some Ogryns and Stormtroopers, just hope they both get better rules.

Hope the Bullgryns shield are storm shield like, maybe a 4++. Big transport to get them across the field hopefully.

Looking forward to my Guard getting updated, though i expect some big changes to point costs (Vendettas going up for one).

Whether there is enough to get me to come away from Tau is another matter.

Yeah, Ogryns in some open topped transport would be cool

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Stormtroopers get made amazing lol as I have like masses of them sitting there in their case lol
