Games Workshop will be beefing up the Imperial Guard with the upcoming release.
And it looks like this is just the kit so many of us who actually use Veterans or Stromtroopers could use.
I did have a tiny look behind the iron curtain of GWs privacy policies,
and I was able to see some mockups of the new veterans/stormtrooper
boxed set, and it would be an amazing kit to build warbands or
stormtrooper squads. Also I saw a model that appeared to be an
Inquisitor, and was wearing a long cloak and armor. I could see GW
allowing stormtroopers as a troop choice to induce additional sales of
the new kit, which, frankly, floored me. The details were great, with
kasrkin style armor, and all sorts of weapons including hellguns, sniper
rifles, special weapons, a cool missile launcher, a bunch of sergeant
options, bolters, and lots of shotguns that managed to not look like
scout shotguns. Also, the bolters did not look like marine shotuns, they
were a little more human sized. Some of the poses were also amazingly
dynamic. Some were stoic standing poses, while a couple were very John
Woo! There were also a lot of extra bits, poches, packs, grenades,
knives, some scanner like equipment, and what appeared to be night
vision goggles. If i were a puppy, I would've piddled on the rug, and
it was a supreme act of will not to grab the models and run for the
door. Apparently, they have also been ready for some time. Please dear
God, let these see the light of my hobby store soon and I will have at
least 5 boxes! This might even revitalize my Guard army.
Oh, and there were a bunch of heads! respirator heads, heads with berets, bald heads, heads with mohawks and crew cuts. Most were scarred, and one had an eyepatch, while another had a disfigured eye with what looked like claw marks, one head was smoking a stogie, and there were two heads with berets. There was even a knife that looked like a trench knife with raised knuckle dusters. There were scopes, a hand radio, and a bunch of bits for the bases including plants, a snake, and some ammo cans and satchel charges. There was even a hand holding an entrenching tool (shovel to you non-military types). There were a few holstered pistols, and as a delightful surprise, there were also autoguns in addition to lasguns, and there were bits for pistol and close combat weapon troops, although few were chainblades. There was a demo charge, melta bombs, and camo cloaks. I was very, very impressed. The attention to detail was phenomenal.

I agree, I want 20-30 of these guys.

I'll believe it when I see it. Same as with the mythical new greater daemons. Many of those things discussed are in the HQ boxed set, so it may just be a confusion.
If they update the artillery tanks to include the rest I would imagine that what we see is... more of the same and a 20% price hike.
