Reply To: Why isn't GW making New Astra Militarum

The Catachan sculpts are ancient, don’t get me wrong, I love them but barring the command box and the plastic heavy weapons (which are only slightly younger) the sculpts are twenty years old. Cadia may be dead but many regiments use the Cadian pattern armour so I can’t see the Cadians getting retired any time soon. There are opportunities for conversion with the new Necromunda boxes but in truth, if the Guard was to get a new codex I could quite easily imagine a focus shift away from infantry in favour of armoured formations with a small amount of mechanised infantry support. Infantry will still be there and existing Guard players will no doubt stand firm and continue to use infantry heavy armies but for new players being introduced to the faction? Tanks, tanks, tanks I reckon…

Plastic steel legion would be great but who knows, doubt we’ll see it.
