First set of rumours-
Here comes the first batch of rumors for 6th edition Imperial Guard codex. Natfka (faeit212 blog author) has received these tidbits. They are supposedly from a playtest document.
september, 2nd
* Company Command is now the only, real HQ you can chose but you can swap the Commander for a Lord-Commissar.
* Primaris Psyker are now Advisors, Bodyguards are gone .
* Only Cadian named characters in this document.
* Salamander is in as transport for CCS/PCS, open-topped Chimera with Autocannon, transports 6.
* Engineeers are Elite now (but 1-3 per slot), can buff squads in the vicinity (think Force Field and such).
* Priests must join a squad and won’t take HQ slots.
* Veterans, "get some lose some".
Size 5-10, can take 1 heavy wepaon or 1 special weapon per 5 soldiers.
Bastogne is gone but every Veteran Sarge can give orders now.
Can still take shotguns and get option to take pistol & CCW. New Veteran ability allows charging out of transport.
* Special Weapon and Heavy Weapon Squads are now 10 men each.
* Vendetta is gone, instead Valkyries can take the Vendettas-loadout for +45 points.
* Only one entry for Sentinels, no armor upgrade, closed cabin has no game effect but is just cosmetical.
* Thunderer/Destroyer is in.
Thunderer is a cheap Demolisher with nothing but a hull-mounted Demolisher cannon.
Destroyer is a dedicated tank hunter with a laser-lance weapon. Have a, hull-down“ rule that makes them extremely hard to kill if in cover, seem to be area-control units.
* There was talk about a new Cadian Veteran plastic set, 5 miniatures with all options.
* Heavy Weapon Squad will be repacked to include one sprue of standard Cadian infantry.
* Special Weapon Squads might get their own box with a new special weapon sprue (which is also used for Veteran box).
