I am very excited about this. However, my only worry is that everyone will start playing air cav storm troopers and traditional guard will almost disappear, which I would be sad to see.
Don't worry, I've got no intentions of buying a Valk. Chimera's all the way for me.

The cover reminds me of the Empire army book cover.

I'll just have two different guard armies like I do now.

Steel legion with Chimeras fully mechanised and Cadian Drop Troopers.

Little confused with the front cover, why no Aquillas on the helmet and the body armour?

What...? Wait... Oh Yeah. Where the hell are the aquillas? They look like 2nd Edition Cadians more like!

If I have money by the time these come out, might have to get myself a little Urban Catachan army. Urban camo, plenty of campaign style vehicles, field repairs, stowage, damage etc. And a few Valks maybe just coz...

Jase, I reckon it was too much effort for the artist, lol. Lazy creative types. . .

The Codex cover GW recently put up is just a mock-up using WIP art. See the earlier pic shown some days ago for the finshed art, but the mock-up for the colour composition.

I always love Guard art - no matter how many Guardsmen still have all their armour, and are screaming their loyalty to the imperium, theres always some badass whos had the sh*t kicked out of him, whos managed to lose his helmet, get his armour scratched, lose his lasgun and is resorting chibbing people like a rapscallion!

I like the fact that they are fighting FW chaos renegades. The art look really good.

Bram: its just a regimental/company banner, i doubt the geneva convention is still in effect in the 40k universe

What, you mean Chaos Marines will do more than ask for name, rank and number when they capture someone? My poor guardsmen................ :)

Ha! GW have fixed the cover shot they had up and replaced the mock up with the finished Codex art:

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?community=&catId=&categoryId=&pIndex=0&aId=14500025&start=1

Note the Games Workshop logo at bottom right which was absent in the WIP shot and denoted it as a mock-up.

Under the new Codex you can field it as an elite army so your troops can be shrunk so less painting!

Troop choice upgraded with Hellguns and Carapace, mmmm
