IG Guide to Forge World Gear

This is a listing of all the current Imperial Guard hardware available thru Forge World. This list will also inform you in what edition of the FW Books the rules can be found. Since the first publishing of Vol 1 and 2, new codex(IG and Space Marines) have been released and FW has also revised both books in PDF Form. All current codex changes have been made to these books thru PDFs in order for FW gear to fall in line with current codex books for IAV1 and IAV2, see PDF links below. Some gear like army specific special gear is not listed here, as it is specialized to the Army List, and the information will be located there. Doctrines are now gone and converted to special rules to related Army List.

IMPERIAL ARMOR VS. IMPERIAL ARMOR VOL.

The following will attempt to describe and answer the difference between FWs first edition IA book versus todays IAV series. The original Imperial Armor book can still be found online for sale, and the book is now superseded by the IAV1 book and its following editions. In order to avoid the evil copywrite devil, I have simplified the major changes to the most important part of the entry, the game stats. Most have the option change noted, for two main reasons, but NOT limited to these reasons, first the mention of the now outdated escape hatch option, and the addition of a Heavy Stubber as a pintle-mounted weapon. While these two make up the majority of the options changes, some other changes are noted in the entries for more specialized vehicles. Fluff changes are not taken into account, cause they don't matter.

CM NOTES: As promised a comparison of IA vs IAV book. If anyone wants to add on to this list with further IG FW items your more then welcome to. I will make updates in the same manner as the current Doctrine article, just so the mods know. Enjoy! 

[Valhalla114]

I wonder was prompted this one...

[Chosen Man]

I wonder was prompted this one...

Well the first part I never promised, although once I looked over the material, I figured why not. It's been in the works for a few weeks now. I even had it up in the projects area for a while working out the info. Hope it helps! 

[Cpl. Lee]

cheers chosen man:

whens this getting uploaded to main page! this is SOO useful when considering what to buy - ie. what books you'll need etc! 

thanks again,

Lee

May your wish be granted. *slaps*

when is this getting uploaded to the front page .. ?

>.>

<.<

That information is on a need-to-know basis only.

In other words, we're working on it. That is to say, Goyder's not working on it. In the future please fire us a PM or something rather than double posting.

You can go straight to hell! Do not collect $200!

Yeah, I've been slack last month in uploading projects. Ill do an uploading session tommorow and get a whole bunch of IG projects up and ready to go.

And if I dont, may you all rise up in an uprising and kill pax. 

[TrooperJ]

What changed regarding the Destroyer Tank Hunter's weapon?

[Cpl. Lee]

fab stuff... good to know! 

[myles]

I don't know if this is the kind of stuff you mean to include, but the Warhound rules are different between IAV3 and IAU.

[Chosen Man]

Warhound:
That's FW being a pain in the behind. If you want my view, I'd go with what is in IAV3. IAU is always changing and even other gear conflicts with it. Still if you have one or the other use what you got. That's about the best way to look at FW gear, its always changing from one volume to the next.

Destroyer:
What changed? I noted on here what changed. As I stated earlier that is as specific as I'm going to get on this, due to copywrite. Sorry can't post stats on such things. Let's just say that anytime there is a weapons rules change, your going to need IAV for legal play. If I remember, it had to do with the range of the weapon and the type of blast temp it used.

You can go straight to hell! Do not collect $200!

We get paid for this? HEY! I want my $200!

[OrdoPugioVII]

Tell me about these Salamanders -- what do they look like?

Are they light / agile / small? Because then I'd fit them into my army if they looked cool.

[Chosen Man]

Update: Added Heavy Mortar and Centaur Tractor to the list, as with the Gorgon, the PDF is listed for everyone to enjoy.

Salamanders can be found on the FW site and you can also get a good look at their stats in the A/C Dex. Or you could PM the local expert Cap. Valhalla114.

[Chosen Man]

Update: Added Thudd Gun to the list, the PDF is listed for everyone to enjoy.

[wellard]

brill work, but why is this not a sticky post yet??

god the mods are lazzy here, wouldn't of happened if The Grim Stalker was still the boss here!!!!

lolls

[Chosen Man]

Update: Added LR Annihilator to the list, the PDF is listed for everyone to enjoy. Also added Centaur Assault Carrier variant to the list, but no special rules exist for it yet. I will post a PDF link to it, should FW issue a PDF with special rules for it in the future. Since the variant LR parts are only for looks and nothing has changed with the stats, I will not be listing DKoK Variants from Standard IG Variants. Although once IAV5 comes out and if the stats are in the book, I will note it on the chart for reference. CARRY ON! -CM

Edit
Disregard that, it seems Goyder is uncomforatble with anything more than 2 stickies.

[Goyder]

I've linked it into the main FAQ sticky, rather than have the stickies all cluttered up.

That way, this can just be updated as we get new shiny things and what not. Oh, and this'll be on the front page soon, I'm giving the projects a kick in the pants as we speak. You know, heavens forbid we have our own lives and such. 

[Sheepz]

Well, considering that Chaos have 4 stickies, Space Marines have 5 stickies, Necrons 7, Orks 5, Inquisition 5, Tau 5, Tyranids 6, Eldar 5, and Dark Eldar 7, I'd say you were being a bit paranoid. We're on a level with the Kroot board, so I figured that having it up a week or so wouldn't do no harm.

[Chosen Man]

Heh Heh Heh Sorry about that guys...in my comment I meant to say this could be a handy piece in the IG FAQ Megathread....this way I can keep updating it....and now I see it made it there! Thanks! 

[Chosen Man]

Update: IAV5 now has an offical name! YAY! So looking forward to its release
