Catachans
« on: March 20, 2002, 08:52:21 AM »
Why are GW so stupid as to thinck that Catachans would make people play IG. Come one they suck, if they had just used the brains a little they had mede shock troops to start with (I heard that they would be realeased with the opcomming rerelease of the IG codex)

Well, I have no idea about the Catachans. But as for Cadian Shock Troops, that is just a rumour, albeit a widespread rumour

Plastic Cadians were mentioned as being "on the way" by the end of this year (2002) or early next, in the White Dwarf with the Death Korps, and Ork Hunter special rules.  It was in the letters section.  

Is it true?  I don't know.  It was irresponsible to print that they are coming in a GW publication if it is not true.  

I know that I am tired of hearing unsubstantiated rumors on the topic.  

I'll believe them when I see them.

tho i like catachans, cadians would of been much better for gw cuz they r a more universal army in that u can paint them any colour scheme and they'd still look cool, hence it'd suit everyone's style of play.

didn't sumone from gw say that in spring 2003 that there was goin to be a campaign similar to armageddon but in this abbadon was going to be leading a black crusade against the imperium and that cadians would be a major force in this? well if its true i'm guessin that by then the new plastic cadians will be out  ;D

oh and btw hi everyone and don't mind my name i'm not a nazi, its just german for storm trooper

cadians rule!

They made catachans because they were the #1 selling imperial guard army. From what I have heard Cadians are comming, but are  down the road a bit, and will be released with either the imperial guard codex re-release, or with the codex Eye of terror release.
This confusion is my illusion

My original idea was to talk about the question: why did GW make catachans instead of cadians

look man first of all

all IG have flak armour, so this discussion is ... useless...

but still think about it... they got muscles like crazy and they got clothes and all right? they are tough and big - they can handle it...

Okay, so if I get this right, Catachans look like they have a line cloth on ;) and show all their muscles, and the Cadians look like they are wearing a suit kinda? :)  Looks something like a police vest? :D
