Imperial-guard-wal-horMore new rules rumors for the Imperial Guard 40k codex are here, and this time, it’s a lot of the more popular units’ points!

The rule rumors have been flowing for the upcoming Imperial Guard codex, but like with all rumors, take these with as much salt as you need. Especially because points have giant ramifications for the army, so don’t get too excited or disappointed until GW confirms them.
