GW just revealed another Imperial Guard miniature, this time in the form of a new Cadian Castellan commander!
After a big weekend of reveals, Games Workshop isn’t done with Cadians yet! This is the newest miniature revealed for the Imperial Guard, but they also promise we’ll see something new each week for the entire month, meaning we have a lot more to go.

New Imperial Guard Cadian Castellan Joining the Fight!
Unlike regular Command Squads, Castellans don’t go into battle accompanied by a retinue. They move among their troops, issuing orders and directing fire wherever it’s needed, all while extending re-rolls to every CORE unit in range.
Giving re-rolls for every core unit, and being able to move through units is pretty cool.
Astra Militarum officers can all boost the effectiveness of their Guardsmen with orders, but the Castellan can issue two per turn. Orders are a vital aspect of the war machine, encouraging units to hit harder, pin down foes, and surge across the battlefield in mass human waves.
We’re assuming the orders will work somewhat like the old ones, but obviously, there will be some big changes. Being able to give two orders is going to be pretty key to getting your army working well.
This incredible new model is tremendously versatile, and comes with plenty of weapon options and four separate heads which you can use to make it truly your own. It can be used with any Astra Militarum army, Cadian or otherwise – even the Death Korps of Krieg and the Catachan Jungle Fighters need battlefield command.
As you can see, there are a few different options, and with four different heads and some weapon options, you should be able to use it for whatever sub-faction you like. So, while the focus is on Cadians, don’t worry if you play something else, as they can also be used for that!
