The guard deserves nothing but a good death

I legit think they should get a new vehicle to honor cadia. No clue what to call it but the first things that come to mind are.

>the will of cadia
>might of cadia
I dunno something like that

How about new infantry kits?

It's pretty well suited to their needs and can be produced in the millions, there's very few flaws if you take it in context

Guard tanks get named after important military figures - if there was a new armoured vehicle after all this time and it honoured Cadia, I'd guess it'd be called the Creed?
Not too terrible a name, though you'd probably have a lot of puns

>Cadia cadia cadia
Cadia is dead son.
Rambos are the new IG poster boys.

I would just make a Lemon Russ MK.II.

Give it a more realistic cannon and some suspension and you're golden.

>the "legacy of cadia" tank
>one-use-only transport vehicle
>troops enter, weak points then welded shut to increase overall armour value
>tank drives toward the enemy, then breaks in half allowing the infantry to exit

The IG are effectively a dead faction at this point. No way GW is going to put any focus back on them now that they have even more super-soldiers to concentrate on.

And, honestly, that's fine. The models have always been shit. The background was fun, but it's been getting worse and there isn't much hope of it getting better. The only good guard-related thing recently has been Regimental Standard. GW just needs to admit that it has no interest in ordinary humans and concentrate on space marines, slightly different space marines and fantasy space marines, possibly recycling some of the fun elements from the guard and the empire in order to give them a tiny bit of personality.

factions that need new vehicles more than IG

DE, CWE, Orks, CSM(regular), Tau(fuck battlesuits)
