That arm looks too muscly for humans (unless it's a Catachan hero), so I'm saying Orks again. Orks will scavenge anything they can find, and I imagine a Blood Axe warboss wouldn't say no to some binoculars.

not just too muscly for heroes, but the human characters tend to wear clothes, or at the very least some sort of bracers unless it's catachan. And catachan doesn't seem too likely...

And then out of the blue it turns out to be the tactical genius of an unusually intelligent ogryn. :D
 
Surprisingly, not an Ork. The binocs are imperial no question about it, and the hand is too small to be orkish. Also, all Orks with hands that are not curled into fists and/or around weapons have modeled and painted nails/claws, even simple Boys.

So either Catachan or Primaris Scouts, with 90% chance for Catachan. With Cadia gone and GWs unwillingness to refresh troop kits, fleshing out Catachan makes sense. And it's only going to be a single model/unit anyways, so fleshing out may be not be the correct term, lol.

The one ogryn to figure out binoculars. Give him a promotion!

Isn't 90% of the guard supposed to (more or less) look like cadian guard? All they really need to do is say "they're recruited from here now, and do there training here" instead of "they train on cadia's moon"

That's more or less the case. Before the fall of Cadia, Cadians achieved such a state of renown that a significant number of non-Cadian Imperial Guard regiments would do their best to train and equip to Cadian standards. Even with Cadia gone, there's more than enough surviving Cadians in the Imperium that not only will their training and equipment standardization continue on elsewhere but there's also the likelihood of Cadian successor worlds settled by their own descendants.

Catachans on the other hand are practically proto-ogryns due to their death world of a home.

GSC could be an option as well, that arm looks almost deformed. Wouldn't really make sense to give them a new model after their big release in 2018 while other armies went without new models as part of the Psychic Awakening release cycle, but it's GW we are talking about, sooo...

And GSC are pretty pyshic heavy as far as lore goes. Isn't the next psychic book GSC vs Tau, we know Tau is getting a hero so maybe GSC will get one along with a duel army box?

Edit: pshhh 2018 it's 2020 now. *Cries in lizardmen*
