You can't expect everything to be produced in 1/12th scale...

It's not a regular Guardsman. Both the coloured and artist proof version are Veterans, hence they're both packing gear that you wouldn't see with the average grunt, like the Wehrmacht-inspired "Kettenhunde" gorget, and the lasrifle with bipod and long-range optic sight. Furthermore, the masked version is one of the poster boys for the various class options in the upcoming Darktide game:



*edit*

Also, McFarlane Toys' Instagram page just revealed a third, Gamestop-exclusive variant of the Traitor Guardsman, this one with "Splinter Cell" style NODs, a laspistol and some kind of makeshift sword.
