The Space Marine codex will pioneer another rumored format as well.

4. The new format will consist of a single page of rules and options (wargear), and special (optional) rules for each entry to suit your chapter specific needs. IE Tactical Marines = 1 pg, Scouts = 1 pg, Terminators (now generalised) = 1pg, etc etc.

Hobba hobba hee hee. GayWay ottaa Wargearit pois codexeista ja huomaa että ei ollut fixua ja antaa ne takaisin omille ihquraxupojilleen <3 Jes, go britannia.

Mitä sekoilet? Ei tuossa olla tuomassa sitä vanhanmallista Wargear-sivua takaisin, vaan laittamassa sekä erikoissäännöt että yksikön optiot (=wargear, eli se ei ole missään vaiheessa mihinkään kadonnutkaan) samalle sivulle. Huomasivat varmaan että ihmisistä on ärsyttävää koota armeijalistaa niin että yksikön erikoissääntöjen kuvaukset ovat eri sivulla kuin sen optiot, a'la Eldar&CSM codexit.

Hi guys,

We have heard these whispers on the wind regarding the upcoming Space Marine Codex and minis:

The "Big Gun" the techmarine can get is called a Thunderfire Cannon and it's aesthetically a throwback to the old Thudd gun. The model is very Adeptus Mechanicus looking. Huge tracks with a quad barreled gun. The techmarine operator is looking up with a controller in his hands. His servo harness has reversed arms with the flamer and plasma on top. The left servo arm holds a "quick reload" of four shells and a single shell is in the other.

An Ultramarine Tank commander special character is coming that appears in two versions. One for putting in your tank and one on foot. He has a bare head and a helmeted head that looks like a Mk3 helmet. Rules are unknown.

The Land Raider will now be one unified kit that makes the three variants. The sponsons have larger armor coverings for the Crusader's Hurricane bolters and the Redeemer's Inferno cannons. The Reedemer has two inferno cannons and twin-linked assault cannons. There are revised frag-assault launchers for Crusader and Redeemer; angled to be pointing forward, not the 45 degrees upwards like the current ones are. The Inferno cannons are modeled as huge, over sized heavy flamers, similar to an upscaled version of the Forgeworld siege dreadnought variant.

Power of the Machine Spirit rule allows Land Raiders to move 6" and fire all their guns.

Scout bikes are slightly smaller than the standard marine bikes but use the same tires. They have small front fenders that only cover the top and back of the tire. There is no trim on the handlebar canopy and the riders are like the plastic scouts. The scout bikes are covered in gear including a big shotgun holster mounted on the front forks.

The land speeder has been re-cut to make it easy to assemble without clamping. The sides are separate pieces and all the bits for variants are on the sprue now. It looks like you get some extra heads on the sprue as well.

Pedro Cantor has a powerfist and a stormbolter mouted like a greyknight on his other wrist. He's kinda leaping sidways firing the SB. There is a belt feed for the SB going to his backpack. He has a mk7 helmet.

There is an Ultramarine scout vet. sergeant who's bald with a beard, armed with a bolter and another Ultramarine special character captain who's an homage to the old Ultramarine captain model (with the transverse plume on his helmet and a gladius).

~Lots of interesting news here folks and that Thunderfire cannon may mesh with the rumors we've heard of techmarines or the Master of the Forge being able to take a set of arcane and powerful old school ranged weapons now. Its also great to see the "combo kits" with all varients included for both the Land Raider and Land Speeder. That makes collecting some the harder to find models easier, and gives my bits box more extra goodies for conversions. As usual, Caveat Emptor folks, this stuff if still slated for after summer.

O'Snobba kirjoitti:Eli tuleeko marsuista sitten super tuplajuusto-feta armeija, kun uusi kodex ilmestyy?

Mikke kirjoitti:Repäsen kyllä hanurini, jos tavalliset marinet alkaa saaha assault veteraaneja.

Rakath kirjoitti:Huokaus. Jos keräisin uusia marineita, olisi tuo Thunderfire techmarineineen pakkohankinta. Tosi kiva steampunk-vivahteinen jättipyssy.

Hmm.. Jos counts assisin tykkiä Rapierilla ja techmarinea Adeptus Mechanicuksella tai näillä kavereilla...

Warseer kirjoitti: Got some info for the Space Marine codex... well more from the 5th Ed rule book.
In the 5th Ed rule book there is a ref sheet for all race much like WFB. For the keen eye they should notice.
Techmarine has a 2+ save. He has a 3+ normal unless given Harness but even then that a upgread & will not be on a current Ref sheet.
Chaplain, BS & WS 4
Librarain WS 5, BS 4
Captain has 4+ Inv save... no supruse Iron Halo
Honour Guards have a 2+ save
Appaerntly Captain might be WS6 but that is not 100% yet.

Now things may or may not change from now to the codex it self. But it is in the 5th Ed rule book if anyone wish to check.
