This guy has (1) a hair style no one else in the 40K universe has, and (2) a giant, -eating grin

It just clicked

Sicarius is Duke Nukem.

Does anybody see how to make a Scout Speeder from those sprues? I can't see it.

Suprised at the amount of moaning on the new dex cover.

Who cares?

Ultimately its the rules and figs that will sell the book. And not necessarily in that order. The cover rounds it off as a product yes - does it sell it, no.

Wow, that's weak. Kick any old people after they fell down lately?

Only the shorty towels are embarrasing. Either you've got Marines in mini-skirts, or guys at the bathhouse. Either way, it's shameful.

The DA bathrobes / sundresses are kinda lame, but they're trying to be monks...


Templar tabards? Cool.

No. Not from Hartford, Conn.

Wow...and I thought I was not going to touch SM ever again! Looks like it may be time to resurrect my Ultramarines!

I really dig the Scout character and I am dying for a spot to stick him in my IG army. The techmarine is awesome too, has a kinda aloof, eccentric engineer look to me. The cover of the new codex is awesome too. Not flashy, a nice change. Lots of character in that marine just striding forward, killing that CSM with one round. Really badass. Can't wait!

lol i made the exact same tank commander once on a land raider. damn you GW!

but other than that, i love the rest

-Develain

Woot, it looks like the Lion may get some new conscripts erm... recruits to its army!

(by that I mean I is stealin you nilla models! HA HA HA HA HA!!!)

That's okay. I stole some of your Deathwing models for my nilla army!

Cheese Elemental wrote:WTF at Sicarius' helmet... this is 40K, not Rome. Or Sparta. Loving the Techmarine and his BFG. Ok, I'm convinced, I'll get marines come 5th.

You obviously missed some of the previous rome inspired marine figs.

The Scout Captain would be a good in a pure Scout army as they would look out of place with a normal marine army, LOL.

I hope GW finally makes that possible.

I bet the Scout Captain works like the Changeling/Karanak from the Daemons Codex. Just an upgrade for a Scout unit, of the appropriate chapter.

Sounds reasonable, right along their line of no flexibility and options :( Very nice models tough.

Yeah i hope too, scouts are elites in the new codex and only a special character may change them to Troops.

Scouts have the scout land speeder transport! WOO!

YOU CAN IN APOCALYPSE !

well, you will be able to. I gather there's special formation sheets for both 1st and 10th marine companys in the forthcoming Apocalypse : reloaded.

No, no. Scouts are Troops, still, although they are becoming WS and BS 3. BA, DA and SW have Elites Scouts, but Vanilla Marines do not.

Eh, this is making me want to model up some Nam era US infantry using the catachan sprue and scouts rules. That landspeeder sure sounds like a helicopter to me!

I can hardly wait for the final part of the trilogy - Apocalypse Revolutions.

I know Pan Fo.

*falls off chair laughing*

Very nice ubermosher. Very nice.

BYE

cant wait!

What's with K(C)antor's helmet? It looks like a pot.
The rest of the figures are pretty good, though.

So it looks like the Drop Pod is designed to hold a full squad of ten unlike the FW pod which hold five. Anybody know details concerning this?

so are the sternguard vets gonna be plastic or metal? hope someone knows and says plastic then they would be perfect for converting goodness....

jabbakahut wrote:So it looks like the Drop Pod is designed to hold a full squad of ten unlike the FW pod which hold five. Anybody know details concerning this?

Given that 10 is the number they hold in the 3 and a half current Marine Codexes, it would be pretty pointless releasing a model that only holds five. The Forgeworld pods hold five because they have their own rules that pre-date the current codex rules.

The artwork on the codex cover is S T! I hope they change it for a more awe inspiring cover. As it is it makes me feel kinda drowsy

It doesn't have arm-waving or a bald guy shouting. I'd say it's pretty unique and inspired (as 40k covers go...).

That scout captain will make a nice carapace armoured Imperial Guard officer and those scout bikers carapace armoured rough riders.

George Spiggott wrote:That scout captain will make a nice carapace armoured Imperial Guard officer and those scout bikers carapace armoured rough riders.

I'll agree with that. The Scout Captain will be even more versatile if his cape is separate.

And as far as the SM Codex cover goes, it seems to be lacking a certain number of skulls. I only count one actual skull, one skull-face CSM helmet, and a possible very small skull on the shooting SM's helmet.

Thoughts:

The Scout Captain seems like pure aesome.

Kantor looks way too much like an Ultramarine. It might be because he's in all the Ultras midst here, but even his actual Crimson Fists don't make him seem like a Crimson fist. Must be the iconography.

And that Old helemt dude reminds me way too much of Trap-Jaw from the original (80s) Masters of the Universe cartoon.
