With the rumors of 'Centurions' marines with extra armor and a lascannon in each hand I was reminded of some old (2008?) Goodwin art showing Dev marines with a heavy weapon in each hand. I definitely remember a dual assault cannon guy.

I don't think it was ever published and my google fu has not been able to find it. Any one else remember it?

Any leaked pics?

Pictures probably won't leak until the week before the new White Dwarf is released, so in about 3-4 weeks.

Edit: Natfka claims he has seen the new White Dwarf cover, and says they look similar to the concepts shown at Gamesday '04, but bulkier:

They are dressed in blue for those that care, with not rounded shoulder pads. It does not look like any heavy weapons mounted on them, but the shot is very fuzzy and hard to tell.

Also we have several old concept photos coming around that are very much similar to what I have seen on the cover. From what I have seen on the White Dwarf cover, the 'Dreadmarine" models are much bulkier than these concept sketches below, but the look is very similar.

These are the concept pics from 2004 Games Day.

These ones?

Wouldn't surprise me if they took some cues from those. Even though Marines aren't his baby anymore, he still has plenty of input in the designs of their units.

I still don't see why they couldn't just do a terminator heavy weapon squad. Seems a bit curious from an aesthetic and fluff perspective to go this route. Lord knows shooty terminators could use some love.

interesting concepts

Eldarain, your "google-fu" is impressive.

Indeed, you ARE powerful.

On that note, it seems these boys would pretty much rid the need for Devastators.

cheers!

If devastators become more reasonably priced, these new guys could be the more heavily armoured/elite guys with a bigger price tag. They could serve as adaptable anti-air, too, I guess.

If ever Devastators got new box set and completely new look I wish they could look like those.
