Re:New Marine units (Pictures)

GW can sure make a model, that's for sure. Those are pretty much all awesome. Especially the Scout guy. I've been waiting for a scout-centric character for ages (Namaan not withstanding). I may have to get that one. It'll be my first GW fig in... ... a while!

Kantor's probably the weakest. Man, those Crimson Fists just cannot get a break, can they?

VERY nice post. Thank you for the sneak peek.

I suspect that the techmarine machine is a thudd gun???

The techmarine and honkin' gun are AWESOME. The loader arms on his rig are really, really cool.

dienekes96 — GMT

Taking a hard look:

The best of those minis is the Scout Captain for certain. Great pose, clean design.

I like Kantor a lot as well.

The Assault Vets are decent, and the Rearguard Vets are OK. That is now FIFTEEN metal veterans the SM's have got since 2004. Geez, I love Power Armor, but...

Drop Pod, Redeemer and Scout Bikes look really good.

I like the Thunderfire Ok as well, but that TM looks a bit busy.

Sicarius has a great head and pose, but can't say I love the model.

Same for the old armor/helmet guy.

That's a lot of metal for the new release, but I'm not complaining. We are already loaded with plastic.

I bet its too much to hope that the (vet?) assault squad is all plastic. I've had several false starts with a BA army that I'd love to put those in. I like them overall, the Crimson Fist guy, the Scout Sergeant and the vets really appeal to me.

Seeing the new Land raider painted up makes me want to dust off my Sallies who havnt seen any action since 3rd ed. Speaking of which, has there been a Tu'Shan sighting yet?

I'm a bit disappointed. I don't know why Kantor has those... leather thingies going, they were much better as Ultra-only (being of Roman inspiration). I mean, his lower half isn't as good as the top half.

The Scout Sargeant looks excellent, as do the bikers. Sicarius looks a lot better, and while the Vet. Assault Marines look nice... I'd rather have a plastic kit that allowed for both types of veterans.

The most likely one I'll get will be the Mk. III Veterans. The Mk. II ones were great as Commanders, these new ones are perfect as... Vets?

I'll wait until someone assembles that Speeder so as to know it doesn't have the same problems as the current one

And NaZ, I don't think they're in the habit of making Hybrid kits much anymore, so they're probably one or the other. Perhaps plastic Jump packs, I guess, but that kind of thing is becoming rarer.

I quite like the Techmarine and his OOT maner. I like Kantor and the old armor guy as well. The drop pod is a welcome addition. The Land Raider is kind of meh. The other metals are not terribly impressive. The scout in particular just seems out of place... even as an officer - I think it is the swishy cape and the well trimmed beard.

Kantor looks great. That scout sergeant is the best of the bunch though. I think that may be a Brian Nelson piece, it has some hints of his design and sculpting skills in there.
The assault vets look really nice too, have to work those into my existing assault vets and upgrade my plastics by detailing a bit.

Kantor reminds me a bit of the GD 99 Captain. Partially it's the paintjob, but a lot of it is design.

It's like "Goldilocks" a bit. Some figures have too much bling, and some not enough. Kantor is just right. Nice pose as well. He's a very solid figure.

The Thudd Gun has been around since Rogue Trader. It's just one of a whole range of Imperial artillery that didn't make it past the 2nd edition Black Codex.

[quote=dienekes96]That is now FIFTEEN metal veterans the SM's have got since 2004. Geez, I love Power Armor, but...[/quote]

I actually think the idea of constantly revolving Vet models is a good one. Gives trainee sculptors something to practice on (or veteran sculptors something to do in their spare time), so long as they keep doing them in metal costs bugger-all to produce a mould which would have to be replaced sooner or later if they kept the same models anyway, and gives players a bit more variety.

I'd actually love to see them doing something similar on a more widespread level... every year or two release another set of Veterans, a set of Exarchs, a few Ork Nobs, a gaggle of Guard Officers, etc...

As for the pics... there's some lovely stuff in there. Love the Scout Captain (Although I can't help thinking he would have suited a shotgun more than that bolter), not so sure about the scout bikes... although at least these ones (assuming they're all plastic) should have riders that are the same size as regular scouts.

I love Kantor with the exception of his gun. I converted my own Grey Knights for the primary reason I disliked their gauntlet mounted Storm Bolters, and now here they've done gone and did it to a sweet Power Fist wielding guy I could have used as yet another "He's only a Sergeant?" Sergeant.

Vets are sweet. Most the whole squad has power weapons? That's not gona be cheap. And we know combis arn't going away since they've got one of those in there.

Land Raider is ok I guess. I'll probably have to get one or at least the upgrade sprue for those flamers.

Love that Techmarine. Too bad we're getting ours when they're no longer untargetable independent characters like the Orks have currently.

No use for the scouts. My marines don't field em. That capt does look nice though.

I wana see the Salamanders character...

Scottywan82 — GMT

Dude I LOVE the new cover. It's so brutal and to the point. It's everything I love about Space Marines. Guy is just blasting a hole in that dude and keeps walking. Like he's zombie hunting with a boltgun.

And I have to agree with most everyone here. Not a marine player myself, but this could certainly change my mind. No matter what I say about GW, they really do make great space marine miniatures.

According to BoLS the big ol' gun is a Thunderfire Cannon not the Conversion Beamer/Thudd Gun we were expecting.

my review

sicarius = 10/10 = its sergeant centurius all over again! we know his identity now! definatly getting two (one is going to be for a friend)

kantor = 5/10 = should have had head, not helmet, not recognizable with a CF captain

new land raider variant = 10/10 = burn heretic, burn! i love it

drop pod = 10/10 = plastic! but it sucks, cause it beats my $7 pvc ones...

scout bikers = 9/10 = wheelies here i come! only detract is the pistols/personal weapons

scout captain = 10/10 = i spy an inquisitorial henchman conversion, also cool

old armor marine = 10/10 = always awsome to have more older style armor, old is new!

land speeder = 5/10 = could have included a new variant, plus i have never put one together before, so the re-cut doesn't affect me.

assualt veterans = 10/10 = the middle one has been nailed down for an EC conversion. plus thier all awsome

rhino commander special character = 5/10 = who's gonna take a special character that will (possibly) die when his ride blows up?

new techmarine/ big A$$ gun = AWSOMESAUCE! big guns are cool, i love tech marines, and i hope it has rending.

rearguard vets = 10/10 = more vets are awsome, getting a (metric) TON of all three sets.

new codex cover = 1/10 = meh, it sucks, could be so much better, having a guy splitting an ork in half down the middle or something, so bleh, common.

I'm a little sad they are making an entirely new model for Captain Sicarius.

I had spent alot of time painting up the limited edition Sicarius model with the twin lightning claws and now it looks like there will be an entirely new ruleset for him in the sm codex to reflect the new model (powersword and something)

I will have to retire the model into something other now... *sigh*

Jayden63 — GMT

Not impressed, but not disappointed either. Models in Power armor just don't get me excited. I'm firmly in the Meh camp, take them or leave em.

New plastic drop pods will be sweet though, too bad it will take a new Space Wolves codex before I even think about collecting a marine army.

[quote=AgeOfEgos]Pics:[/quote]
You know, I've been looking at these, and they don't really grab me as that exciting or inspiring. Perhaps if the Veteran Assault Marines were plastic, I'd be excited. But these look metal, and a lot of the details are sculpted overly broadly.

Still, I wonder what the Conversion Beamer will look like...

[quote=dienekes96]I will say the cover is boring as goat balls.[/quote]
It would appear the 5th Edition Codex covers are going to visually focus on a single, iconic member of the army. Thus, the new SM Codex has a single SM standing as the focus point of the cover, whereas the 4th edition cover is much muddier - you can't see anything until you get up close and in good light. Visually, the 5th Edition cover is much more striking and visually clear from across the room.

From a design an composition standpoint, the 5th edition cover is unquestionably superior, in the same way that GW's move to show the actual models on the boxed sets is a genius stroke.

Re:New Marine units (Pictures)

Foda_Bett — GMT

Well I guess its a good thing I haven't built my veteran assault squad for the 8th Company of Ultramarines (blood angels). I'll deffinately be using those assault marines!

For those that haven't figured it out I'd imagine the guy in the rd helmet is the dismounted version of the guy in the rhino. He has the same chest piece and backpack.

I wonder what all those round things are on the far left landspeeder sprue? Could that be the new scout variant upgrade parts?

Well I know what I've got to start saving up for

It all looks nice to me. Hopefully only the Smurf characters have molded iconography. I hate filing metals.

The Scout Bikers are better than the old ones, but not as small as I was hoping. They still work as Rough Riders, though. I hope they are sold in pairs so I can get a 10 man squad without extras. A price like 2 for $20 would be sweet! I will never use them with marines, though.

The Redeemer is very nice. The Frag charges are angled forward just like the rumors said, and those are inferno cannons for lots of ranged fiery doom. Salamanders are definitely in my future. Too bad we don't have a picture of the Ironclad Siege Dread yet.

The old Scout is really cool, and his head would look great on a Wolf Lord

Does anyone know what that marine with the lobster helmet is? It looks like he has a Devastator missile launcher backpack on, but ino heavy weapon.

I have never built a speeder, and unfortunately I already have all the speeders I need for my Dark Angels from the Ravenwing boxes I bought. Maybe I will add one or two to my Salamanders to cover the Redeemer's fiery doom.

The Thunderfire gun is quite nice, and it looks like GW noticed all the people using Robogear treads for conversions If this is plastic I will get a second one just to add to my Orks. The treads would make a sweet buggy, and that big gun would look great either on a Battlewagon, or a Warboss' mega-armor

The bolter vets look like they are carrying storm bolters from the clip so they must represent the rumored special ammo they get in the new codex.

Chimera_Calvin — GMT

Zad Fnark - the guy under the scout is a techmarine.

The angle makes it impossible to tell but that's a servo arm over his right shoulder! - also, he's shown with a bare head and the servo arm taken off sticking out of the top hatch of the tank in the close ups.
I wonder if this means that he'll be included in the Crusader/Redeemer kit a bit like the commisar was in the baneblade kit? Worth a thought.

Overall the models are deeply shiny. I was thinking about doing eldar for my next army until I saw these bad boys, but now a scout force directing a drop pod/landspeeder assault has got fluffy goodness written all over it!

...then again so does Salamanders with Redeemer LR's, flamers galore and a few techmarines, hmmmmm..

Damn you GW! Stop making me spend money!!!!!!

I must agree with everyone that these are fantastic models.

If only they'd spend as much time on chaos legions as they did on these guys, i'd have a new Iron Warrior army. As it is i like a lot of these models for conversions.

With the new landraider coming with the different varients all in one box, why would a chaos player ever buy a chaos landraider? Buy the imperial one and magnetize the different sponsons and guns so that in apocalypse games you can use the new marine varients, thats what i am gonna do.

I really wish GW would spend more time on the chaos legions, all these good guy marines make me jealous.

Really like the scout Cpt.

Might buy him, do some work on him and make him a really cool looking SW scout guy.

I wonder, now... is the guy under the Scout Commander the Master of the Forges, without Conversion Beamer?

Whatever he is, it looks like he's using a calculator or something. I wonder if he'll help me in maths class.

The guy under the scout sergeant is the same tank commander as the one sticking out of the tank's hatch; he's just on foot and wearing a helmet. I've heard that if his tank is destroyed, he can bail-out and carry on on foot.

As far as Kantor's storm bolter, I can kinda see where they were going with this. One fist is the punchy fist, and one fist is the shooty fist. They should have painted the storm bolter red, IMO.

I have to agree on this one. For one thing, it's not fair to diss the innocent (when Jervis' Kid becomes a 40k designer, then he's fair game as far as I care). For another, it's tacky.

Ah the days when Leman Russ was just another guy on par with "Lord Macragge" (who couldn't be bothered to get up of the toilet to pose for the sculpt). And then there's "Captain" Dante way back when he was a strapping young buck in his brand new nipple armor. Yep, them were the days.

But in today's confusing game development battlefield, how do we know who's really innocent? Just because he isn't wearing a GW uniform doesn't mean he isn't an enemy combatant, err, game designer.

I was chatting with a good friend of mine who recently joined my local GW as the 'saturday boy', and apparently the Scout-armoured model is actually a special character, which is interesting. As is the tank commander guy!

I knew he was a Scout character, which is a great idea that should have been used years ago. The tank commander... how would he help a tank?

In fairness, they have had a scout character before - Dark Angel Veteran Sergeant Naaman.

First, I'm a huge mark for ancient warfare stuff. The helmet = gold.

But mainly, he's a space marine that [i]actually has character[/i]. I can accept if marines are the most popular army, but the figures are all so samey, even with the helmets off. This guy has (1) a hair style no one else in the 40K universe has, and (2) a giant, -eating grin that if I was a 9 ft. tall super-soldier in power armour, I'd sport into battle too. He looks like he has a personality that extends beyond shouting and pointing.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
