So, 6th edition is coming and though no one wants it, no one needs it, though there are about 100 armies we'd rather see the simple fact is there's a ton of new marine models coming. They might be for the blue marines, or the black ones, or even the green ones, but they're coming.

So why dwell on the negative?

Let's embrace reality and start looking forward to cool new marine stuff!

My wish list:
Cool new super awesome flier that is not the Chibihawk! - we've seen the rumors, we can only hope this one looks better.

Plastic techmarine and servitors - well past time for this one, and it would be great for would be adeptus mech players.

Plastic vets - a kit of marines in 'historical' armor with bits for stearn guard and honor guard. I doubt they could get vanguard in as well since that would require jump packs.

Recut terminators - with both assault and normal options and some more extras, the current set is just lacking in options.

Plastic terminator commander - with chappy and Librarian options

New plastic commander - because the 4th edition is one is so boring. Maybe this time it can have 2 lightning claws even! Nah I'm dreaming now...

Any others?

Dreadknights for every marine!

Deepstriking everything!

MORE 3++!!!! MOAR FNP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A model of Ward piloting a Dreadknight!

With a huge pen instead of a sword!

And hes standing with each foot on a seperate boxy new flier!

That are carried by terminators with jump packs who have a stormsheild on each arm and lascannons for eyes!

And those are just the Ultramarines!

Codex wise: First founding chapters should have their own Codex's or Chapters in the Codex.

Model wise: I think Kid_Kyo sums it up... Maybe some cooler Scout boxes

Well in reality I'd like to see a few things in plastic.

Mega-Nobs

Flashgits

Veteran Guardsman

Broadsides

Vespid

Plague Bears (with nurglings included)

But the OP is talking about Space Marines so I agree on the Techmarines and servitors.

Veterans are a bit much as you can kitbash your own.

My secret wish for 2012 is a 25th anniversary versions of the 4 original plastic boxes from Rogue Trader.

Beakie Marines
Orks
Necromunda Spiders (aka bomber jacket IG)
and of course... Squats

I can almost see #1 and #3 happening.

Either updated versions or a rerelease of the old plastics unchanged or hey how about doing both!

This would be cool.

Death Guard Codex
Thousand Sons Codex
World Eaters Codex
Emperor's Children Codex

Or at least a rework of the CSM so that its not necessary to play Chaos Undivided.

A HQ kit (PA body, bits for chappy, libby, cappy)
A new flier that looks cool
Lots of support characters (like Telion or Arjac Rockfist) that replace the sgt. of different squad types and are from chapter history
Capt. Cortez for the Crim Fists as a character and a model revamp
Somesort of uber awesome ott mary sue so everyone can b**ch about our new codex too

Redone Chaos Codex an models has all my votes

HassTheEverliving wrote:Redone Chaos Codex an models has all my votes

This. Give me a decent Legions book and a few cool models or at least some FW goodies to go with it and that's all I'd really care about. Loyalists are, unfortunately, rather boring (much like the current CSM's)

I hope 6th ed nerfs all marine armies into the ground

On a more serious note, I hope the Black Templar sculpts are very crusade/knight-y, and that Ward doesn't write the codex

I would like to see more dynamic bikers. Perhaps give them ccw (boost the points or take away their pistols) just so there is some more modeling that can be done with bikers. Pistols just look and sound silly on them.
I also would like to see it made so that any HQ for SM that was on a bike could use bikers as a troop choice so that biker armies didn't have to use a captian. They could change it up for a Chaplin or a libby just for fun.
But that just cuz I am into bikers right now.
A new kind of predator would be cool too. Like a plasma predator. With three plasma cannons. That would be cool imo.
A light transport that can be charged out of. Like a rino thats open topped and only holds 10 power armored guys.
Possibly the ability to have 11 people in a rino for an extra point cost so that HQ's could accompany full squads in the rino's.
Special weapons available to 5 man combat squads; flamers, melta guns, plasma guns, exct.
Marines with heavy flamers. The guard cary heavy flamers why can't more marines? I never understood why i could't have one in a tatical squad.
Possibly some heavy hitting squad that cant be put in a trasport. An uber troop choice I guess. To reduce tank spam.
Thats all I can brain storm for now.

I no longer play marines, but am looking forward to a plastic techmarine and depending on how it goes the flier.

Adeptus Mechanicus Codex would be really neat too

Codex: Blood Ravens, Codex: Iron Warriors, and Codex: Titan Legions

For GW to reduce their prices by %50.

A Belial model would be nice. Seeing DA get redone (at least I hope it'll be this next edition) and become unique once again now that everyone seems to have taken near all of their tricks.

Get new deathwing models, something unique and nice, related to their old style. Likewise with ravenwing. Give the DA characters some nicer rules. (like EW for Azeral at least).

Rerelease Cypher and doomrider as plastic kits.

Readd in ork freebooters. They rocked.

Another plastic variant of imperial guard. Either Necromunda spiders (based on necromunda gangs) or attilians.

Update chaos. Lets not be silly though.

Give the templars some love as well, maybe some new squads.

I really want more options for modelling and choices in army lists.

I think it was the last Space Marine Codex where you adopt certain characteristics for your Chapter. I really think adding your touch to everything makes it.

I was gonna uncork my bottle of vitriol, but I'll settle for a "que?".

This would be so effing awesome!
Bringing out individual models & extra rules for each chapter would be epic as, I hope they do it soon.

Wouldn't actually mind seeing this modeled actually. Then a photoshopped version with all the special effects.

I think this might be the next golden demon winner.

But anyhow, I would like to see tyranic war vets back, they could use their grenades to wound MC's in Cc,
I do also want scouts to be a bit better, maybe take a page from space wolves and let them take a melta gun?
Possibly Plastic thunder wolves? (I wish)

I dont know if they need their own codex, but I'd like to see Raven Guard in focus.
Modelwise, Marines already has something for everything... maybe stop including or at least remodel those "beak" helmets that I never use.

The current Marine range is pretty set. I'd like to see updated bikes for sure.

Official Thunderwolf Cavalry models for the Space Wolves.

Some sort of werewolf model to use for Mark of the Wulfen.

I would like Dreadnoughts to be consolidated into a single unit entry with a normal Dreadnought as the base with all the options it currently has plus thosem below.

The Dreadnought can upgrade into an Ironclad with the Ironclad's current Wargear options for 30 points.

Any dreadnought, normal and IC, can upgrade to be Venerable for 60 points.

I would also like Librarian and Chaplain Dreadnoughts to be HQ choices, but if not a simple upgrade to a regular one is fine.


I forsee the Stormraven becomeing avaliable to everyone(Totally didn't see that one coming didja )

I want Chapter traits to come back.

let me get this straight, you like Raven Guard, but dislike their signiture suit of armor

Properly scaled Space Marines... at least semi-scale for cryin' out loud.

Once and for all get away from the cartoony miniature style.

I downloaded a CSM codex (i think off dakka?) and it has a number of special rules for whatever warband you choose, I can't find anything like this in my official codex but definately think that would be a good addition.

The spess mehrens already have a full range, id rather see some love for the xenos.

Better yet, merge some mahren codexes together. Dark Angels dont need a seperate codex, nor do blood angels. They are too much like nilla mahrens.

Bash grey knights over the head and steal the hereticus inquisitors and give them back to the sob.

Put more wolves into space wolves. Maybe they can drive wolf raiders, or shoot wolfguns.
