I know a little bit about who they are but. Does anyone know if they are will be any good yet? What makes them so different from all the other Space Marines and do you think I should add them as a possible Third Army?

**Cheese Elemental**

They're Space Vikings, so they have more of an emphasis on close combat as well as a focus on heroes and glory, which is why they have four HQ slots. That's not to say they can't shoot though; Long Fangs have a 'split fire' rule which lets them shoot at multiple targets.

They're awesome and will kill your Tau, no questions asked.

Sadly their Codex leaves a lot to be desired, considering I just had to write 11 pages of FAQs for it

Is this their new 5th edition one?

**KingCracker**

THE SPEHZ VIKINKZ R COMINK!

i dont get it why people complain about lash of submission but theyre fine with this storm something spell that kills everything on an initiative test...damn imperial cowards!

**kuro_khan**

GW, and everyone else really, loves the Astartes. Anything that hurts them (Lash, Eldar as a whole, AP <4 weapons, rending) gets nerfed to settle their whines and complaints.

**the_emperors_renegade**

yeah tru man that's why i turned renegade... i dont like the fact that everyone goes for the Imperium...DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!!!!!11!

I was looking at them on the Games Workshop site. They look silly and cartoony.
