1) The Marines are going to be rock hard (as they should be), expensive (so, fewer in number) and, hopefully, hard to kill.
2) You'll actually be able to represent the human operatives/cells/etc. due to the fact that Guard type troops and tanks will be in the Codex! Ever since the "cultist' option went the way of the Dodo, there hasn't been a way to do this...
As for the other bit, we have NO IDEA what exactly the Legion is up to. My opinion is that they are going to try and do for the Cabal as they're going to try to do for Horus/Chaos - but that in the end they're a bit too clever by half.
that sounds like an awesome army concept and you should totally do that. Even a powered armour =][= could be a counts as A Legion and have a retinue of freaks with him, could be a lot of potential there for modelling fluff etc
I have been getting the Legio Custodes itch lately and I think they would be an awesome way to do that as well.
Basically I think this codex sounds like a marine dex for people who like to model and try weird/different themes. Whether or not it can hang with the like of IG SW etc we have to see.
Exactly!
The Daemonhunters Codex was a goldmine for this sort of thing, so I'm hoping the new GK Codex will be too...

Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

Updated original again....it appears GK may be pushed back. From StickMonkey on Seer;
My sources are saying GK may be much later this year. Sources say that because the DE release was so successful, that's why we are seeing a shuffling to get more DE models out sooner. More a financial decision than production from what I'm hearing. Hope it's not true.

If this is true I will be a sad little monkey I was really starting to salivate for that new army and plastic glue smell...
They should try a rapid fire release and see how that works for them, 2 big releases back to back maybe they could give it a try. Maybe they'd do that.... ya' know maybe...

Maybe one should reshuffle the bean counters too...
Seriously, no 2nd, 3rd or 10th wave gets those interested in GK to buy darkspaceelves.
I'd prefer at least 3 codices per year done and pushing GK back and a possible 'flyers' expansion really stretches the life cycle of a 40k edition to its limits.

Ahh, so if this is true, we get even fewer Codices in an even longer amount of time? Great.

For every person complaining about the supposed slow release of new GW game books there's another who will complain about having to buy a new book when it is released because they don't wish to spend the money on the book or revising their army(ies). GW is in a no-win situation all the time with it's own customers. Remember, it's a business and they have to do what they think will stay profitable. Check out this other thread about their latest statement on that issue. I'm looking forward to new GK, but since I haven't started painting the GK models I've already got or a ton of other projects, I'm in no hurry. When it gets here, it gets here. Rush jobs are never good and usually cause much moaning from the fan base, so be glad they have taken their time with it.

Oh yeah, I completely agree with this, doesn't change that they still take even longer to release a Codex and I'd say that the majority of players don't like it. But similar to what you said, the customers will always complain no matter what they do...
