I was thinking...the vanilla marine codex is a little stale. But it seems to have everything covered - elite infantry (termies), light/medium/heavy tanks (rhino/predator/land raider), elite shooting unit (sternguard), bikers, special charectors with army-wide effects... what is there to add to them?

What do dakka-ites who're more immersed in space marine fluff/gameplay think?

I think they should be able to get 2 special abilties/rules that all the other ones can get..

Sometihng like the Divergence Traits like you could get in the 4th Ed Codex.
