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.

Aww man, plastic vets would be epic, but sadly I do not think that will happen bc of the finecast sets that are currently out.

Modelwise, Marines already has something for everything... maybe stop including or at least remodel those "beak" helmets that I never use.

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

Yep, might sound contradicting, but I like their story and style of warfare, but I do not like the current beaked helmet, thats why I want them to be remodeled.

For Chaos Marines to be redone, and a Renegades book released. There's already enough stuff for loyalists, they need to look into bolstering the armies that are supposed to be the big threat to the Imperium and Chaos just seems lacking currently.

A light transport that can be charged out of. Like a rino thats open topped and only holds 10 power armored guys.

Nerdgasm! Oh yes, I can just imagine all of my purifiers pouring out of these things, raining down Initiative 6 death on everything! They should be dedicated transports for 40 points each! I would love this but it would be so broken I can't see it happening.

Maybe they could just let you upgrade the Rhino drivers to 'advanced' drivers who can spin their Rhino round 180 degrees on the move and then the access ramp would be at the front and you could assault out?

We already had this in 3rd edition.

First turn assaults by Blood Angels was among one of the worst balance decisions GW ever made.

Landspeeder Storm to become Dedicated transport for Scouts.

Storm Ravens all around

Better bike mounted HQ models.

A spread of Special Characters from a larger variety of chapters.

Variety of marks of power armour be they in a mixed kit or several dedicated kits.

Dred HQ.

IMHO there aren't nearly enough dreadnought variants. There's only like what - 5? I don't think they even have a chaplain or techmarine dreadnought in plastic! This is a crime! Also there should be jump pack dreadnoughts. And sergeant, scout, beakie and land speeder pilot dreadnoughts. Especially the last one. There should be a kit with 2 dreadnoughts piloting a chibihawk with a scout dreadnought with a dreadshotgun on the drop hook thingy. And all these dreadnoughts should be able to combine into a gestalt dreadnought dreadtitan. And it should be piloted baby-carrier style by a dreadmaster (i.e. dreadnought chapter master) on the front. AND I'LL FORM THE HEAD!!! The Ultramarines dreadtitan should go into the Eye of Terror and defeat all the Chaos primarchs at the same time. This must all be released in plastic immediately.

A Jump Pack Dreadnought sounds like something a Mekboy would do with a salvaged Marine Dreadnought of any sort, after taking out the icky fleshy and bony bits inside and replacing them with a grot or something.

:: giggles :: There's a silly thought. A jump pack big enough for a dreadnought. The annoying part of my imagination is that if I tried to draw that, it would end up being terrible. My thoughts do not translate well through my hands.

I'll admit I have thought about how nice it would be to have Librarian dreadnoughts, but thinking more now, it wouldn't go well with the fluff of the custom army I play, where dreadnoughts are piloted by AI instead of near-dead heroes in stasis - mainly because the chapter's dreadnoughts were largely reclaimed from a Chaos base. It's hard to get psyker powers from an AI.

That said, a plastic Terminator Captain kit would be nice... Though, I wonder if there's a point to taking a Captain in Terminator armor, since he has a better invulnerable save by default via his Iron Halo, he can get the same armor save through Artificer Armor, and the only weapon option he gains through Terminator Armor is a chainfist, while losing out on being able to take a relic blade or any pistols, plus all the disadvantages of Terminator armor. I don't think you save any points with Terminator armor, either...

I'll sign up for this!

But seriously. In the next Codex: Space Marines. One word. Dreadguilliman. Look for it.

Ah, the dreaded "Spiritual Liege" Dreadnought Pattern, with Prefered Enemy: Black Templars.

An updated tactical marine kit. Crap is painfully out of date. All the new kits make this crap look sad. Low bit and special weapon count.

Make things actually cost less money for marines.

Give us more Marks of Armor.

Let marines be elite, let them stop following some of these stupid rules meant for the untrained hordes, like shooting everything at one unit, let them individually target..things like that. Let devastator squads take special weapons instead of heavy. For gos sake can i get a ccw? What soldier doesn't carry a knife?

Can't tell if serious...


Give the Mahreens something large and gargantuan and rules ridiculous so that when my Broadsides blow it up in one shot they'll still say Broadsides are overpowered.

Marines are supposed to be elite and flexible in both abilities and tactics. The fact that they all have to shoot at the same thing is silly.""Shoot that unit guardsmen, yes you too lascannon, I don't care if tere is a leman russ behind them" SW devs can do it. All marines should be able to do it. Tactically they are not even as good as guard, as guard can give those special orders. Space Marines should be able to use all those tactics and more.

Or were you referring to the ccw that tac marines don't get?

Large and gargantuan does not fit marines fluff anymore so no apoc vehicles. A dedicated support, strike fighter would be great.
