Subject: New Codex SM and Chapter Splat Books Coming! (Core and UM/WS splat book FAQs are out)
Guerrilla Miniature Games reviews all three books (core codex, White Scars, Ultramarines). All secrets revealed!
Spoiler:
edit: White Scars specific preview with new info on doctrines, strategems, wargear, etc.
Spoiler:
The Assault Doctrine already improves the Armour Penetration of Pistols and melee weapons by 1, and when it’s combined with this +1 Damage, you’ll absolutely annihilate even the most durable enemy units.
Khaaaaaaaaaan!
edit: Ultramarine specific preview with new info on doctrines, strategems, characters, units, wargear, etc.
edit: By your command! New incursor unit that denies enemy cover and gets no penalties on ranged shooting while dual wielding like a D&D ranger!
Spoiler:
Impulsor Transport: Flying razorback with a baby void shield! Truly Cawl is blessed by the Machine God!
Alien Power-LoaderInvictor Tactical Warsuit: The most wild west rootinest, tootinest, shootinest redemptor dreadnought 41k will ever see!
You feelin' lucky, you xenos punk? Well, are ya!?!
Infiltrator Squad
Eliminator Squad
Other codex chapters like SW, DA, BA Chapters will also have access to the new units from Codex: Space Marines as follows:
Captain in Phobos Armour
Librarian in Phobos Armour
Lieutenant in Phobos Armour
Eliminator Squad
Incursor Squad
Infiltrator Squad
Suppressor Squad
Invictor Tactical Warsuit
Impulsor
Primaris Repulsor Executioner
The full datasheets and matched play points values for each of these units will soon be available as a free PDF download for each of these Chapters, along with the rules for the Shock Assault ability.
Angels of Death: Combat Doctrines
Combat Doctrines represent the structured way in which adherents of the Codex Astartes overcome any adversary. Veterans of previous editions may remember that the Ultramarines had a form of this ability a number of years back. Now, it doesn’t just apply to them, but to all of the Chapters (and any succes[img]sor Chapters you’ve created) that use the rules from Codex: Space Marines. Here’s how it works…
Only primaris shown in the animated trailer but no idea if it'll be Adeptus Restartes only.
Edit: From the new warhammer community page apoc entry... More primarisized characters (Tigurius and Khan) previewed below. Full plastic kit versions of the primariscouts along with a Restartes GravRhino.
edit: From the pre-order page. Mega collectors edition codex and White Scars and Ultramarines subcodex books along with widgets (dice, cards, upgrade packs with decals, etc).
If it's the Primaris Marines only, it'll be a small book.

Considering how beefy the current codex is compared with others, I think it'll be fine once they add in the stuff already released for Primaris since the last codex plus what has been hinted at plus what they haven't even mentioned in all likelihood. YMMV.

The Dreadnaught is actually a suit meant to go along with the light armor marines, figured it might.
A White Scars Character? Thats new.

I love that light dread - it so very 80s after the Aliens film - dar it someone will HAVE to convert it fighting a massive Tervigon or Hive Tyrant in close combat!
Also that big physchic awakening - Endless Spell models for 40K
Giving all Space Marines (Loyalist and Chaos alike) plus one attack on a turn they charge, get charged, or intervene is surprising. Nice to see them actually trying to make Marines better at close combat. Khorne Berzerkers get even nuttier if you can ever actually deliver them to the enemy to do their thing.

Near the end of the SM codex stuff, they talk about creating custom successor chapters with custom abilities from the lists contained. Sounds neat, wonder if it will be for MP or only Open/Narrative.

It’s a primaris’d version of the existing White Scars character.
I mean, I've heard the name and seen him before, but hes gotten a brand new model as a Primaris. It's new to me to see White Scars love I guess.

So squatting of Khan on his bike all but confirmed.
We really didn't need individual codices for each frickin Chapter, and this is bloat going in the same exact direction as 7th. However, with that said, a Chapter creator + better handling of Successors is most welcome to me.

Great stuff overall! Custom chapter traits has been wanted since 4th ed, and it looks like this book structure will be a better way to organize chapter books than each having a full codex.
Shock Assault may get SM melee back out there, but I doubt it'll be enough as they still have massive defensive efficiency problems. But it looks like the chapter traits are getting overhauled by this new system. If there's anything defensive in there, it could do the job. Interested to see if Dreadnoughts will get it.
I'm not crazy about the new walker suit because it seems like its either gonna Usurp the role of dreadnoughts or landspeeders, depending on how its statted. But I'm open to the idea.
Always 1 on the crazed roll.

Last thing we need is Endless Spells for 40K... but I called it ages ago that they’d scrape that particular barrel. Money money money...

Also a new event the "psychic awakening" is coming. What do you guys think it might be ?
all humans develop a degree of psychic powers, cue lots and lots of demonic incursions across the imperium with the normal control methods (killing/black ship removals etc) no longer viable
all space marines get smite

Thanks for the link. I checked out the page before starting the thread as the video referenced warcom generically at the end but didn't see it. Not sure about the campaign but I'm a bit surprised to see a full on return to 3rd edition's core plus splat style codex releases for marines.

Notice how the (bound to be broken) 'pick your own' Chapter Tactics says pick 2? Looks like the SMCTs might be getting a lot better. Which is good seeing as it's supposed to be the SM thing in the first place.

With the stuff that has been announced so far, I'm rather pumped for all of the Primaris Vanguard units. Only question is do I want to paint them up as a Space Wolves Scout Pack or as a Raven Guard drop force...

Probably primarisized old character as the other pic is even labeled in the file name as Tigurius. My guess is Kor'sorro Khan but I don't recall if he came with a bird as wargear in old editions let alone the current one.
edit: Yup, it's confirmed to be Kor'sorro Khan in the text.

I guess DAs/BAs/SWs will become supplements like in 3rd edition. That's fine as long as we don't get the situation from 4th where SW still only had that 3rd ed. Supplement and didn't get the goodies from the new SM dex.
