Do we know if the jump packs in the vanguard vets kit will have seams still ? Sounds like the kit might be too expensive and blingy to use as ASM but I wonder if they will release them as bitz.

Two things: One, that first question is WAAAAY specific at this point. Two, it is highly unlikely that they will release one sprue from the kit as bits as they rarely do that ever, let alone nowadays.

Let me be the next to chime in and start worrying if the name "Cruddace" is under the authour... hopefully I'm wrong, but I wouldn't put any preorders down for the new models until I get the Codex in my hands... (please let Kelly write the next Space Wolves book GW... )

I think we can go with the trend in 6th edition that the books have over all been very good/an improvement and I don't see it stopping now.

Also this is their money maker book, if any book is going to get extra attention, it is going to be this one.

Also if it has half of the additional rules/fluff that are rumored it will be worth the extra 8 bucks(personally I have never had a problem with the price as much, I use the book for 5+ years, after buying text books per semester with a gakky trade in value I really dont have a problem)

I can't see Cruddace screwing up Marines; there's enough of a precedent set already that the worst any author could really do is make the new units kind of meh, or change the cost on something too much. There's an established price point from Dark Angels for stuff like Rhinos and Marines, so I think we'll be alright. The new models sound ace, make me wish I wasn't already so busy with my Dark Angels!

Didn't Cruddace write the new WoC book? It was fairly decent.

He wrote the Sister of Battle WD 'dex, though. We all know how that went.

I hope SM get special banners like DA did, as it would be another reason to use a different 'dex for my BA.

Rather well. SoB codex is better off than Tyranids.

Quite. He's guilty of some sins in the past, but my impression (and it isn't any more than that, I don't play any of his books, at least until this one) is he's been on an upward curve quality wise.

I doubt the writers simply ignore the Internet in the same way their employers seem to, if he cares about what he does he will no doubt be aware of the dominant opinion of his work and will make an effort to improve. Well, frankly, if he's any sort of professional he will be doing that regardless, anyone who takes their career seriously should always be striving to be better at it.

can I get a woff woff on that brothers (I actually dont mind cruddance, its just that kelly is so good)

anyway, there has been a lot of talk about what they get, but we have not heard anything about spell decks yet. do people believe all marines get the same or will they give different to different factions in the rulebook?

Didn't someone say 'Centurions' will be on... 60mm bases?!?

Can't wait for the pictures... it can't be long now!

As a BA codex user I'm really only concerned with the new kits and from the descriptions on the previous pages I'm cautiously excited by the kits, but I don't know that I'll want to buy them whole or just buy a few of the cool bits online, eg. older armour marks.

As I'm about to make an all Mk. 6 assault squad the prospect of different running legs in the Vanguard couldn't be more perfectly timed.

Any clue on the LotD?

I don'tthink you need to worry about it being Cruddace, the Sisters codex is actually pretty good despite what people think...

Quite excited to see the new kits, I'lll certainly b pickig up a plastic sternguard kit for my BAs

Well, for $30, the Librarian better come with a Jump Pack

Why are Black Templars being rolled into the Space Marine codex? They do not follow the Codex Astartes at all.

Yes you do now deal with it.





WHEN ARE THE PICTURES COMING!!!

I guess this confirms why there was no across the board price increase this year. It's going to be higher prices on new releases instead. Good for everyone not playing the latest release, but for a large portion of GW's customers where something from this release is part of their army, then we have a price increase.

Has either the UK or the Canadian prices been confirmed yet? Or the EU or Australian?

I'm glad the tac squad didn't go to 5 figures. The centurions sound neat but we'll have to wait to see what they look like. I hope the power armour is nearly completely covered and we don't have a dreadknight baby carrier look.

Someone hold me and tell me its gonna be ok, j..j..just hold me and tell me we are still the templars.

Space Wolves, Blood Angels and Dark Angels might as well be rolled into the Space Marine codex as well.

Reality disagrees.

Also tell me when BT pulls in 1/4 of the sales of any of those armies.

If you read the info on the previous page it says you're still retaining Crudsader Squads, Neophytes, Emperors Champion etc. What else do you need?

So, how badly are assault Termies gonna get nerfed? Just 5 extra points for the TH/SS like in the DA codex, or even more points this time?

I'd imagine +5 points for TH/SS, like Dark Angels and (if I recall correctly) Blood Angels.

Ugh... Looks at my empty wallet already.

Looks like the Centurion Devastators could be a day one buy for me. Though it'd be nice if we could get meltaguns for the assault version and use them as mini-Ironclads.

Sternguard kit sounds worth buying just for the conversion opportunity. Could probably make a few different characters out of it...

The 'counts as' possibilities with this codex seem very nice indeed!

I really hope Vulcan keeps his rules, I've always wanted to start a Salamander Army.

60mm bases?...... 60mm! that's a big ass base for a squad to have each?

That's like saying having your kneecaps shattered is better than being set on fire.

Bloodcrushers, plague flies (I believe) and beasts of Nurgle are on 60mm.
