After seeing all the Imperium symbols on the Black Library advent calender, I thought just maybe, that there would be a dataslate for Marbo. But, no. Guess GW is really just a grinch this year.

**techsoldaten**

This is completely unacceptable. We all know the reason they moved Marbo to a dataslate is to make more money, and now the dataslate is waiting for a release slot so GW's revenue is not increased above certain margins.

Dataslates need to go.

**EVIL INC**

I agree. Just put ALL of the rules, dataslates whatever for an army in a codex. if they come up with additions or extras, I feel they can shelf it till the time comes around to redo/update the codex and add it in then so we dont have loads of extra crap.
Would also make each upcoming codex have new stuff instead of just being a reprint.

**martin74**

Let me make myself clear. I have yet to ever pruchase a dataslate or any other rules outside of codex. I just was hoping against apparent hope that there would be a Marbo dataslate.

**Chute82**

Milk you for more money from content that should have been included in the codex to begin. No thx

Marbo wasn't 'moved to a dataslate. He was removed from the codex because he was a little embarrassing in light of GW Legal's claim in court (during the Chapterhouse case) that all of their creations are 100% born from their designers' heads and not in any way influenced by other material.

**Sir Arun**

Yeah. I'm pretty sure Marbo will never be making a comeback; the days of 80s style cooless and Sly Stallone artwork in a GW dex are looong over.

**Blacksails**

Shame.

Not that I'd ever willingly pay for content that should have been included in the already costly codices.

**Guardsmen Bob**

He's not dead, he's just up there fixing(closing) the Eye of Terror...

Maybe they'll give his fluff an overhaul, name change, and a new model. He won't be the Marbo we all knew and loved...but it will be him.

**Wyzilla**

It's Marbo. He's so good at infiltrating he's gone meta and is hiding from GW.

Speculation or is there something to this?
