Afraid not. Hastings tends to just know what's in the pipeline it seems

Hastings talking about a possible starter with NuMarines. Heh.Imagine that we might just get a starter without SMs like many people wanted for years or even decades...because they're replaced by even more super duper everyone wants to BE us boyz in blue That'd be a pretty bad case of "careful what you wish for". Maybe it'll even have some updated models needed armies desperately needed for years. New Chaos Terminators that are made to look small next to, outgunned and outfought by NuMarines? Buggies that will be punched to death? Everyone could be humiliated by Roboute's new merry band of badasses, so the starter might STILL have loyalist Marines - that are not loyal ENOUGH to Mr. Primarch and need a spanking.

I guess after the Custodes and the huuuge SoS regular Ultramarine models felt inadequate to whoever decided they sorely needed their Primarch back and Cadia should be blown up.

Even if the picture is fake, it doesn't mean Hastings is wrong. All it means is that the picture simply isnt what Hastings was talking about

and the same way new true scale marines will be compatible with the existing range

the 100% compatibility we had a while back were adding a Space Wolves front plate to a Dark Angels back plate was no problem is gone
the actual Space Wolves frame already has parts that are not compatible with other boxes.

DW marines aren't compatible with other marines. The torso backs don't fit with other smaller front pieces, some arms are also longer making it look really bad if you give a tactical marine the Deathwatch shotgun, and certain heads don't fit on DW bodys because of the redesigned mark viii arnour

Deathwatch are fairly compatable with the sternguard kit. I actually had to trim the collar off the toga chest peice to get it to fit with the DW back. Otherwise not much size difference. Made a decent IF DW guy. And the Stern Guard legs work great with DW torsos.

Just a wondering, but...

If we assume it's likely that 8th edition will have something similar to AoS's rule set, even if just in part, are GW moving towards having armies, or at least models, that with minimal work could be used in both?

New, bigger marines sound like they could well be Stormcast size. The new steampunk dwarves look like they've been crafted to be easily turned into Squats, the Chaos and Ork stuff is already pretty interchangeable... A future where 40K players are encouraged / able to buy the latest AoS models and integrate them into their own armies without much fuss could be their thinking?

THIS made me check the warhammer community site. That s right, they can easily be squat models. I am not a fan but that is interesting it is something the fans beg from GW for a long time, as the genestealer cult as a matter of fact.

About the original post: DO NOT release real size Space Marines...

hopefully that photo with battery charge and blur has all of a fake

Hastings himself said the picture wasn't what he was talking about

genestealer cult, death watch, admech, Primarchs the last year or two has been pretty much a non-stop volly of "We herd you want X.... here's X!"

Yup. Get ready for Hrud, Squats, and non-Cadian guardsmen.

Sorry, are we meant to read this as a rumour?

At the moment, AoS is the better game (which doesn't mean that AoS is good, just that 40k is much worse) and doing it like Warmachine/Hordes would be the best that GW would have done for years.
But I don't think this will happen

like hell if aos is a better game than 40k ... like hell!

It's all subjective. I like the simplicity of AOS' ruleset. I don't think it's the better game, but 40k is a bloated mess and a bit of a pain in the arse to play, and the sheer number of books involved now is ridiculous.

Give it a try, you'd be surprised. Less bloated rules, tactical flexibility and depth, a lot more balanced faction to faction. Great community as well.

Looks like this one is all done for now then?
