so i called forgeworld today to ask a few questions specifically about the mk3 iron armour and if there were any new squads coming out for them

essentially i was told they were mainly boarding marines in a heavier mk2 armour.

when i asked about lack of weapon options i was told there were new weapon packs on the way and to be patient.

Apparently a squad of tactical marines consisted of 20 marines with umbra / umbra ferrox / phobos bolters
and heavy weapons consisted of a squad of 10 with las cannons or heavy bolters.

it will be interesting to see what they bring out.

I called them as i was trying to figure out what arms i could use if trying to fit any of the current fw heavy / special weapons on offer as the arms are very different.

Glad i called now

this might be old news to some but i thought i would share
