well even if it is the nids first i dont mind as i have both orcs and nids haha

Ork codex is fairly old but it's still a pretty good codex. It just suffers from lack of internal balance. Same with Tyranids actually.

ltd edition codexs are $115 and are

1. Iron Hands
2. Imperial Fists
3. Ultramarines
4. Ravenguard
5. Salanders
6. White Scars
7. Second Founding Edition
Black Templar cover (with many chapter symbols vertically along right border)
Crimson Fists Dust Jacket.

Does that mean all those chapters are going to be covered by the main codex? Or would some of them get supplements on top?

Shamikebab · 9 Aug 2013 at 15:21

They will all be covered (they're all Codex Astartes chapters) but I think a few will definitely get supplements.

So, uh. How many friends will I lose if I bring a Wraithknight to the 500pt games?

Shamikebab · 9 Aug 2013 at 16:51

A lot, I specifically haven't

Pudney · 9 Aug 2013 at 17:01

Haha, you bring a Wraithknight and I'll fit in the biggest Seer council on bikes I can

I've just spent about an hour flicking through that Wiki and giggling my ass off. Brilliant!

I'm sensing a lot of hate for Matt Ward and the Ultramarines though, a lot seems to have changed since I dropped out of the hobby.

new tactical marine squad

and also apparently a new reloading pose, which i really like.

If that is the new squad then I do quite like the changes even though they are quite subtle, the veteran has different armour and there is a guy with mkIV (i think) on the left, which if included is a nice bit of variety which gives more of an impression that some SM have been fighting a long war. Overall i like it

probably won't like the price though :S

Gooner Leroy · 11 Aug 2013 at 23:25

Corvus armour, mark VI i think. With a new codex and new models coming out, I'm quite tempted to get a Raven Guard army. It would also mean that I won't have to paint 100+ models to have a playable army, unlike my orks

What weapon is the 3rd marine in the 2nd picture holding?

I also wish that all stock photos of Sm are not of ultramarines. Spice it up a bit please GW

ShadowMan · 11 Aug 2013 at 23:26

New weapons. They are gravity based apparently.

Come again?

Supposedly marines get a new weapon type depending on which rumours you listen to. Bit like a D weapon from Eldar etc.

We still have plastic sets from the mid-'90s. The Tactical Squad was refreshed once already and doesn't look dated at all. It's things like this that make me hate Space Marines sometimes. :mad:

While i agree with you 100%. Its these nerds that make them all the money. Its a sad thing for the hobby but probable a good decision for a business

shaank · 12 Aug 2013 at 11:01

quite like the look of the Tactical squad tbh. The vanguard marines not so much.

Von Smallhausen · 12 Aug 2013 at 11:18

Marine changing mag - liking that.
