Heavy meta perhaps, with a fun looking chainsword slapped on the end of it for just in case he didn't obliterate you with the heat of the sun on your way in

An altar of some Chaos Lord, I don't think that's a nurgling, looks more like a goblin, does 40K even have goblins, as part of warraggagahahagah Orks?

Pictures two and three are a Striking Scorpion. The one after the Howling Banshee is indeed a Dire Avenger. I love some of the older Aspect models (particularly the old metal Dire Avenger Exarch). Some others, however, are awful. The Harlequins from around that time (Jes Goodwin and Juan Diaz, if I remember rightly) are amazing.

That White Scars one is definitely to sell the WS supplement, 2 captains to take 2 bike squads? What a load of ****
 
Scouts being able to take a Storm as a dedicated transport had to happen. It was such poor value, otherwise. Also nice to see Sternguard get a bit of a reduction in price, too. Not sure whether or not I'll bother with the Codex at launch though, as it will just prove to be a distraction when I have so many other things to finish. :p
 
It is rather the point though, space marines drill train and kill, it is all they do. Against poorly equipped armies, they should be steamrollering, they work in chapters of 1000 marines. Such a low number in the grand scheme, yet they get things done. Steamroller the little people, fight hard against the elite armies of the enemy.

yes and a squad of Space Marines (in fluff) can kill hundreds of orks but that has never been the case in the tabletop game.

Wonder if that rule allows them to re-roll overwatch fails?
