M@verik115 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Okay so I have finally gotten back into heresy (and as a result this forum. I missed you guys ). So I invested in the new plastics and I must say I am impressed. The rules are also epic and definitely what I missed. Now my biggest question is does anyone have any leads on Mk II marines? Because they are obviously the best... Also I kinda need to make a 2nd legion now as I have waaaay too many marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Nothing has been announced, and I wouldn't expect anything for a while seeing as we don't even know about MkVI Assault Marines yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhanist Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 The only hint they might do more is the mark ii Spartan tank commander, nothing from the rumour mill alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I don't think we'll see them for a while. They'll want everybody to buy up the new shiny MK6's before they pull the cover and, "Omg are those MKII?! I need them NOW!" kicks in. Revealing them too early would cost MK6 sales - and let's face it, most people are buying it for the improved proportions rather than liking MK6 over other marks. My guess is they'll be in another boxset a year from now, like how Burning of Prospero came out about a year after Betrayal at Calth. mooftak and Mike8404 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 My personal bet is that MKII will be a 3rd Edition thing. That won't be any time soon but it at least gives me time to wrap up my other armies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they start releasing the rumoured campaign books starting with istvaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle boxes "istvaan 5" "voidwar"etc with things like mk2 and breachers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ork Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 The latest rumor from Lord Valrak is that plastic MkII power armor has been finished for a while now, but with the HH release schedule leaked out through the end of the year, it would be 2023 at the earliest. The crew for the new tanks seem to be a nod toward MkII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike8404 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I foresee Mk V before II just because V fits the current setting better than II does. The Scorpion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 They already released new mk2.... As a gunner for vehicles In all seriousness, I don't think we got more than very early leak type info. Nothing more has really been mentioned yet. Heck, we're still waiting for predator stuff or even the supposed sicaran plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have shafted the "Heresy" pattern armor for far too long. First they tried to retcon it into a no-true-pattern mix of other marks, now they've made Corvus the most common armor canonically. But Mk5 will triumph. I feel it in my bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I just hope mk2 and mk6 come out before the next scale creep. Master Commander Ajax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 MkII will come at some point, given the effort put into the tank crewman. They didn't mould the torso as a one piece dedicated crewman, and the chest and back were separate, plus the details on the arms seems a like a lot of effort was put into the design for futureproofing. I could be wrong but i think GW know they'd be very popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest issue for MkV will be making the armour studs work in plastic. I expect the parts count will make some people upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
