Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hello fellow Brothers of the Blood, I was just wondering who here would be picking up the 6th edition Codex Space Marine as a band aid for an eventual Codex Blood Angels update? As all the new toys and possible flavor resemblance(what with "other" chapters being playable from C:SM, oftentimes the special rules for said chapters can resemble the BA) could push some of us to do that as we wait for a Codex BA update.

I am Legion Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think every person who plays 40k will pick up the new marine codex. Isn't that usually how it works? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraBlood Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I will be but because my son plays Ultramarines. I just hope we get access to some of those new units when we get our update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I won't be playing as Vanilla, but will no doubt pick it up due to the possibility of allies I'm thinking of (scoring bikes, captain in art armour). The only new toy I will consider is the AA tank as it looks damn cool and I need cheap AA, and you know it will look cool in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calnus Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'll either get it myself or borrow one of my friends, just for allies. Codex: BA is codex: BA after all, even if we decide to bring along some friends with bigger guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I definitely will, just to experience different playstyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomkapow Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The new mech suits and sky fire tank look cool. If they are good enough, I would pick it up for allies. That is, of course, assuming we don't get access to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I probably will buy the eldar codex before the new marine one. I don't know when it will happen but there's a good chance they'll be seperated by mere seconds..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I won't get it unless our codex gets FAQed to use units out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes, yes I will. I really enjoy my blood angels, but I came up on like 600+ marine models like 6 years ago so I have every flavor of marines to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm a fanatical blood angel player, but the marine Dex will offer a great allying list (to be painted in BA colours). Besides, how can anyone resist the new tanks!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadGreek Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Like "I Am Legion" above, I play Blood Angels, but plan to ally in Space Marines since I am a Hybrid BA/Minotaur army. So yes, I'll be getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chado23 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I will for sure read it ( I mean who won't ? ). If I really like it , I might play a couple of games to help out a friend starting his Black Templar army. Also, if the Raven Guard have nice rules I might try them out, but other than that I will stick with my Knights of Blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonaides Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'll be getting it. I can always use my lamenters as sm allies, and I'm making them a more shooty force anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyssis Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 One thing is certain: Those new centurions looks awesome! As well as that big cannon on the tank! I really hope that we will get some pleasure out of them new thingies as well!As for picking it up myself.. If i had the cash for it, i would deffinatly buy it, just to have it!

SnorriSnorrison Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 When the Stormraven came out, I wasn't one of those who'd call it names, yelled 'the ugliest GW model EVAHH!!!11' and who built their own, brick-like substitutes. I usually don't judge models until I have them in my hands. The centurions, however, look plain silly to me. Those mitten-like hands, underslung lascannons(!!) and heavy bolters and the bulky 'we put your power-armoured marines in more powerarmour' look are not only terrible, but seem to result in the attempt to force a new unit on 40 mm bases into the new sm codex. No, if that is the new way of the space marines in 6th edition, I'm very, very glad we have our own, 5th edition codex, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that these abominations never make it in our own. The Vanguard Vets look pretty cool, they'd make for some nice assault marine novitiates, judged by their 'bling'. ;) No, seriously, they do look good. Some BA bling and they'd be ace. I wonder what rules GW changed to make people buy the new kit? AA look interesting. Not very BA like, with their extra armour plates and those poles in the ground, so not too interesting after all. I've been doing fine with my Stormraven as AA, really. To answer the question of the OP: Nah. Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm praying sixth edition will be an era of shared non-unique units for space marines of all stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Angel Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am geting the new codex.... I am with Snorri those centurion thigs look like a combat variant of a telletubby. Did those tubbinators escape from a jenny craig camp? The Vanguard Vets .... one word sexy .... they just need a red lipstick paint job to complete the look. I think the rhino AA chasis will reduce the dominance of flyers a lot we can drop a lot of the required static AA defence line stuff soon, my bet is those guns have interceptor or skyfire. I will ally Codex SM VV to my lists, grab a SM Captain with a jump pack put him with my BA VV and some scouts. Sure they may turn up late and scatter 2 D6 but they are cheap enough to take now in a squad of ten. I see that Legion of the Damned are supposed to have some decent cover ignoring weapons too so there is another unit I have always liked. Too soon to say but I am optimistic enough and have decided to grab a land raider redeemer to replace one of my storm ravens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkMark Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 If you play in tournaments and such the Allies chart ripped up the Them&Us tradition a long time ago. So, with that in mind each new book is really just an expansion unless the matrix says otherwise. It boils down to playing FoC shenanigans and picking what's best for you. Apart from those things, the tacticals, Vets, Sternguard, and perhaps the AA tank are must-buys for me. They're going to look super sexy in red!

teblin Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I suppose I'm one of the few people that likes the Centurions. They remind me of the Lucky 7th Armoured exo-suits from Incursion. They look tough as minis, and fun to play. http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/space-marine-centurion-rules.html?showComment=1376165294504 Rules (if they turn out like this) do look interesting, and appealing to me. And yes, I'll be getting the Codex. The Eldar one was great, I love the 6th Ed layout and such, so I'm sure the new SM dex will turn out nice too. It's also nice to have some new Marine rules to play with after all this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
