Codex: Space Marines 2.0 speculation & discussion

...however the WS upgrade sprue includes two chainsword arms, it is possible a 3 man unit (popular with specialist primaris squds) would be able to have a sergeant with sergeant weapon and two with chainswords (where other chapters would only have default unit options).

 

FWIW, the sprue only contains one chainsword arm, the same as Space Wolves and Blood Angels. There are just two sprues in the upgrade kit, thus why it costs twice as much.

It's just gw congestion. They're trying to push a new specialist game, new skirmish expansion, soon to be new card game expansion, revamped lotr stuff and start going into the next campaign phase all during their space marine release. And that's just what we know is coming.

 

Ishagu is correct, but also extremely wrong at the same time. Death guard had to wait two months for the 1 model missing from their range. Everything else was crammed into their release month;

The death guard got 13 kits released in their month to the...5 of marines. This amount of dragging out is very new, they were at least fairly consistent with release months before.

Okay, since the Space Marine Codex is out, and we're waiting for the next set of supplements, I think we can close up the speculation part of this thread. I'm going to work through the thread and see if I can pull out some threads into their own topics. This will likely be a slow process, however, so if there are specific topics you want to discuss, feel free to start new ones and don't wait for me.
