New Codex SM supplements?

[Emurian]

I think a pretty straightforward solution is simply making 1 Core SM codex, and 1 Supplement codex that covers all the chapters.

I mean, as some stated above, right now you have supplements that already feel outdated or lacking compared to the ones coming out now.

GW should just push out 2 books imo and then move on. I get it from a business perspective but the other side of the coin is that people will actually buy other factions if your not forcing marines through every player their throath.

Now I have had a break from 5th till 8th, so I have a gap of knowledge, but what I remember strongly from 4th edition is that each time it felt like SM, faction X, SM chapter X, faction X etc etc.

Of course a larger amount of people will settle on the army that is constantly updated and expanded compared to some armies that have to be satisfied with 25 year old models and being known to get one codex every 6 years if your gdm Lucky. (I played Dark Eldar in 4th which had no 4th codex so I know the pain, in fact, if you where a Dark Eldar player back then then you where the bottom of the barrel, playing with horrible looking miniatures and a codex that only had 3 legit options really, warriors, wyches and raiders. I remember a burst of new DE players once they finnally revamped the models, sadly they tore apart the codex and actually managed to destroy the core of what made a Dark Eldar army good in 4th, bravo GW. . .)

How hard can it be to push out your SM dex at the start of the year, then halfway through you release the supplement compendium and move on to other stuff. We need xenos in 40k =/! There is nothing more frustrating for a Xeno player to see marines getting 3-5 batches of new releases whereas they should be content getting a single release at the launch of a new codex.
