Codex: Space Marines | Multi-Part Intercessor & Vanguard Vet Teaser | Legends Culling

[Astartes Consul]

Uriel Ventris character mogged by the Chad Captain Titus. RIP.

 

On a more serious note, seeing GW officially embrace proxies like this is something I never thought I’d see. 

[MoriyaSchism]

"Counts as Desolation Squad"

Comical. Reminds me of the 10th edition proxy guide for Forge World characters and units. That one was so bad that they scrubbed it after 6 months from their site. 

[Lathe Biosas]

No more Centurions? What will Ravenguard players bounce on and off the table now?

I'm honestly confused about the Legenderizing of the Space Marine Aircraft. The new Ork Codex has a Detachment for Aircraft. It seems strange to me to promote one factions planes, while removing another's.

[Alby the Slayer]

is the art on the cover new?

[Robbienw]

Could be new ones coming.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Tentative yes before anyone corrects me

The only possible answer is that the Astartes are getting new fliers.

Plastic Thunderhawk confirmed?! 

(I can hope...)

Awful poses on the multi-part vanguard veterans. 

Sadly to be expected these days.  They’ve really lost it with marine posing in 40k

I knew in my heart(s) that this day would come eventually… but God Emperor, all of them at once?! :’(

 

also: Legends-ing Kantor is abominable.

I understand why Kantor got the boot. You haven't been able to buy him for a very long time.

Is that really it for the multi-part Intercessors? Just the same old and a bit of lame fanservice with the back banner. I thought they were taking this variety thing seriously.

[Dark Shepherd]

marines are no longer a horde army, wild if true :)

 

am shocked the mario kart isnt legendsed, makes sense though with new captain

Quote

Each warrior will be better, stronger, and faster, making them feel like the superhuman soldiers they are supposed to be. This will also mean an increase in points values, so armies will be smaller, playing like the elite strike forces from the lore.

 

I bet Deathwing Terminator armies are going to very tiny.

Agreed, bit disappointing at first glance. A step backwards in terms of variety. I hope there are more bits on the sprue.

 

I like the bling on the Bike Captain, but I'm worried that eagle head of the front wheel is going to block los for the twin bolters - reserving judgement for better angles...

I'm baffled that the Orks kept their planes but the Marines have lost theirs. Curious how this pattern plays out across the edition, as its obvious GW doesnt want to purge all aircraft.

[MoriyaSchism]

What's going to happen with the Grey Knights if the Stormtalon, Stormhawk, Stormraven and Razorback are getting this treatment? Is their army list going to beat Emperor's Children at being laughably tiny? Not counting the HQ options and command squad. It will have Paladins, Terminators, Interceptors, Strike Squad, Purgation Squad, Rhino and Land Raider. 

[Marshal Reinhard]

Don't we have rumors of new upcoming grey knight?

Flying baby carriers?

[Ahzek451]

Curious about chaos. Unless GW has updated models waiting in the wings(not holding my breath), I would be (a little) surprised if GW removed the rhino, predator, vindicator. This takes large chunks out of the already small army lists. Maybe in time, but perhaps these units are safe for now in the chaos legions. I see multiple people asking in the facebook post and GW has given there boiler plate "There are not plans right now..". "We have not heard anything right now"..

Yes. The rumor mill says they will be getting new models in 9th 10th 11th edition.

It might be a move to make the armies more different. Chaos keeps the old tech while the Loyalist get the new stuff. 

 

Also the Rhino is missing from the Legends list which is interesting. 

[MoriyaSchism]

I guess that's it for old Codex compliant Space Marines. Perhaps they can find new life as Red Corsairs in the new edition if Chaos gets to keep all their Rhino chassis toys. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I guess a "Death to the false Emperor (GW)" is in order.

Heretic Astartes and Codex-divergent Chapters will get similar boosts to bring them in line with these new rules, so everyone can enjoy Toughness 6 Terminators firing Strength 5 storm bolters. These will automatically update in Warhammer 40,000: The App when Codex: Space Marines launches in October.

Glad they aren't going to let CSM languish for months like they did the last time when they gave all Space Marines 2 wounds and forgot to give them to Chaos until their codex released.

[SpecialIssue]

Interesting how they've gotten rid of Suppressors as well - while I welcome it (they look far too over-designed and visually unbalanced to me) I'me surprised GW would walk back on a unit so (relatively) quickly.
