2010 Early Release Schedule

Space Wolves will obviously cover themselves, and might fit the Iron Hands as well. Not totally sure, since I don't know as much about the Hands, but the Wolf Priest might make a decent Iron Father (although still missing the Techmarine part).

I have no idea about Iron Fathers, but we Wolves do have an Iron Priest - might be a little closer for you than a Wolf Priest. Iron Priests are basically our techmarines with a twist...and a thunderhammer. They fall under elites - but bare in mind all this is 3rd ed info, and our new 'dex is around the corner.

Is there any word on GW ever getting away from the big four (Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Angels, Dark Angels), and creating a codex for some of the other chapters. Maybe even some models for them too?
I know that with thousands of chapters out there they can't do them all, but at least the first 9 loyalist chapters would be a welcome addition.

For the Non-Space Marine players, it's really annoying to see so many marine varients getting updates before other races. Marines were the first ones to get a 5th Edition Codex, and now Space Wolves and Blood Angels are due out before some of the Codices that are almost a decade old.

I know Space Marines are GW's cash cow, but when Marines get a new generic codex, all of the chapters use it so it's like they just got an update too. I really hope to see all 40k races updated to 5th before they due any more "sub" races. I play Necrons, so any time a 5th edition codex comes out, it's like, great, theres another army I won't be able to beat, lol. I can barely beat Blood Angels right now, I'm sure I won't stand a chance after the update.

5th edition codices, by release year:
Eldar* = 2007
Chaos Space Marines = 2007
Orks = 2008
Daemons = 2008
Space Marines = 2008
Imperial Guard = 2009

*It's still unknown if the latest Eldar codex was made with 5th edition in mind.

[Zaklifean]

Didnt Dark Angels come after Eldar?

[The wolf's claw]

Yeah I think so eldar came out agesssss ago back with the medusa V campaign, long before 5th ed

I think MetalStorm4786 has a pretty valid argument. I would just love to see the xenos races get their updates before we see more marine chapters released (I guess there is still BA, DA and BT after the space wolves). Even though my fav army is Tyranids the one I want to see redone the most is Dark Eldar. I have always liked the idea behind the Dark Eldar. Its just a shame that they have the worst model range GW has ever produced (most of it is done by Gary Morely, sculpter of GW's worst figure ever...) Once they get their new range (I think its being done by Jes Goodwin) they would be right up there with Eldar and Tyranids for most popular Xenos army.
