SOB have really been given the shaft along with Inquisition armies in general. I mean they're really nice allies to have or as a specfialist army but I think that they need to work more like an Eldar army in their specialisation with more troop types.
Things I want to see released non-codex wise:
- Warhound Titan
- Thunderhawk
In plastic of course! That Ork Stompla is very very lonely not having an Imperial Titan to go toe to toe with!
eldar titan.... would love to see this one in plastic. not to mention something for the `nids or even an imperial titan. i for myself would prefer chaos titans but don´t think this will happen in time.
The Eldar Titans would be a pretty tough sprue. Because they're so skinny and have all of the curved pieces. I mean the Forgeworld one is solid resin but think of what those pieces would like if the were hollow, plastic, and you had to put them together. It would be cool though.
Really, though, if they did a Warhound titan it wouldn't be much work to go from that to a Chaos titan.
So once they figure out the model, it's something big and apocalyptic for IG, Marines, Chaos, and Inquisition. It's probably one of their best choices as far as a "multi-purpose" model goes.
Unprecedented is one word for it I suppose. From a fluff point of view that would be two founding chapters and a second founding in the one book (so a bit mis-aligned).
I can't see the Templar codex being touched anytime soon (for any other reason than the...um...erratic planning GW seemingly does around their codexes. Given that the DA have a very recent (in relative terms) codex - I would wager that the Blood Angels would be the next logical SM 'dex to be done.
cant wait to look though the new nids codex
