New Space Marine Codex Rumor Roundup

[madlib]

New sprues are groovy.

But can't help feel the Space Woof one is a little redundant, seeing how much you can do with a couple of Grey Hunter Boxes, an Assault Squad and a Devastator Squad?

The Space Woof box feels slightly long in the tooth to me actually. I don't mind the new sprue.

You what? They're less than six years old.

[madlib]

6 years is a long time dude.

New Astartes Devastators & Codex Spotted:

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Wow. Grav Cannon Devastators. That is some a grade bullsh*t.

[Zaonite]

Grav cannon devastators... Yes please!

[Kirsten]

those look awesome

[Brother Sutek]

I better see these for my DA's! As for any other armies...guess everyone loves grav.

[Brakkart]

Aww nuts, I only just finished painting the two 10 man Dev Squads and both Assault Squads for my 3rd Company, guess I'll be doing the 5th Company of the Imperial Fists as well after all as these and the new Assault Marines both look really good. Ohh shut up wallet, quit your snivelling.

6 years is a long time dude.

Tau Crisis Suits are fourteen years old. Ork Warbuggies are at least eighteen. Don't even ask about Bretonnians. There is a giant laundry list of models that need replacing before a perfectly good kit that fits together well like the Space Wolf pack does.

Wow. Grav Cannon Devastators. That is some a grade bullsh*t.

Makes perfect sense to me, but what I can't figure out is why does it have an underslung grav-amp? It's exactly as powerful as those found on Centurions and Land Raiders, whereas the heavy bolters or lascannon lack the twin-linkedness when lugged around by power armour. And if you can undersling the grav-amp on the grav-cannon, why does the Centurion take up a whole weapon mount with it when they could be toting twin-linked grav-cannon with grav-amps?

I better see these for my DA's! As for any other armies...guess everyone loves grav.

With the Tactical Squad and Devastator Squad boxes full of grav and a new upgrade sprue that renders pointless any DA-specific boxes of same, I don't see how they can deny grav to DAs now. BAs already have it... I'm not willing to make any predictions about SW.
