New Space Marine Codex Rumor Roundup

[40kGamer]

I've been keeping my ear to the ground and the latest word on the street is that retailers were told to remove the Codex, Assault marines and Devs from their reorder lists. Looks like Codex Adeptus Astartes is inbound with some repackaged or hopefully updated kits. A part of me wishes they would just rip the bandaid off and fluff scale the whole marine line... although that action could melt the interwebz.

Oh new kits? Or just re-boxes.

I imagine that the new kits should includ grav weapons

[Houghten]

Flip a coin. Could be re-boxes with 32mm bases, could be new sprues with grav pistols (and mebbe grav-cannons for Devastators? I dunno, flip another coin)

I am really hoping for updated kits. Tacticals got a facelift last time around so it would make sense for these to get some new options. I wouldn't mind a new assembly for the jump packs either.

I wouldn't hold out much hope for the jump packs; the shiny new Vanguard Veteran ones go together the same way as the ancient Assault Squad ones.

I suppose that will be quite a simple one yeah the slightly more ornate armour

And a few pose tweaks.

More arm extensions would be really welcome. I get they are supposed to look like they are running, but they always seem so cramped up to me. Its hard to get a true dynamic pose out of the stock assault marine kit. The new arm design with the separate hands it's pretty sweet.

I'm not holding my breath tho... If they didn't update the assault sprues for the blood angels, I'm not convinced they'll do it here. I'm really really hoping tho!

Well they did rip the assault squads out of their rightful position in the BA codex, I guess GW didn't want people scrutinizing their BS to strongly
