New Space Marine Codex Rumor Roundup

[Punch Kick Punch Kick]

I sure hope Astra Militarum recieve benefits for taking squadrons. Really seeks like Leman Russ One and Two finish a unit off and Leman Russ Three exists only for when one dies, which is pretty depressing.

The new space Marine Terminator Librarian that's coming in the next couple weeks at some point:



Looks rather good, I know I'll be grabbing one of these.

I think I'd go with the hand that looks like it's manifesting a power... maybe sculpt in some flames and paint them up to look "eldritch" or something. It's nice that it's not overdone, has plenty of detail without being over the top, and is generic enough for everyone.

Only reason I don't see myself getting one is I converted a Terminator Librarian a few years ago ago I like using personal conversions. Otherwise, this guy would be in my force casting Invisibility on a Knight.

Very nice Libby. I love the open hand!

And GW have found one more way to make their customers feel special. Same product same currency, 1 euro more for you, because the delivery vans use more fuel getting up the mountains.

That's not GWs doing, it's the same for a lot (all?) books.

That thing is...fairly awkward-looking. Definite CAD-face Syndrome, and it's got that old PPS model problem where the torso and legs can't seem to agree on a direction. Too bad they didn't just scrape the Sanguine-specific detailing off of the BA version; it's an excellent example of what this model could've been.

Why release another Terminator Librarian when we need Terminator Chaplains and Captains?

I'm wondering how much is a wonky sculpt, and how much is a dodgy camera angle?

[daboarder]

I doubt that people need to worry too much.

ravenwing and deathwing both just have too many unit options to be turned into restrictive formations. if they do become formations (that bit is entirely possible) they will be very open, like the khorne daemonkin one is.

so hypothetically, what if they aren't, what if they are hyper restrictive formations only with no way to take terminators or bikes as troops in the DA codex, do you think if that eventuality happens that DA players would have a right to be miffed?

Lets get these goal posts sorted now before we get any info

Maybe some, but definitely not the whole - the biggest problem with this miniature is the dramatically twirling cape vs. the completely static tabard. It's a pretty confused mini.
