Some more Marine rumours:
Check them out:
Taken from Best_Pone on Warseer:
Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines.
- There will be 7 Ltd Ed varients. 6 of these will be covers for First
Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover.
- New weapon family: Grav weapons. I believe these wound against the
armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness
of 2).
- First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to
themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines
instead of Codex: Ultramarines. This will also show in a rule called
Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being
played.
- There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere
between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it
appears to go over the marine's power armour however.
- This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. The
devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers
mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with
heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. The assault version has a
bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault
drills mounted on the gauntlets.
- There are 2 new AA tanks. One tank veterans will already be familiar
with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The other tank mounts 2
tri-barreled turrets instead.
- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of
particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle.
- A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad.
- A new plastic Vanguard veteran squad.
- New plastic characters: a captain, a librarian and a chaplain.
Niiiiiiiice. More money to spend, tho, but I'm getting the new Sternguard as soon as they come up hehehehe.
