Codex Space Marine rumors brought to the community by Warseer’s: brothercaptains
Hi guys,
After two days of Macharian Crusade its back to it. I have a set of accumulated items here so lets dive right in.

Codex Space Marine Latest (Rumors)
-Apothecaries grant Feel No Pain to their squad and any attached IC
-Storm Shields again cited as granting 3+ Invulnerable vs all attacks (shooting and assault)
-Sternguard Veterans may all take combi-weapons in addition to their special ammo types
-Thunderfire Cannon has 3 different fire modes all of which use four of the small-blast markers
-Shrike grants his army Fleet
-Lysander grants his army Combat Tactics or Stubborn
~Once again its great to see the design studio open up its views to the community. I know that a lot of grousing over some of the 5th edition changes went away down here in Austin once folks got to hear Allessio explain WHY he made some of the changes. As for the minis, I’m eyeing those drop-pods! Finally, I’m pretty excited over the possibilities of those Sternguard Veterans. Its nice to see some rules to finally make Veteran Tacticals a force to be reckoned with. Now I can understand how dangerous a Chapter’s 1st company can be, even without Terminator suits.
