We got two big kits coming for the new Space Marines. Here are the latest details we’ve heard:
First let’s catch you up on the existing rumors:
The codex is not Ultramarines heavy. There will be a much broader spectrum of Chapters.
There will be supplements for the more famous chapters: Ultramarines, Imperial Fists and White Scars, and Raven Guard were all mentioned. White Scars are the first out the gate.
The cover of the new dex has apparently got Sicarius on the front, while the White Scar Codex has a bike squadron racing towards the enemy.
Expect to see loads of new weapons and squads. Possible inclusions are:
-Land Raider Terminus (4 las cannon sponsons)-Larger form of Terminator-“Big Kit” is a massive Dreadnought that is similar to an oversized Contemptor
Here’s the new stuff:
Regarding the “larger terminators” – these models are described as being similar in aesthetic to the curving shapes of both the Contemptor and Tau Stealth suits. Bigger than current Terminators – but smaller than a Dreadnought.
Regarding the “big kit” – this model has been described as being the “lovechild of an existing Dreadnought, and a Contemptor – but ENORMOUS. It has also been described as a “Knight” with the following old EPIC images hinted at:
Just as the Eldar Wraithknight was somewhat of a transposition of the Eldar Firegale Knight from epic, it would appear that the Space Marines may be getting equivalent stablemate. How much you want to bet it costs the same as well?
~Look for all this space marine stuff to arrive in September (preorders in late August), on the far side of Warhammer Fantasy’s Lizardmen.
