GW showed off quite a lot in that that Space Marine codex reveal video. Take a look.

GW showed off the new Space Marine Codex and Necron Codexes that are coming this October.

via Warhammer Community

“These two new codexes will be available for you to buy in October – stay tuned for more previews and more new model reveals in the coming weeks.”

ENHANCE!!!

Immediately the community (all over the place, but we’ll throw the great folks at B&C credit) started to tear in the video frame by frame and with the help of some magnifying glasses and eye-trauma found the following:

New Captain Mini

A new Captain sporting what looks like a grav weapon and a power sword.

Until the end of the battle, each time a model with this tactic makes an attack against an enemy unit with that battlefield role, reroll a wound roll of 1.
