- OK people, the dex is back from the printers and it's a real peach! Base rules written Jervis, trimmings written by Matthew Hoggard I think his name is.
The info bellow is 100% taken from a final print new SM dex. Codex 144 pages. (twice he size of the necron dex) Written by Jervis + Matt Cover art of Ultramarines Section for each of the Chapters of Legend (like Eldar Craftworlds in C:Eldar) but without any in-game rules. General Marine Rules Combat Squads works as codex Dark angels. 1 Heavy 1 special. New marine rule, based on Ld, called Comabt tactics. New Drop pod rule. Traits dissapear. Free frag grenades, krak grenades and bolt pistols. Unit Rules new techmarine rules has a new option in the form of the thunderfire Master of the forge, has a conversion beamer. new land raider variant, called the Redeemer with Str 6 AP3 flamer sponsons and twin linked assault cannon. Sallies like this and the colour section has one in sallies colours. 3 Dread variants. Again sallies seem to favour the new Ironclad Dread which is like a heavy assault/breaching dread. (AV13) New Veteran rules - Tactical Vets (special ammo like death watch.), and Assault vets (can have jump packs and an assaulted array of nasty CC weapons) can deep strike and assault in the same turn. Scout bikers will remain. No two special weapons even for Sallies . 5 man terminator squads 1 heavy. Commander in terminator armour on a bike or has a jump pack has no bearing on army selection. However special characters do. Rites of battle is gone. But marine captain get Halos Special Characters 11 specials which add chapter traits to your army, Calgar, Tigirius, Lysander, Shrike, Kronos, Sicarius, Kantor, Tu'Shan (WTF really hard guy probably the best SM charater in the game but at 200+ points...), Cassius, White Scar guy and scout character, all will have models. Other Stuff Drop pod kit looks similar to the forgworld kit but is hollow with seats around the edges and a control table in the middle. Storm bolter come down from the ceiling of the pod when deployed. Drop pod kit priced about the same as rhino's (£18) Codex release date is October Plastic LR redeemer/crusader Plastic Scout bikers, imaging scouts on scrambler bikes! Retooled Plastic Land speeder + another new varient which works with scout squads call land speeder storm. Scouts have helfire heavy bolter rouns but are WS and BS 3 and are still troops Thunderfire a thuddgun/molemortar cross. New metal range (I think more metal vets!..... again.... mmmm jump packs!) New Sicarus now has hair and a beard! *shrugs* go figure! Razor back has may weapon option, twin heavy bolter, Heavy Flamers, Assault Cannons, Multimelta, Lascannon, and Lascon and twin plasma guns. New HQ units. Marines are now what you may call pretty hard! HQ Specials Captain Master of the forge Librarians Chaplains ELITES Terminators Vanguard Vets (tact vets) ??? Vets (assault vets) Dreadnough Venerable Dreadnought Iornclad Dreadnought Techmarines - Thunderfire TROOPS Tactical Marines Scouts TRANSPORTS Rhino Razorback Drop Pod Land Speeder Strom (Scouts only) ASSAULT Assault Marines Bikes Scout Biks Attack Bikes Landspeeder HEAVY SUPPORT Preadator Devastators Vindicator Wirlwind Land Raider Land Raider Crusader Land Raider Redeemer"

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Tue May 20, 2008 2:21 pm | | | Cool, then we get codex:SM about a month later. I think Combat Tactics is a damn sweet ability, Marines look to get quite competitive again for that reason alone imo. Vet Assault Marines in the regular codex is cool too. Man... everytime I think of going away from Marines, something pulls me back in. Marc: White Scar love for you too! | |

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Tue May 20, 2008 3:23 pm | | | Sallies sure are, and man... what about that str 6 ap 3 template? Nasty. I wonder if any of this will somehow effect the BA or DA books. To be honest, it needs to for a number of reasons. Other wise BA + DA players will be playing red or green codex marines. Of course, this is all just rumor still. | |

- I may have to ditch the Assault Marines for Scout Bikes as well.
Considering how dissapointing Scout Bikes have been it should be interesting if they will rely on the new main rules alone to up them or(and) go in and twink them directly. | |

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Fri May 23, 2008 11:13 am | | | Ok so I was reading around and finally found out the combat tactics for the marine dex means that after a round of hth you can choose to auto break, then use your ATSKNF to auto re-group the next turn. Maybe my gunline tactics arent wrecked from the get go. And the Land raider redeemer has two INFERNO cannons from what I understand which means a 24" range, hmmm. I think I know what my new heavy options are going to be, and I wasted money on Vindicators, shame. | |

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Fri May 23, 2008 11:21 am | | | Combat tactics is very powerful. I think the gun line will be really nasty come 5th. As long as you can reach out and grab those objetives. Maybe a rhino squad or two. | |

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Fri May 23, 2008 11:28 am | | | Matt going to get the objectives isnt my style. The question will be if everyone is actually going to build a horde army. I play to kill your army, if you dont have any units left, I don't need to worry about objectives. Some others have started to notice this about my playstyle. But going down that road I will probably take LR Redemer or two, just move tacticals around later game FTW, hopefully. Or maybe a scout squad or two with their special character so they can be troops and just walk on next to your objective hopefully. I dunno though. I do know these rumors have me pretty exicted for 5th and the new codex to get here, never thought I would say that. | |

| Subject: Re: [RUMOR] The SM motherload Fri May 23, 2008 12:09 pm | | | Yep from what I understand Marc is: You get charged, You choose to break 2 d6, if they arent still within 6" you get to auto- regroup, firing heavy weapons or even moving back and assaulting them. There used to be a special character that allowed marines to do the auto break if I remember correctly. | |
