Space Marines?

[Jack Shrapnel]

okay GW... slow... down...only so much money here....

From Faeit:

"This came as as surprise this morning, and it was very concise with the information. June 13th will see a new Adeptus Astartes codex release with two vehicle boxes! That is big news... but it gets better; New Land Raider Variant alongside a new Rhino variant.

Check out the latest on 40k Rumors,

Please remember that this is a rumor at this point.

'June 13th sees new Adeptus Astartes Codex release with two vehicle boxes. New land raider command variant included and new rhino command variant. Ornate design on additional armour plates etc. More marine kits to follow.

The codex sees predators/whirlwinds/indicators as 1-3 options. No surprise.
The codex sees land raider squadrons and huge bonus to ignoring damage when part of them.
More info to come...' "

"According to the latest on Space Marine rumors below, Black Templar will be getting their own codex in the future. In the current release environment this makes sense, and in the meantime Temar players will still be able to use the Space Marine codex.

Please remember that these are rumors.

Here is a little clarifications for my last Codex content rumors:

Black Templars are not "gone" in the Fluff and from the Universe, they will be only removed from the Codex Space Marines. Templars will become soon or later a own Codex again. For this Time you can use the current codex.

Otherwise I have become more informations:
-The Raven Guard Strike Squadron Detachment can only chosen by armies with the Raven Guard Chapter Tactics
-Same with the White Scars Detachment
-The Vanguard will be Fast Attack
-Command Squads in Power Armour can be 5-9 Models large, not only 5"

From Faeit... and yes there are official pics!

"Remember only a couple weeks ago we had rumors of Adeptus Astartes Command Vehicles? Well, they are here, and being announced as an exclusive release for Warhammer World! The new tanks are called the Rhino Primaris and the Land Raider Exelsior.

via Warhammer World
Here is a link to the Warhammer World release notice.

You're not imagining things gents, that IS a hull mounted grav cannon.

[nekekami]

Yep, and you get to MUST yell EXCELSIOR! when you shoot with it.



Edit: Also there's a command rhino. Woooo.

[calitom]

EXCELSIOR.

[Jack Shrapnel]

so I have to install grav cannons on my angry marine landraiders?

done!

[raceygaming]

I already don't like the sounds of that...oh look my land raider that carries around my centurions will ALSO have Grav cannons just to make sure I'm Grav enough for the Grav club.

[voodoo]

Well, elder get lots of D weapons, sounds more than fair to update the available weapon options on the most technically advanced tank in the astartes arsenal.

[calitom]

If only Blood Angels got centurions. Yay vanilla codex supremacy.

Edit : Also that's a gravcannon with an amp- so not even a dinky little grav gun, it's a Dev Cent with AV 14.

[thesanityassassin]

I for one am thrilled to see a Godhammer Land Raider get some more decent offense added in. I love the tank and everything it represents, but I can't bring myself to pay 250 points for 2 twin-linked Lascannons and a heavy bolter. A Grav Cannon might change my opinion a bit, especially with Machine Spirit.

Also, wave goodbye to one of the last places you ever see a heavy bolter used.

[voodoo]

lol, I use mine as ablative wounds on Sicarans.

[voodoo]

We've got some rules!

Space Marine HQ Command Tanks sold in one box together with only one sprue to upgrade both base tanks (think the price is £75). They have either the space marines, blood angels, dark angels or space wolves faction. They are chosen together as one HQ slot but operate as separate units on the battlefield.

Rhino Primaris gets an Orbital Array which either brings in one reserve unit automatically or calls an orbital alpha strike (massive blast orbital bombardment) and also has a serveo-skull hub which once per game, per ability, gives one unit in 12” snapshots (including overwatch) at full BS OR fearless OR vehicles only, restore 1 hull point on 2+. Comes with twin-linked plasma gun and transport capacity of 6. No information on points cost yet for either tank.

Excelsior has Aquila Aegis field which is effectively extra armour with inbuilt 6++. One unit within 12″ (can be upgraded to 18″ for 10pts) gains one special rule for the turn from: counter-attack, fearless, hit & run, Interceptor, preferred enemy, sky fire, spit fire or tank hunters. Can take a combi plasma. Comes with 2 twin linked lascannons, a grav cannon and grav.

If an Excelsior is within 24” of one or more friendly primaris then +1 BS to excelsior. Both tanks can take the usual stormbolter, hunter killer, extra armour and dozer blade (rhino only) upgrades

[voodoo]

The excelsior land raider alongside a Sicaran would be fairly disturbing to flyers.
