so weirdly enough...
I have three space marine armies and my lists for each don't change with this book, and point costs basically stay the same. I would have to either buy different models to field formations or just keep running the exact same lists as always... which pretty much function the same way. I actually have zero need for the new book unless I want to change my armies to have formations (as currently none of the armies I own could run any formations other than the storm wing)

I think I'm going to have to play around with the formations a bit honestly - I'm really close to already running the Armoured Task Force and the 10th Company Task Force - I don't know about squeezing in another tank and a random Techmarine, but now that Scouts are BS4 again I think that 2-3 Storms and possibly some Scout Bikes with Grenade Launchers is going to be quite solid, and giving them all precision shot early would be awesome - Picking out Exarchs with S6 grenades sounds fantastic!

Frank Herbert's Space marines might just happen.... All scout (Fremen) army? with precision shots turn 1? WHAEYOOOOO!!!!
EDIT: Still a terrible idea as they'll fold like grass to any shooting but at least it'd look cool, haha.

Lets hope They are not Barage.. or thats 12 small blast templates. ...... Need more Thunderfire cannons..... I suspect we are going to see a lot of these in the future.

Here is a nice touch... If you use the Whirlwind and Landspeeder Formation with a unit of 3 Whirlwinds. That's 3 large Barrage templates with Shred, and TL. Against Light infantry that's deadly. (Str 4, Ap 5 ignores cover)
You can make a really mean list. .... February is only 8 months away....

Don't forget that (assuming I read it right) that Land-a-whirl formation also lets the Whirlwinds shoot targets outside their range as long as the the labdspeeder is within 12" of the target
