Space marines are coming, and only two months away. And we can expect some very cool supplements.
The rumour mill has known this for a while now, and we also know that this will be followed by Tyranids in Q1, Imperial Guard in Q 2 and Orks in Q3. Of course these are all subject to change or again, these are rumors so you have to take them with a grain of salt.
What is really exciting about the new Marine codex is the supplements that will be coming with it. We know White Scars are being released with the Marine Codex. And Larry over at Bell of Lost Souls told me Imperial Fists are going to have a supplement right after that. Word is it may include Black Templars, since they are an Imperial Fist successor chapter.
What other supplements can we expect from the Marines? Well, of the First Founding chapters, we can expect Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves to always get their own codexes. Ultramarines ARE the Space Marine Codex. White Scars and Imperial Fists get Supplements, that leaves only Salamanders, Iron Hands and Raven Guard. So there are your other three supplements.
It makes sense. 4 Loyalist First Founding chapters get Codexes and 5 get supplements.
Loken.
