A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle. The other tank mounts 2 tri-barreled turrets instead.
One tank veterans will already be familiar with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The assault version has a bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault drills mounted on the gauntlets. The devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it appears to go over the marine's power armour however. This will also show in a rule called Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being played. First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Ultramarines. I believe these wound against the armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness of 2). 6 of these will be covers for First Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover.
Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines. Well, thanks to Best_Pone, the ever stalwart rumor monger. The interesting thing will be how GW fixes the sad truth. And things are looking interesting for the majority of 40K players who play the Angels of Death!
