Space Marine Codexs
Steven Hall
other
primary chapters of space marines?? They've done Dark Angels, Blood Angels,
Space Wolves, but was about Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists?? Anyone know of
a future for them??
Another i wanted to know, they are releasing the new Space Marine
Dreadnought
next month, i missed the WD 253,254 did they say they are remaking the Space
Marine models??
Annnnd, sorry about this rant but... i looked at the WD and it had a Dark
Angels
Space Marine Dreadnought that was Band M, though they had a Vindicator at
Band K. Just wondering, whats the difference between buying a normal Space
Marine Dreadnought and painting it in Dark Angels colours, or buying The
Dark
Angels Space Marine Dreadnought??
All that i can tell is a few stickers....
Thanks
Regards

The Crimson Fists are dead (see cover of RT and the Rynns World saga)...
there is no future for them - well not fore about 500 years until the 6
surviving (see a WD article about a year ago) gene seeds can be grown up
to a full chapter.

There already is. Its called the vanilla 'Space Marines
Codex'. The Space Marines codex is for any chapter without a codex
of its own. In the case of Imperial Fists and the Crimson Fists they
both have special characters listed in the back of the SM codex.

No Codices, but so far every Chapter or Legion without an army list of its own
has been given one when Index Astartes covered it (Flesh Tearers, Emperor's
Children) and the White Scars and Iron Warriors are known to be getting similar
treatment - the Imperial Fists may as well.

They aren't - the Dreadnought is simply one of the last models in the SM range
which hasn't been remade or rereleased for the new edition so far, as the Land
Raider was some time ago. Everything else bar the Chaplain, Librarian, Rhino
(which has been redone but has yet to be released), the two basic Predators and
the Whirlwind has already been redone, so they aren't due replacements any time
soon.

If you're talking about the old metal model, the Dark Angels version had a
different sarcophagus design and a different weapon fit (twin lascannon and a
missile launcher rather than storm bolter/power fist and multimelta, if I
remember correctly). The plastic one is, well, plastic and Ł5 cheaper.

I doubt we'll see any more marine codexes, but the Index Astartes
articles in White Dwarf are covering all the 20 original chapters, and
appear to be giving special rules where they haven't already. However,
it's been established that Imperial Fists are a Codex chapter, so I
can't imagine they'll get much more than the space marine codex. Maybe
some special deployment rule to cover thier crusading nature?

Just the Dreadnaught. It's out this month.

Not including the plastic dread! -
The difference between the normal (ultramarine), Blood Angels and Dark
angels Dreadnaught is the sarcoghagous front plate, the top of the
banner pole and the weapons that are included. However, only the DA
plate would look particularily out of place on another chapter, so if
you want to use another one and are happy about the weapon fit, go for
it. But they are all supposed to be the same price I think.
The new plastic dread is cheaper, and comes with a variety of front
plates and most of the available weapon fits. You'd be better off
waiting a few weeks for it to come out.

It would take only around 50 years for them to grow up to full strength
unless something is wrong with their geneseed implants. The one in the neck
generates one every 5 years, while the one in the chest generates one every
10 years. They may not be able to recruit marines that quickly, but it
certainly doesn't take 500 years to regrow sufficient geneseed for a
chapter.
