Can you believe this shit.AP 2 bolters, Bolt guns with pinning and rending. Artificier armor still exists, but not Demon armor. All types of Master crafted shit. Many of these guys give abilities to other units. Its almost like they gave the responsibility of writing the new codex to some spoiled 12 year old who wants his marines to never lose a battle. How can anyone ever try to compare the chaos codex to this fucking pile of bullshit. They even have a character who can crew a vehicle and ignores crew stunned and shaken results and has a BS of 5. If his vehicle is destryed he can mount a new one. Capt Cassius has a toughness 6...how did that happen. So much for Nurgle. Calgar has an assault 4 AP2 storm bolter??????????!!!!!!!!!! They dont even pretend to be trying to keep things balanced. WHAT A PILE OF TRIPE. If you play Space Marines dont ever fucking cry about cheese again...your army will be the embodiment of CHEESE.

That's a lot of ownage getting passed around with those characters.

Hope they'll be represented by the points cost.

Hopefully.

Where is the AP 2 bolters Bill, I don't see them there at all?

Otherwise there is some pretty nasty shit in there. I hope this isn't becoming a GW trend.

AP 2 bolters on marneus calgar dan. nasty doesnt come close. i just hope theyre not Str 10 too.

Has anyone found the Bittorrent for this codex? I have been looking the past fews days with no success.

I bought my Marneus Calgar Model just now on ebay!

Shakira's bitch dose have a point. Oh shit, your Harlquins assaulted my squad and killed one Marine because of your horrible rolling...i killed none...hmmm you win combat...hmmm next turn you'll probably slaughter the whole squad...i decide to fail, run back 2d6 next turn rapid fire in your effing face!

Pretty tits as max would say.

It's some broke ass shit is what is is.

hmm, maybe if my Orks loot some power armor we can get the same benefits !

SPACE MARINES FOR THE BROKE !

Here's GW's train of thought...

" Hmmmmm....... Hmmmmm...... Sales are dropping, Hmmm..... loosing money......Hmmm..... Space Marines already make up more profit than the sale of Warhammer Fantasy and Lord of the Rings combined...... Hmmmm.... (scratch head).... ... hm.mmm..... ( light bulb)...... Wait a second... We'll make them the most broke ass army in the game so that everyone will go and buy them, not just the 80 percent that already do !!!! HoooooHAAAh !!!

Space Marines are the NY Yankees of GW. Fuck them all.

To even things out GW will just have to re-write ALL the other codexes for all of the other races again. Which they will no doubt.

space marines will always be top tier, it's good they are giving them some hitting power again.

If their top tier then why are they losing the war?

what propaganda is this?!!! After all I thought you chaos mother fucks were cowering in one little corner (aka asshole) of the universe whilst we owned the rest of it!

While we take it from you. We have all eternity...how about you. Marneus wont live forever, but Typhus will.

You have a point there.

Max, I now consider you a front-runner. Yankee-loving scum, in other words. Every time another FOTM army gets some publicity, you're all about it. Weren't you all about your Chaos Khorne force a bit ago?

How dare you be a traitor among traitors?

DEATH TO THE CORPSE EMPEROR

DEATH TO THE CORPSE EMPEROR

He's the true personification of Chaos !!!

I didn't go out and buy a ORK army when they became awesome! I do like marines tho, they are a good challenge got me!
