pretre Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 From Hastings on Atia's Blog: PENDING 40k Rumors - Mar 2017 Quote I wouldn't be expecting too much in the way of releases for existing chapters from this point going forwards, not that there won't be 'some', expect the focus to shift onto GW pumping out RGs new armies and weapons of destruction for the upcoming storylines/advances/crusade mk2 ;) (who knows there might even be a new starter box on the not too far horizon ;) ) Without trying to sound like a dick I've known for almost 9 months where this story was going and who revived RG etc. if the rest of what I was told is true (new marines, Mortarion and his plague armies etc.) then there are truly some very exciting times coming for 40k players/hobbyists! Quote New marines as in Imperial or Chaos? Quote Imperial *EDIT, there will of course be new Chaos Marines models, but I am referring to a totally new kind of Marine, those created on Mars by Cawl & RG along with the other new machineries of war. See one of my original posts here.... Quote I can well imagine some kind of Mk9 marine bred from custodes or grey knight genestock with some new goodness. Perhaps they'll even be true scale! Then we'll all have to buy all our marines all over again. Quote New marines will make old marines seem like empire now seem to sigmarines ...... if that makes sense? :) Quote SO Mark 9 power armour? Quote Not only the armour will change ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Oh GW. You money hungry plastic crack dealer you :) while I don't look forward to replacing a collection I've built over decades, the story advances and new mini's are pretty excellent. the blurb about mort and his plague armies has my interest. Hopefully it'll be spiffy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I for one welcome our new marine overlords 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 So is the idea to make all the current models worthless? Or is it just another option for marines? Or is it just another game entirely? I think it would be a real mistake to expect marine players to replace all their infantry (plus all the vehicles would be the wrong size).

Just another army...of more "elite" marines I guess.. As per Hastings comments-- "New marines will make old marines seem like empire now seem to sigmarines ...... if that makes sense? :) " People still play Empire in AoS,,they actually are pretty good with gunlines and the new Ironweld arsenal:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Personally, I can't wait to see what Mars will churn out....sincd with Cawl back...he maybe wrote a couple of the STC's that have long been forgotten :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one of many things that is preventing the imperium from moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
