More Marine bits, didn't see that coming.

Jesus you're fast....

Thought I'd be here with this first....

I don't like the Marines. Too plain. Same for the jumppacks. Like the design, but they're just too plain

However I do like all the terminator weaponary.

Really like that Force Axe!

I type like a sectretary and saw FW talking about a imminent newsletter on their facebook page.;)

[Wolfshade]

Yeah, these assault marines aren't doing anything for me

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

My jaw fell off! Goddammit.

[DrLove42]

The Contemptor Termys are getting more and more tempting. Think my pre-Heresy Word Bearers might have to start soon

I#d be tempted to play GK JUST so I could field an army just in contemptor armour :P

I like your style!
I want to do a Pre-Heresy army, probably World Eaters.

Those assault marines are really plain, but I guess they would look damn good when pimped with some purity seals and such, but straight out of the box they look just really boring.
I like those termy bits, a shame there are only 2 bolters, so most of those bits just won't be used with the original kit and considering the way they are done I can't really see a easy way of using them with standard GW stormbolters. Do love those lightning claws! To bad that there is only one pair.
The bolters looks really bland and boring, they have way better bolter packs already.

But its nice that FW keeps suppling us with stuff, can see xenos players getting bored with all the marine stuff, but I guess thats what sells. Would love to see some Nid and CSM stuff, but what I've heard they not coming anytime soon.

[DrLove42]

Nah...next book will be out in about a year probably and thats Necs and Marines.

Then CSM might get in the next book...

I like the Sanguinary Guard jump packs on normal guys. It's a neat touch.

[Kaika87]

I dunno what y'all are on, those Mk 4 guys rock. I just wish they had the heresy-style jump packs on the Mk3 and Mk 5 ASM. Still, the variants to the torsos, helmets, and shoulder pads look pretty sweet.

Also, I wonder how well those combi-weapon bits and Lightning Claw addons would work on a power armor model/weapon. Hmm.....

[ChacoStylez]

Oh yeah, FW needs to keep bringing the Mk IV love, it's going to make me start my pre-heresy Luna Wolves sooner rather than later.

Forgeworld, why do you temp me so much with your power armor goodness?!

[AnEnemy]

I like the Mk IV assault marines even though I'd prefer they came with normal packs too. I don't use Assault Marines. Of course, I'm a sucker for Mk IV so I'm biased. Most of my PH SWs are Mk IV...mainly due to FW shipping a pack of Mk IVs to me without heads and hands missing fingers. I spoke to customer service and they said they'd ship out replacements. Three weeks later I called again and found out that they never shipped them. Well, thankfully, three days later I got two full sets of MK IVs. I can't complain about that.

The Terminator pack doesn't appeal to me beyond the Combi Weapons. Those combi weapons would be great for my Termy Wolf Guard, but I don't see myself buying the whole pack just for those. That Thunder Hammer looks horrible to me. I'm still holding off on the Tartaros Terminators because they aren't Pre-Heresy Terms. I want FW to release Cataphracti Terms. Heard that it might be coming in the future. Who knows when though.

I'm tempted by the Tigrus bolters, but they cost more than Phobos and Umbra packs because they've decided to throw pistols and grenades in there for...ummm...zero reason. Last time I checked, Marine players had no shortage on pistols and grenades.
