The new(ish) Codex: Space Marines is great, as are the things I've seen for the upcoming Space Wolves book.
However, there are 1000 chapters of space marines and not much leeway to explore the possibilities.
I personally loved the divergent chapter rules in the previous book. But now, GW seems content to expand the horizons of the space marines through the use of Chapter Tactics attached to special characters, or individual codices.
I would love, LOVE, if GW would just forgo writing entire codexes for the divergent chapters and just come out with an expansion for Codex Space Marines called NON-Codex Space Marines.
Include the divergent chapter rules, rules for creating unique vehicle variants, methods for creating characters with special Chapter Tactics and premade builds for represent the big divergent chapters we know and love.
Sure, you'd have to ALSO own Codex Space Marines, but lets face it; Space Marines are by far the most popular army. People WOULD buy ANOTHER codex if it meant being able to put a more personalized force together (at least I would). If they positioned it like the Witch Hunters and Daemon Hunters books (a force more or less designed to augment an existing imperial force) I think it could be extremely compelling.
But, what do YOU want to see?
