Yep, no real surprise but new figures for 5th Edition.
Just spoke to a mate of mine who is a GW Manager in the UK and he informs me of two notable releases

1. An all new medium tank which will come in between the predator and landraider
2. Landspeeder transports for scout troops

I've been hearing of a tank for awhile but this is the first time I've heard that it will weigh in between the 2 mentioned above. The landspeeder transports are in line with the new GW approach to marines for 5th edition, which is to make marines more of a strike force than a static army.
It seems games designers want to align marines more with the fluff - small mobile forces that pin point targets, eliminate them, then get the hell out of dodge, leaving clean up for the IG.
Plastic droppods will finally come out to coincide with the new codex.
Also army traits are gone but are instead linked to the force commander ie. take a particular armies force commander who has furious charge, then your army has furious charge, making them XYZ Chapter. This is to encourage players to take force commanders instead/in addition of the chaplian/librarian.

Now before I get the naysayers, this guy is one of my best mates and doesn't speak crap. He's pretty low key. Secondly, a lot of this info comes from one of the play testers, who is a close mate of his. Thirdly, he didn't speak about anything he didn't know about ie the Plantestrike supplement.

Un char intermédiaire entre le pedator et le Land raider.

tiens, ça c'est pas trop étonnant, les andouilles achetant bien sagement leur dwarf tous les mois ayant lu quelque chose à ce propos dans l'index véhiculus (sais plus le nom exact^^) du predator (ou du land raider??) (enfin, bref, c'était dans un dwarf)...

Pitite question conne, quel serait apparement le chassis de ce véhicule (si toutefois le dwarf ou autre chose laisse une quelconque information à ce sujet), parce que je vois mal comment faire entre pred et land sur chassis rhino.....

Hi guys

There's no way I'd normally comment on a rumour thread, especially if my commenting could be construed as confirming or denying anything (which it can't - so don't, OK!). But in this case, the OP is quoting a playtester as having given out this information, and as one of my jobs is to coordinate our playtest program, this makes it personal dammit!

So, I just want to say that no such information or document has been passed to any playtester, so make of the original source what you will...

Cheer

Andy Hoare

Sachez que Andy Hoare himself est exceptionnellement intervenu sur le topic "New Marine Tank and Land Speeder Transports" de Warseer pour infirmer ces âneries.

C'est comique, parceque chez smith en face, on ressort exactement les mêmes paroles, attribué au gus, pour infirmer toute rumeur sur la V5.
Alors 2 choses possibles:
- Les propos de andy hoare sont une rumeur lol.
- C'est un joli speech appris par coeur et ressorti textuellement à chaque occasion dans la veine du "pas de commentaire", autrement dit un non qui veut dire oui.

"OK people, the dex is back from the printers and it's a real peach! Base rules written Jervis, trimmings written by Matthew Hoggard I think his name is.

The info bellow is 100% taken from a final print new SM dex.

Codex

Master of the forge, has a conversion beamer.
new land raider variant, called the Redeemer with Str 6 AP3 flamer sponsons and twin linked assault cannon. Sallies like this and the colour section has one in sallies colours.
3 Dread variants. Again sallies seem to favour the new Ironclad Dread which is like a heavy assault/breaching dread. (AV13)
New Veteran rules - Tactical Vets (special ammo like death watch.), and Assault vets (can have jump packs and an assaulted array of nasty CC weapons) can deep strike and assault in the same turn.
Scout bikers will remain.
No two special weapons even for Sallies .

Commander in terminator armour on a bike or has a jump pack has no bearing on army selection. However special characters do.

Other Stuff

My reflections;

Elite section is clustered.
No two special weapons in 10 = weak like Ukraine
AP 3 Flamer Land Raider = Me buy
New Rule is called combat tactics, voluntary fall back = Awesome
New Vets = Actually make sense, look fun (Deep strike and assault, yes please)
Scouts weaker but still in Troops = Time will tell if everyone goes all Tacs...
Thunderfire = Sounds full of win

Drop pod kit looks similar to the forgworld kit but is hollow with seats around the edges and a control table in the middle. Storm bolter come down from the ceiling of the pod when deployed.
Drop pod kit priced about the same as rhino's (£18)

Pasiphaé, remarque le sergent scout je vais l'acheter, prendre la tête et sculté dessous un gros corps bouffie en peignoir...Avec une petite pancarte "PC".

S'il y a tout de même un truc qui me chiffonne, c'est bien la couverture de cette nouvelle mouture :( . Même si elle illustre mieux les tactiques d'attaques éclair de l'élite de l'impérium (drop pod et land speeder), j'aimais bien le dernier carré contre les tytys.

Par contre, les persos m'ont tout l'air d'être de parfaits inconnus (à moins qu'ils ne proviennent d'un très vieux fluff) sauf Sicarius (Eh, qu'a t'il fait de ses griffes?!!).

voici un lien du:

nouveau speeder transporteur de scouts


nouveau dreadnought


nouveau space wolf


ca fait mal, très mal ........

merci bell of lost souls

Par contre, les persos m'ont tout l'air d'être de parfaits inconnus (à moins qu'ils ne proviennent d'un très vieux fluff)

Produit étonnant qui n'invite pas à l'acheter plusieurs fois, contrairement aux autres détachements que propose la marque.
