Likewise - I know someone who'll be fairly keen to see them. Wonder if they'll still be allowed to take wolven and LRBTs...

Now if they'd just update the other third edition codices instead of going for fourth edition ones...

Then I want Codex: Kannak Skulltakers as well.
Nah, but bottom line, GW produces whatever they think they can sell. And I have to admit I like the Space Wolves, my favourite loyalist chapter. Not because of the "Barbarians in space" thing, because that's very silly, but because they're werewolves in power armour. Happy feelings.

Oh, wow. Another Space Marine codex. I am joyful beyond all rational thought. Woo-hoo. Actually the Wolves are one of the chapters that actually are divergent enough to warrent their own codex. DA/BA should have been incorperated into the main codex but SW and BT should have their own codices because you cannot represent with the marine codex. and they have one of the two oldest rules sets. There are more than two codices still around from third edition. Codex: Daemonhunters (AKA Codex: Grey Knights) Codex: Dark Eldar Codex: Necrons Codex: Space Wolves Codex: Witch Hunters (AKA Codex: Sisters of Battle) I heard Dark Eldar and then Necrons are next BTW. |

DA used to be unique. Then GW was like:
GW: Hello there little boy! How would you like some Ultramarines? They are the Emperor's greatest warriors.
Boy: No way mister, I want Dark Angels. Their rules are way better.
GW: What? Let me see that...*Reads 2nd Ed DA Codex*....UNACCEPTABLE!....*Backhands little boy accross the face and stomps of in a rage to the writing department.*
Boy: Ouch! Hey, my codex! Mommy! WAAAAA!
So they took everything that was good from the DA dex and put it into the vanila dex, and buffed the Ravenwing cheese to keep the DA players quiet.
GW, making little boys cry since 1998

Considering there's ~7 Space Marine codices, it's a perfectly valid complaint.

Seven. You will not weasel out of this by trying to claim technicalities-- no matter what excuses you use, there are still SEVEN Space Marine codices. This is even more grievous compared to there only being NINE non-Space Marine codices still usable in fifth edition, several of these are also outdated BTW.

Codex Daemonhunters is not a space marine codex, it contains several non-marine units and it's perfectly possible to play a Deamonhunters army with no marines. I do not consider the Blood Angel ''codex'' a codex, Never have and never will. And I really don't consider the chaos marine to be part of the the marien codex anyway. Just because they are both marines does not mean they are the same. I could say the same thing about the sisters and the Guard. At the end of the day we have six marine codices, one of which is noy loyalist at all, and another which they should have simply not done at all, and so we have four, only two of which are 5th edition. |

No matter what lame-ass excuses you use, Gree, they are still just that-- lame-ass excuses. Seven Marine codices, nine non-Marine codices.

You forgot Yarrick, he counts as a Space Marine Codex all by himself.

And yet, it's still a codex that focuses on a Space Marine army. Stop with the attempts to wiggle out of the plain and simple fact that there are a disproportionate number of them in comparison to everyone else.

I have to agree with Melissia. They're Marine codices in spirit. Heck you can make an Ultramarines army containing only Scouts and Tanks if you want to, with only the force commander being a true marine.
The BA codex is largely insignificant though, because they don't produce any models for it rather than a few old special characters.
