Слухи: Space Marines. Вторая компиляция

Like we discussed many many months ago the Space Marine special character changes to Combat Tactics still exist, but are also now available for purchase as an upgrade to a generic HQ allowing you to play Ravenguard without Shrike, or Salamanders without Vulkan. 

The special characters usually also include some other more specific army-wide changes included in the replacement of Combat Tactics to make them still desirable, as they represent a specific company, within a different chapter, etc.Space marines will be getting 2 supplement codexes though by the end of 2013 

Lastly, Ultramarines are not the focus of the Space Marine book any more.  Instead the pages describe the book representing any of the second founding chapters, and many of the founding as well who converted to following the Codex Astartes. 

Outside of the over-abundance of Ultramarine special characters it's not "their book" anymore, which means it leaves things open for them getting a dedicated supplement as well.  If anyone rages about this being a cash grab and not just creative room to give Ultramarines the attention they deserve the same as any other Chapter, you're wrong.

This is part one of a conversation, and I simply split the subjects up so that things would not get missed due to its length, while keeping all the details and integrity. So first off we are going to talk about codex supplements, next up.... the Space Marine codex.As I told you about a year ago, there are going to be more supplements for pretty much all the codexes, even Chaos Space Marines and Tau: though no work has really been done on the latter. 

There is not going to be another Eldar one in 2013.White Scars is one of the supplement codexes, and it is also complete (borderline printed) so logic dictates it'll be released a few weeks after the SM codex, but I don't have a street date for you. 

Space marines will be getting 2 supplement codexes though by the end of 2013, so again... chances are white scars will be one of them.For the Blood Angels and Space Wolves players, fear not you will be getting full codex support and not just supplements.  Read between those lines.
