Yeah, any Space Marine players who complain they did not get enough new stuff aught to wait out in the back alley, where everyone who plays every other army will gladly offer their `condolences'.

DE, WH and DH got NO new models since their 'dex was released. The SM's even got a few new captains and sergeants in between 'dexes and rulebooks. And yes, that is jealousy talking here.

I dont see why the main tactical box set needs to be redone-doesnt it give all the special weapons anyway? Only thing its missing is a powerfist? (you can get the spare heavy weapons from the devastator box set anyway) Im fairly sure I saw an interview in WD around the release of the previous marine codex where it said they didnt feel the need to redo the tactical marines. (though maybe that was the actual models themselves and not whats included in the box).

Wha? Snikrot, Badrukk, zagstruk, and wazzdakka have all been around for a long time... Also, I think the plastic thunderhawk was a rumor started by a redshirt at GW. Redshirts often lie.

Spoke to GW yesterday and mentioned the rumour of updating the tac squad box and the guy said he doubt it was going to happen as there isnt really a need to add anything. Plus he says take the rumour of the plastic thunderhawk with a pinch of salt, which i agree.

I can't see a tactical squad repackage any time soon. What would they add? A powerfist? Not really worth it. All the heavy weapons options? Wouldn't that make it a Devastator squad box?

Call me sceptical.

As for the thunderhawk, I'd give it a maybe. The Baneblade was clearly a success and that wasn't even for marines.

Nope, pretty sure they were all old ones from the wyche weapons/assault weapon blisters. However, I'm pretty sure the Scourges came out a few months after the 3rd Ed/DE release

As a DE player, I TOTALLY agree that other armies need new models more urgently. The rumour I heard was that a new Tactical Squad box was going to be released, possibly with another Mk of armour in it and, seeing as how I'm starting a SM army soon, I was curious if anyone had heard about it.

Really, to me, "A GW guy told me" ranks just below "I had a dream in which there was gonna be new models!".

Not too reliable, those redshirts.
