Well, anyone signed up for Games Workshop's Newsletter will know that there are some new figures coming our way in march alongside the new book, and Space Marines was mentioned. So, purely for speculating fun, what would you guess the new release/s will be? I personally would guess (Read hope) for a Master of the Forge model. Perhaps it would be fitting to have a Space Marine Captain already on a bike, but I'm not sure. So, guess away ^^
What will March's new Marine releases be?

Near as I can tell the only thing we're missing are a conversion beamer/master of the forge, a few dreadnought arms and a captain on a bike, though the captain is easily made.
Most likely it'll just be more chapter specific bitz packs like the recent crimson fists release.
Personally I'd like to see some power armor lightning claws and a bitz pack to convert a tactical squad/assault squad into their veteran brothers. Maybe a sprue with 5 terminator honors shoulder pads and 5 of each weapon option including special bolters.

That would be nice, as well as overdue. I don't see that though, if they have a chance to have us buy full boxes to suplement our other models... GW really hasn't shown that they have the best interests of our wallets on their minds.

New book? You mean the NIDS book, or is there a space marine book coming out?
Neither. In March they are releasing a book... I'll use examples to explain.
You will know of Anihilation(sp) and Capture and Control, missions in the rulebook.
Basically a book giving 30 more ideas or so for games similar to these.

If I had a wish list these would definitely be on it.

Thats probably going to be in May or June, according to BellofLostSouls.net. Apparently the Battle Missions book and a hodge podge of marine, IG etc models and accessories will be released in March (which is confirmed via emails from GamesWorkshop).
Blood Angels is alledgedly the next codex update but Battle Missions will push it back from March...

Why would you want a new logan model? His current model is awesome.

They don't really need new character models (everyone but Ragnar's is cool, Ragnar's imo, is kinda awkward stancewise), except for Arjac perhaps (or a Bjorn model that costs $70).
I would have loved to see thunderwolves, but now i almost hope they hold off since i'm building Dark Elf Cold ones, and Space Marines on Raptors is just awesome (all the same rules minus wolfkin, and they ar totally workable from a fluff perspective).
As for other things, Dreadnaught arms would be much appreciated, especially since 2 of my dreads are from AoBR, which means no fun stuff.
And power armored lightning claws, storm shields, and thunderhammers would be greatly appreciated, though again, long shot.
As for vehicle sprues, unless they make a razorback conversion kit (a real one) then I'm not sure what it would be.

heard of new blood angels codex. I even saw a picture online that was pretty cool looking if its true. It would certainly be a step up from the PDF codex they have now

Actually with the wolf guard box you can pretty much make arjac easily.

You mean the mock-up. Shown below? Apparently its fake (though fairly well done I must say).
The original picture (included too) is an Imperial Fists picture. You can tell the BA one is made from it due to the fists on the shoulder pads of some of the marines beyond the front row, and one of the banners in the back still has the yellow coloring and a fist.
Still an awesome picture, though I almost like the red better because it stands out more compared to the yellow. We'll probably know what the real picture looks like soon enough (heck, maybe GW will use its sense of humor and polish the mock-up and make it the real one.

the blood angels could use an actual codex instead of a pdf file though

I don't mind the Biker Chaplain. The only real problem is the old backpack, but that is very easy to fix.
