And you know what this means right, if the rumour is true? We're going to get a Living Saint as a super-unit. Those things are hellacious looking.

One thing I've wondered has been if they could expand Chaos a little bit more. I mean, from the way the army is currently built, neither Nurgle nor Slaanesh can show up.

While I loathe Nurgle, I love Slaanesh, and feel kind of disappointed that he/she doesn't show up.

Witch Hunters Codex. :P Seriously, unless you want that old John Blanche shit, the WH Codex has the only good, up-to-date Sororitas artwork.

It would probably be nice to get some Death Guard and Noise Marines on the map, that's for sure. Especially if they give the Noise Marine champion a 'power axe' (if you catch my drift :wink:).

based on what I've read in codexes, the Adepta Soritas lacks the heavy firepower the space marines and their weakness (since they're just normal humans in power armor) makes then more ranged weapon based then the space marines.

and btw there's one reason Slaanesh units will probably never show up in the computer games ands it's called boob (as if you add the specialist marines why leave Daemons out)

While that is true, they're shooty in a different way, preferring a close range so they can douse people in burning Promethium. They are actually fond of mixing it up in hand-to-hand combat, and can call upon their Faith in the Emperor to get some serious limb ripping power if need be.

Because as far as Ruinous Aspected soldier go, Plague Marine and Noise Marines are a whole lot cooler than Plaguebearer and Daemonettes. Though Daemonette Cavalry is kind of cool, the fact of the matter is that huge, power armoured metal heads armed with screaming, flesh pulping sonic weaponry is much, much cooler.

Coolness factor aside, Plague Marines, Thousand Son or Noise Marines aren't that different from regular marines, so best way IMHO to add them would to make the legion selection be more then just colors, meaning that World Eaters would full Khorne with Bloodletters replacing the horrors and so on.

Win and awesome. I have to wonder how they'll introduce air units, though; I have to assume they'll be distinct from current jump/skimmer units like the land speeder. This'll pretty much require some form of change to the engine, no?
