Don’t call it a come back? Hot on the heals of new factions and xenos releases, here’s the latest Astartes rumors!
via Birds in the Trees 4-11-2015
Space Marines are one of the two “standard old school” codices that will be a full update this year.
The codex update itself is more of a minor refresh to bring it into alignment with the current edition design trends.
Minis coming are:
– Assault Marines box refresh/update
– New Chaplain (probably plastic)
