Checkout those  Space Marines. Notice anything different?

Looks to be some very interesting new armor marks, with a pronounced MKIII Errant style Gorget, new style of bolters, helmets and judging from the perspective of the 32mm base, they are taller even.

Wow that was fast.

We know there are new Death Guard coming, and now there may be new models to oppose them as well in the new Starter box if the 8th edition image below ends up being a teaser for the contents of a new starter box for 40k:
