No, we’re not talking about the White Scars rumors that have been popping up all summer long. Another Space Marine supplement may be coming on top of that!
An Industry Insider dropped a word of some support coming for the Space Marines. But even after their mention, it left the door wide open for us to guess on exactly what that support could include.
Check out what could be lying in wait for the Emperor’s finest as we move further into 8th edition.
RUMORS: Another Space Marine Supplement Coming Soon
Here’s what an industry insider had to say:
Second Marine supplement coming in 2019. G man’s boys getting an Ultramarines supplement, datacards, etc. soon…
While there’s a little meat to this rumor, the door is still wide open for guesses on what further supplements could be.
What we DO know is that Ultramarines have been growing in popularity on the competitive scene as Robbie G lists are consistently hovering around the top of the meta. We aren’t really seeing any other Chapters appear all too often. So with even more Ultramarines support possibly inbound, it’s exciting to see what “supplements” turns into.
If this pans out to be a codex, this will be their first wholely stand-alone rules set since 1995!
2nd Edition Codex Ultramarines (note bottom left “supplement”)
It could be Chapter-specific Primaris units similar to the Victrix Guard or maybe something simple like dice, datacards, etc. However, one important thing to keep in the back of your mind is that this is all just a rumor for now.
So with Ultramarines at the head of the Space Marine meta, what would you like to see the faction get? Are you a diehard Ultramarines fan? Or have you jumped on the Chapter’s power train in 8th and started building your army recently?
More White Scars rumors are here and the Chapter support could be coming sooner than you think. Check out the latest on the Emperor’s fifth Legion.
