The large Space Marine Mark X Armor rumor was squashed. Come take a look at a new rumor that just might shed some light on the future of Mark X Armor.
The “large scale” Space Marine was bunked and revealed that it was a kit bash. However, this doesn’t mean that the future of Mark X armor is bunked. One new rumor spotted on Faeit is giving us a look at what actually might be the future of Space Marines.
This is a rumor, so make sure you add heavy salt to this one.

Mark X is the design of the new marine kits. They are reverse compatible. It’s a facelift more akin to the Deathwatch than anything else. There is new narrative to bring the armor into the game. This includes justification for how the bits will show up in non-new chapters, but I can’t go into any more detail on that.
I cannot confirm the contents of a new getting started set at this time.
3-Pack models is something that’s been discussed for some time. They will replace the current punch-fit plastics to help people get started for those that do not buy a starter-set on their first trip into a Games Workshop. They are re-arrangements of current plastic ranges onto smaller butterfly sprues. Thus you’d be getting the same quality models, and can be used by new players for a small monetary investment, or veteran players who only need a few more bodies for a particular task (for example, buying a tactical squad + 1 to have a meltagunner, flamer, plasmagunner and a gravgunner, in what is a 13 man squad you pick 10 of).
So we’re looking at an upgrade kit that is reverse compatible across all Space Marines, and nothing about nothing about the scale of the Marines being larger. The idea of 3-pack models might just be becoming a reality, with butterfly sprues instead of the normal full size sprues we’re used to seeing.
The Mark X Armor upgrade is, supposedly, going to be more like what we saw with the Deathwatch upgrades, and the narrative will justify non-new chapters being able to take it as well.
Once again these are just rumors, not to be taken as 100% factual. What are your thoughts? Is this sounding a little more believable than the “Large Scale” rumor we saw previously? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
