It has been quiet but then there's not a lot for us to talk about. It's all Codex: Space marines and that isn't a happy topic for us.

I've got the new codex (managed to buy it at games day) and have had a very good read through. Some of the new background material is very good, some downright fantastical (Calgar gets the better of an Avatar in single combat) but overall the background is great.

As for the rules, wargear and units that have caused all the fuss. Well there's good cause and most of the rumours are true. It's hard to write lists because you want to squeeze in some many of the new toys. Once you remember not to go overboard on the shiny bits the new book becomes terrifyingly effective.

Worst thing about the new codex? Probably that the special characters (which are many and varied) are too cheap for what they do and there are some very silly potential combinations. Pedro Kantor and Vulkan Hes'tan allow the possibility of units of assault terminators with 3 attacks each and master crafted thunder hammers, (Oh, and all the flamer and melta weapons will be twin linked as well.) Thankfully the two of them do cost a lot together.
