Take a look inside the new edition Index Books. Here’s both regular AND spikey flavored Space Marines.

During a seminar on the upcoming changes to the Warhammer Community site, which included the addition of an FAQ Forum and the release of the Warscroll Builder for Age of Sigmar “very soon,” GW took the opportunity to tease a few pages from the upcoming books for 8th Edition. They released a few pages of Space Marines (including a bit on the Primaris) and they also have a look at what Chaos looks like.

Also as a part of this seminar, two new models were teased. The Angel of Decay and the Redemptor Dreadnought. You’ll find a couple of videos for those guys down below!

First up though, let’s take a look at the Space Marines.

Loads of Primaris stuff on display here. That’s one of those fancy Mk. X helmets up there, along with some color schemes for your boys.

The Ancients are the standard bearers–they are veteran soldiers of the chapter, and have proved themselves worthy of great honor and distinction.

But where there’s Space Marines, there’s also Chaos.

But that’s not all. As mentioned before, each of these factions got a new teaser video showing off two new units, the Angel of Decay and the Redemptor Dreadnought.

Here’s the Chaos one, complete with spooky demon voice and sickly green glow (as befitting an angel of Nurgle).

 

And then we have the Redemptor Dreadnought in a video entitled “Even in Death, I Still Serve.” This Dreadnought, much like the Primaris, looks to be even biggerer badderer than the others. It towers over the Space Marines, which is nothing new, but it looks big. And incredibly well-armed. Which I suppose is to be expected when you’ve got a crushing powerfist and a plasma gun for an arm.

With so much promotion of the Space Marines and the Death Guard/Nurglefriends, you’d almost think that the Imperium vs. Chaos was going to be a central conflict in the new edition or something.

What do you think of the new models? Of the new paint schemes?
