Rumours of the new marines and my lack of progress

Rumours about a new Space Marine codex are currently flying around the interwebs.  The main two items are that they are getting a "bigger" dreadnought and some kind of obliterator marine that is bigger than a terminator.  The dreadnought I could probably live with, but I'm not sure if I like the concept of the heavy weapon harness marines.

I mean, I know GW need to make sales and given that every man and his dog owns a marine army, they need something new to get people to buy stuff.  But I would have liked to see something more in line with the current established fluff (new vehicles based on STC etc).  If I'm being honest with myself though, I will more than likely be buying the new minis anyway.

There is another new rumour that they will be getting a bunch of new weapons like grav weapons.  This may make me rather upset lol.  I already have all the heavy and special weapons I need!

Having said all that, I'm eagerly awaiting the new codex to see what they do with it.

So I've had about seventy or eighty odd marines undercoated waiting to get painted for some time now, but I just can't motivate myself to actually make a start on them.  I struggled to get the thunderhawk finished and it didn't give me the usual sense of accomplishment finishing a miniature does.  Maybe because I don't think I did it justice.

I've also been toying around with the new Eldar minis since I have a large Eldar army as it stands and love all the new minis (Wraithknight, Cri

Anyway, I guess I'll make a start on some more marines now.  They're not going to paint themselves.

Until next time people.
