The cat is really out of the bag now, and we are off and running. We have a solid set of rumors floating around now coming in strong. Best of all, is that they were verified by one of our sources here, so we can very much bet the bank this is what is coming.
Please remember that until we get an official announcement, these are still considered rumors.

"This post is going to be a little of a tease but there is information to be had. I was sent pics of the new marine models this weekend and they're amazing. I promised that I will not post them and that is where the tease part comes in. I will describe the models that I have seen and can confirm some of the rumors out there.
Centurions:
The guys are a heavy support choice. They're a marine cased in heavy armor with powerfist with lascannons under slung on one pic and heavy bolters on the other. Think of a heavier terminator armor that a marine straps into. I think this is where Chaos Oblits came from. They look to be on 40mm and I'm really starting to dig these models.
Plastic Chaplain:
Like other plastic HQ's that have come out. He is armed with a Crozius and bolt pistol. He has ornate armor and he is in a dynamic pose.
Plastic Librarian:
Same as above regarding previous HQ releases. He is helmetless and he's armed with a staff. He also has a wicked cherub flying off his pack pack. I really like this model.
The Hunter:
I believe this will be anti-air rhino. Its a cross between Vindicator Heavy Armor and a whirlwind style weapon mounted on the back. It comes with two cannons that have three barrels.
Vanguard Plastic:
I saw two separate pics one armed with TH/SS and one with a pair of Lighting claws, finally. Same Marine bodies just with some new iconography to freshen up the models.
From what I have seen so far the Marine release is going to be huge for GW. Sorry about no pics but I promised."
There was also a follow-up post:
"ANOTHER MARINE UPDATE AND NEW INFO!
Centurions:
UPDATE: Comes with a grav weapon option. I've seen a picture of the back and it is a suit that a power armor marine wears.
Chaplain:
UPDATE: Chaplain comes with helmetless option that has a bionic eye option.
Hunter:
UPDATE There’s another cannon option that looks similar to the epic version. It’s a heavy cannon option, possibly shoots missiles.
Vanguard:
UPDATE: They have options for beaky, relic blades, and a bareheaded marine w/ mohawk! The Vanguard Vets are more action oriented, think of the Blood Angels Death Company sprue.
NEW:
Sternguard plastics:
These models look pissed off, GW really captured the old grizzled look. Sternguard have a marine with bald head w/ beard and another mohawk head! The bolters also have the drum magazines. I have seen the following combi-weapons flamer, melta, and plasma. GW did an amazing job on this kit, I'm super pumped for this kit.
Tactical Marines:
The Armor has been updated will small studs, purity seals, and some new leg poses. These will mix really well with the current tactical squad. Missile launch backpack in the new tactical squad matches the devastator one with robo arm. There is a new arm set that has a marine loading a magazine into his bolter.
All Marine models have been painting in the following chapters: Crimson Fist, Iron Hands, and Ultramarines."
