Space Marines are now on the horizon, and after seeing the cover of the September White Dwarf its very much validated that they are here.
We are the slayers of kings, the destroyers of worlds, bringers of ruination and death in all its forms. These things we do in the name of the Emperor and in the defense of Mankind. Let none stay our wrath.
-Quote from the Space Marine codex 5th ed
Each week, Faeit's Rumor Tarot will take a look at what rumors came up among the myriad of games that were covered here on Faeit 212. On occasion I will be breaking any weekend developments that were discovered or revealed, so keep a watch out, for on the Faeit's Tarot, you never know what secrets there may be.

Space Marines are starting to show up on the rumor mill, and here is a great set to give us a great look at what is coming in the new Space Marine codex.

Up for release in September is the new Codex: Space Marines.
- There will be 7 Ltd Ed varients. 6 of these will be covers for First Founding chapters, whilst the 7th will have Black Templars on the cover.
- New weapon family: Grav weapons. I believe these wound against the armour save (so terminators would be wounded as if they had a toughness of 2).
- First Founding chapters will be getting a substantial section each to themselves, so hopefully this can be looked as as Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Ultramarines. This will also show in a rule called Chapter Tactics, for which the effects depend on the chapter being played.
- There is a new armour type that at first glance looks to be somewhere between a terminator and a dreadnought - looking more closely, it appears to go over the marine's power armour however.
- This new armour can be armed in 2 ways, depending on the user. The devastator version has either a bolter array or missile launchers mounted on the chest armour, whilst the gauntlets can be armed with heavy bolters, lascannons or grav cannons. The assault version has a bolter array or frag launchers mounted on the chest armour, with assault drills mounted on the gauntlets.
- There are 2 new AA tanks. One tank veterans will already be familiar with as the Hunter, armed an AA missile launcher. The other tank mounts 2 tri-barreled turrets instead.
- There is a new tactical squad. Lots of options as you'd expect, but of particular interest will probably be the grav pistol and grav rifle.
- A new plastic Sternguard veteran squad.
- A new plastic Vanguard veteran squad.
- New plastic characters: a captain, a librarian and a chaplain.
September White Dwarf Cover
Space Marines
Also from here on Faeit 212, if you were paying attention a little earlier today, I have seen the White Dwarf cover. (a very brief and blurry pic). While I wont show it here, I am sure it will appear elsewhere in short order, as it always does by the time I see things. check the following link, to see if someone has linked it somewhere.
The pic above is 2004 Games Day concept art that does very much look like the new 'dreadmarine' model on it.

I have now seen the White Dwarf cover for September (always alleged). It has 3 of the new 'Dreadmarine' models on it, and from the fuzzy looks of it, they are look rather nice. They are dressed in blue for those that care, with not rounded shoulder pads. It does not look like any heavy weapons mounted on them, but the shot is very fuzzy and hard to tell.
The Fallen Supplement
While this seems rather solid that Jeremy Vetock said it, there are other sites saying that Jeremy only said he wanted to do a Fallen Supplement. Since I obviously am not the source of the rumor and was not sitting there listening to what was being said, I can only report was told to me.

Jeremy Vetock announced at games day that there will definitely be a fallen supplement coming, however we dont know if this is for DA or CSM.
