Space Marines: New Tactical, and New Razorback Box


Space Marines are going to be huge, and any bits of information that we can get is fantastic. Last night we were discussing the pricing that a new tactical box could bring. Today we have a response, or some answers to the discussion.


To be honest, I had decided yesterday to get this topic going early, before the release, just because I know that it can become a hot conversation full of spite and anger, once releases are officially announced. I had figured that a quick discussion on it would beat some of the vitrol to the punch and take out some of the shock.

Of course I did not expect a response from one of our sources here on Faeit 212

Please remember that until something is officially announced, these are rumors.

Sometimes your articles really seem to poke the bees nest.

If a new tactical box was made, it would include more options than the current one and allow all things specific to tactical marines to be built. 

This box would only include 2 heavy weapons, and devastator boxes or resin direct only upgrades would need to be purchased for other heavy weapons. 

If this box was made, it would also probably be made alongside the new razorback, which is split into two variants: assault and support; where assault would come with twin-linked heavy flamers, and TL assault cannons, and the support variant would have TL heavy bolters, TL lascannon and Las/Plas options. 

The rhino kit would be discontinued since it could be made from the razorback kit. 

And IF this was done, readers of your blog would certainly rage that the tactical box went up by ~£7, despite having tons more bits and definitely spew hate that their beloved rhino could no longer be purchased and that the evil games workshop is gouging all those who just want rhinos £5.
