Space Marine Codex SUPPLEMENTS Rumours! I now BELIEVE!

Summary of Main Points

1) Rumored “Codex + Chapter Supplements” for First Founding chapters

• The presenter says earlier rumors suggested that, in the 11th edition, Games Workshop would release a new Space Marine Codex, alongside dedicated Codex supplements for First Founding chapters.
• They claim new “evidence” supports this: after the recent Space Marine Codex release, the GW app was updated and shows Codex supplements attached, with an example shown as Imperial Fists.
• They theorize these supplements would be released digitally, likely accompanied by:
  • new army data/points/legality content (“rules”)
  • potentially a “digital announcement” model similar to how GW handles expansions for other armies (they mention the Legion of the Damned as an example of this digital approach).

2) Sequence and which chapters might be next

• They reiterate a rumor that the first supplement would be Raven Guard (which they personally found surprising).
• They suggest the next likely ones would follow a pattern including White Scars, Salamanders, Iron Hands, and potentially others such as:
  • Crimson Fists
  • “Raptors” (another possibility)

3) What might come with these supplements (models, units, characters)

• The presenter argues GW will want to monetize these expansions and therefore may add new physical releases, such as:
  • dedicated HQs or chapter-specific characters
    • they complain some chapters lack recent character models, citing Salamanders and Chapter Master Tucu(n) as an example they want represented
  • or dedicated units with chapter flavor, including examples like:
    • Imperial Fists boarding/breachers
    • White Scars repulsor bikes
    • Salamanders “flamy” units
    • Raven Guard sniper/jump-style units
    • Iron Hands heavy Terminators
• They also suggest suspected chapter characters may tie into the rumored releases, referencing:
  • Pedro Kantor-type connections
  • Severus / “Gabriel Seth”-related naming (and mentioning Pedro Kantor as a rumor)

4) Other upcoming Space Marine-adjacent releases (Kill Team → full refresh)

• They pivot to say other factions (non-space-marines) have major updates coming:
  • Grey Knights refresh is expected to start with Kill Team content
    • they reference a Grey Knights vs Thousand Sons Kill Team rumor
  • Blood Angels are also expected to get more content
• They estimate Grey Knights and Blood Angels next year, arguing GW will keep the momentum due to money-making cycle expectations.

5) Criticism: removal of units from “Legends” / rules access (annoyance + examples)

• After the Space Marine Codex update, the presenter says the Legends tab changed and some units were removed, which they strongly dislike.
• They give examples of units losing their 40k rules entirely (not just being moved to “Legends”):
  • Stormbird
    • they claim it disappeared from 40k rules and cannot even be used as a proxy in 40k
    • they emphasize the cost and time spent building/painting it
  • Fellblade
    • they say it was removed from Legends rules, even though the kit is new in plastic
    • they claim it can still be played “as” an Estre(lle)us, but the original unit’s own rules are gone
    • they compare this unfavorably to the Fal(ian) remaining in Legends
  • Leviathan Dreadnought
    • they claim it is gone from the current Legends options as well
• Broader complaint: GW is “taking away toys,” removing fun and cool options, and doing it in a way that undermines narrative play and collector investment.

6) Expectation of long-term power/nostalgia monetization

• They suggest removed units may eventually return later (or be replaced with new rules), potentially as part of a nostalgia monetization strategy.
• They connect this to other vehicle rumors (e.g., Rhino / Predator / Land Raider), implying GW may be preparing new cycles for those platforms.
