First Space Marine leaks arrive

Space Marine leaks have finally arrived on our shores (the first of many, I'm sure). Courtesy of A GW facebook page in Australia

 I haven't been keeping up on the rumors, so I'm actually at a loss for what I'm looking at. They appear to be a combination of Terminators, techmarines, and dreadnoughts.

Now as far as this is concerned I hope it's a joke. The head & oversized weapon all loo wrong. This looks like it could be about 2/3 the size of a Riptide, maybe bit bigger. It isn't a clear shot, but all I can see here is Robo from Chrono Trigger.

This is more like what i was expecting from a new codex. It looks like some kind of anti-air vehicle. I'm not sure what the turrets are though. Auto cannons perhaps?

More when I find it.

  1. Yeah the tank looks great the others look bad, really really bad. I was excited about this release but it looks like more heldrake/skullcrusher type junk being churned out by the design studio. I'm genuinely sad to see what GW is becoming.

    1. On the plus side, I'm 95% certain that walker is a hoax. It looks just like a Votom, here https://sphotos-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/q84/1098326_10201647459885867_1038309309_n.jpg

      That's almost identical, other than the fact someone slapped on a few Space marine bits and decals.

  2. That blurry mech in Ultramarines colors in the third pic is an ATM-09-ST Scopedog from the Armored Troopers VOTOMS anime.
