About This Video

In this After Dark episode, I end up doing what I do best: man shouts at grey plastic clouds. The spark was a comment about Assault Terminators and that familiar question—how many Space Marine releases do we “need” before we’re happy? And honestly, I get why it winds people up. Marines get fed constantly, and if the rumour mill is right about another Marine codex run before 11th, it’s easy to see why Xenos and Chaos players feel short-changed. But my actual gripe isn’t “give me more toys.” It’s coherence. If Games Workshop decides “this is the new chassis size” (Terminators being the obvious example), then I think they should finish the range tied to that datasheet ecosystem—within short order. New player buys new Terminators, gets excited about claws, shields, hammers, then realises the old Assault Terminators are a totally different scale… that’s a feel-bad moment GW could avoid by just finishing what they started. We also wander into the reality of why this happens: shelf space, box sizes, sprue layouts, and the fact Space Marines bankroll a lot of the rest of the range. So yes—Marine players are spoiled. But I still think it’s fair to ask GW to “finish your codex” before dangling shiny new distractions like drop pods or half-updated lines.
