NEW Space Marine Units Rumours?! Scars, Fists, Salamanders & More!

Summary

The video discusses unconfirmed rumors that several First Founding Space Marine chapters—the Imperial Fists, Raven Guard, Salamanders, and Iron Hands—may receive codex supplements and new models. These could include chapter-specific characters and units. The host emphasizes that nothing has been officially announced and presents his ideas as speculation based on each chapter’s identity.

Chapter-by-chapter ideas

• White Scars: A new Repulsor Bike unit could follow the release of a character riding one. The host imagines a fast, distinctive unit suited to the chapter’s battlefield style.
• Imperial Fists: A breacher squad equipped with shields and bolters would fit their siege, boarding, and ship-breaching traditions. The host also raises the possibility of a new Pedro Kantor model, noting broader rumors of attention for Second Founding chapters.
• Iron Hands: The host is unsure what would suit them best but suggests something Terminator- or Gravis-related, perhaps with heavier armor or mechanical enhancements.
• Salamanders: He argues that the chapter should first receive a model for its chapter master, Tu’Shan. For a new unit, he suggests a focus on flamers or melta weapons, possibly including a flame- or melta-equipped Dreadnought.
• Raven Guard: Possible directions include a dedicated jump-assault unit or a larger Phobos-style sniper squad. The host also speculates about a character for the Raptors, a Second Founding chapter.

The host briefly mentions other chapter-related expectations: the Dark Angels are already expected to receive something Ravenwing-themed, and there is a separate rumor about Space Wolves Dreadnoughts.

He argues that any additional Space Marine models should feel distinctive to their chapters rather than generic. His guiding principle is “rule of cool”: models should be exciting to collect and display, even as game rules change.
