Venerable Dreadnaught:
WS and BS 5 (ouch), with most of the Dreadnaughts Basic Weapons options

Basic Dreadnaught Stats with front and Side armour 13.
- Probably comes with a Heavy Flamer rather than a Storm Bolter

start at 4 marines and a Vet sarge for 85 points, the each marine is 16 points after that.
- Must take a Veteran Sergeant

- may be an option for Teleport Homers.
- Their Heavy bolter can take hellfire Rounds

- Probably will drop to 35 points ala Dark Angels and Blood Angels.
Razorback:
- Rumours of more Turret options including Assault cannons (i know, i know...but i do admit that it does sound cool)
- Perhaps the return of the old Lascannon and Twin Linked Plasma gun?
Drop Pod:
- Drop pod assault means that Half of all Drop pods come in on the First turn (GW doesnt want Deep striking armies to come on turn 2 or later...understandable)
