>>8648542>Do you mean you hope that they make more figures of marines from a single chapter instead of just making one marine of each chapter? So like more than 1 type of Ultramarine etc?Yes, exactly. I mean I want them to do more unique and underrepresented chapters as well, but also give us the ability to create squads that aren't just the same exact figure. Like if the assault intercessor was the only Ultramarine we got, it'd be a bit awkward to have just a squad of sergeants with the exact same weapon loadout.
I basically just want a cohesive squad of space marines on my shelf. From my understanding of 40k lore you would very rarely have a bunch of space marines from different chapters fighting in the same battle as different chapters have different specialties that account for what conflicts they get involved in.
My concern is that with each variant of the space marine figure McFarlane makes, they'll use a new chapter for a new paintjob. It's probably not a big deal for most but I'm interested in having a squad of Ultramarines or Blood Angels since that makes more sense than a mish-mash of different colours.
If McFarlane want to take this into account, I think it best that they have a pool of about 3-4 space marine chapters they choose from when making new variants of the space marine figure that they rotate with each variant. That's probably enough that you'll get one repaint in new chapter colours per variant, then change the pool of space marine chapters they use maybe every year or so as to get some unique chapters in there.
But that's probably wishful thinking if they go really hard into pumping out 40k figures.
