Bye Bye Marbo, We Hardly Knew Ye

NEWSFLASH!

 New 6th Edition Codex: Imperial Guard... Sorry, I meant Codex: Astra Vauxhall Hatchback (a.k.a. Millitarum) cuts out Le Soldat Marbo, it's been confirmed.

ADDDRRRIIAAANNNN

No doubt in this age of DLC (downloadable content) where GW has figured out brand new 21st century ways of making us pay for the same things we already own (sneaky), there might be a 'Catachan' supplement or codex that will allow us to legally use our old now-redundant miniature toys in these high-stakes games of plastic man-barbies..

 TINTIN! Get your blonde quiff of my gunhole!

I anticipated this last year with my proof-of-concept mockup for a new supplement/dataslate/codex featuring just a single unit one man army (no, not Imperial Knights), re-posted here for your enjoyment:

Here's snippet of the new rules for Marbo, downloaded from the future, for your reading pleasure in the here and now (yours for only £30 for a 20 page hardcover book.)
