For me this is an interesting chance to review the army in a broad sense, as it has been one of those armies I really wish I played for a variety of reasons, but just never have, and more or less probably never will. For a while they were everywhere, and I just didn't care to be another one of the wolfen ranks for variety's sake, but even now that those days are past I already have a marine army, and there are several other armies I'd want before the old pups.
