They can't bring the old razorback back, it was based on the old Rhino. Aside from the heavy bolters and lascannons, a model only existed for the old lasgun-and-plasmas config.

Giving them assault cannons and/or heavy flamers would be adding insult to injury, though. Is there ANYTHING that the Space Marines cannot excel at?

Varied Troops choices?

You mean the fact they have 2 trooop choiches?? there are cidices that do not have 2 you know, like necrons. INHO even Tau, because I do not like kroot al that much.

From those 2 types you can make a variety of multipurpose squads. Like marine antitroop or tank, but also ranged scouts (snipers), cc scouts (bp+ccw) or medium ranged scouts (bolters and possibly a heavy).

I think that those are at least 4 fairly different options (marines are marines, regardless of support, so I do not count them as 2 choiches.)

all in all, I think they do have varied troopchoiches...
