Blood Angels rumor from B&C

Scorcher505 · 09-10-2009, 16:20

The following was posted at B&C this morning in a rumor thread about a new codex. I did not post this there, just taking it from there and reposting it here:

Quote here we go:

-The BA 'dex is DONE and complete already.

-New conversion kits similar to the ones made for the space wolves. These kits are said to be EXTRAORDINARY (I mean.. beautiful!), with a level of detail similar to that of the models in space hulk (or even better). (PS this seems quite certain, it has been confirmed by my local GW seller, who also stated some big news about BA may be revealed at the italian games day).

SOME informations about the rules

-The codex will allow the player to field a top notch assault army: assault squads will be a troop choice, with options similar to those of the new gray hunters in the SW dex: 2Xspecial weapons and no heavy weapons at all (of course). Sergents will be similar to those of the SM dex (more options: tunder hummer, LC and such).

- a psionic power called "vortex of blood", or something like that, will give the caster a CC attacks bonus equal to the number of models in base contact (or even in combat radius?! but it would be too powerful..)

-New indipendent characters.

I can't assure these rumors are true, of course. I just TRIED to translate them in english and posted them here.

Ah, date of release: march, after the tyrs.

Thoughts?

if true sounds good. and if the plastic are like the SW kit nice one GW

Scorcher505 · 09-10-2009, 16:27

I am a Blood Angel player, and as much as I want to believe this, it just does not seem to be true. But the Italy Games Day is just over a week away so we will see

verydarkshadow · 09-10-2009, 16:30

Well, at GDUK the designers did say that we "hadn't seen anything yet" as far as Space Marine releases were concerned. So this news makes sense to me. Sounds promising in any case.

Harry · 09-10-2009, 16:35

Blood Angels are only half the story.

Scorcher505 · 09-10-2009, 16:42

That sounds like an angels of Death confirmation, or Blood Angels plus something else. Harry to the rescue once more!

The Judge · 09-10-2009, 16:43

Half the story as in half the codex (the other half, logically, being DA) or simply half the Marine releases next year?

Argh intrigue

Codex Angels of Death does make sense with the 2nd Edition smell the new codices have at the moment!! I'll be bloody happy if this turns out to be the case!

Raibaru · 09-10-2009, 16:47

The discussion about the DA in the UK09 thread would lead me to believe it isn't another Angels of Death codex unfortunately. Plus I don't know if I'd be happy or pissed about such news.

Would be a shame to see the only 'special' Space Marine chapter that isn't heavily focused toward assault be crammed into a combo book like in second edition.

On the other hand, DA have horrid rules and really wouldn't require much to make them more enjoyable either.

FerociousBeast · 09-10-2009, 16:58

As a disgruntled Dark Angel player, we don't have horrid rules, just boring and old fashioned.

I do not believe Harry's comment means Angels of Death. Everything we've heard up til now has discounted that. Must be something else!

verydarkshadow · 09-10-2009, 17:01

Dark Templars? I believe their codex will be the oldest after BA are released.

Edit: Whoops! Of course I mean, they'd be the oldest Marine codex.

>>

... no offence to Dark Eldar players.

S_A_T_S · 09-10-2009, 17:07

Black Templars may be the oldest of Space Marines, but when are the Dark Eldar getting re-done?!?! My first army was Blood Angels, I'd love to see them be redone, and I'm afraid if they are it will actually make me spend more cash redoing my entire force, repainting everything, and even buying a proper case to keep them in instead of cardboard boxes, but DEAR GOD, stop with the marine codicies! Redo Necrons! Redo Dark Eldar! They actually NEED it! BA have a 'codex' that will keep them going for a bit.

rabblerouser · 09-10-2009, 17:11

I look forward to seeing those kits. Now if only they had stuff like this for smurfs :S

Prodigalson · 09-10-2009, 17:14

I have a hard time believing that it is an Angels of Death... but I sure do wish it was true. They did sort of redo the blood angels at the same time as the DA's last time, so it's not IMPOSSIBLE that it is both... that simply would be... very surprising. GW isn't known for fixing poor codexes, they should tell you to suck it up for five-eight years.

On the other hand Harry didn't say that that was half of the new marines coming out, he said that was Half of the Story. That makes it sound like blood angels are only half of the march release. I can't imagine them doing Black Templars in the same codex as Blood Angels. Dark Angels... yes... I mean... blood and dark aren't THAT different from Codex Marines.

Guess we will see. Facinating rumor.

Cheers for the rumour, but my main thought is

Quote assault squads will be a troop choice

NooooOOO!OOOOOO!!!! Why? That's just very, very wrong.

Blood Angels don't have any more Assault Squads in the Chapter than the Ultramarines, or Imperial Fists, or Iron Hands. But if they stay as Core, proper Blood Angel armies based around tactical squads will be relegated to history apart from a handful of players who care about the fluff.

Cygnusmaximus · 09-10-2009, 17:21

Given that Dark Angels already have a few spiffy plastic upgrade sprues, I could see them doing a "Codex: Angels of Death" once again. Make most of the releases Blood Angels, toss in a few new metals for the Dark Angels (and whet their appetites with a huge, chapter-specific terrain piece) and GW could ensure that all the power-armoured fanboys have a happy 2010.

orkz222 · 09-10-2009, 17:22

Nice to know BA having a codex, since my gaming friend play them.

Pie man is teasing us

Evil-Termite · 09-10-2009, 17:23

It seems a little odd to me that it would come out in March only 2 months after Tyranids come out. However, they only came out with 2 codexes this year so i can see GW wanting to get out three next year.

I'm excited for Assault marines to get special weapons. And wouldn't it be nice if they get priced a little nicer too...
