Why does Games Workshop hate blood angels?

[fuzzbuket]

HOW TERRIBLE TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE 6th ED CODEX. WHAT A SHAME.

GW hates the BA fluff and thats about it.

I love it when Marine players start b!tching about being hard done by. You can almost cut the sense of entitlement steaming off them with a knife.

Yeah, because Tyranids are so obviously loved by Games Workshop that they have a supremely balanced codex with lots of great units to....er..arh...err.....

You don't see me complaining that Genestealers can no longer assault from Outflank, or that Overwatch and random charge length screws up half my assaults, simply because there are always positives to balance the negatives. Tervigons and Termagants are amongst the best Troops choices you can take when used properly, and flying Hive Tyrants with brain-leech devourers are a blessing in an edition where flyers are common. Not to mention Harpies, Zoanthropes and the like are more viable than they were before.

So Blood Angels lost some stuff and can't run assault armies as well anymore. What else do you get? You still have a lot of mobile, effective firepower in an edition where mobile, effective firepower is king. You have versatile Librarians and some of the best Dreadnoughts you can get. Not to mention, that unit you supposedly lost - but in fact still have - is always a great choice as far as flyers go. Trust me, you aren't the only codex that has changed a lot with 6th Edition, for better or worse.

Im a BA player and i dont see why people are complaining about are dex. I should state now that i haven't used them in a while, all though i have used them in 6th. They aren't that bad, they are still marines after all. Yes i preferred FC being +1I bit o well and yes i would of liked the storm talon in return for toys borrowed but once again o well. Can we please all now stop complaining about how the BA have been hard done by ( insert charity appeal music ) lets all think of those worse off then are selves, by this i mean eldar,black templars and my beloved tau. And breathe rant over. Go back to what you are doing.

Sorry EG, but you're just as bad when you feel a perceived Eldar/DE slight. May I remind you of the whole nightwing saga?

That's my point. Some armies are genuinely* screwed over constantly, Marines are not. I mean Blood Angels took the eldar niche of the fastest army when their book came out for heavens sake but apparently that isn't enough.


*Tyranids, eldar and to some extent Tau spring to mind.

FWIW, I'm not upset that other armies stole my toy.

I'm upset that I lost Skies of blood.

That was a genuinely unique thing that I actually used quite often.

... you're upset that the name got changed? I didn't see any changes from the last version to the current one.

This is what I get for getting information 2nd hand. I was led to believe that they lost the rule completely. It was just renamed.
