Incoming Blood Angels

[Duke]

Any one want to venture into what "... Even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear..." means?

I thought: muliple assault/ power weapons in squads.

[wittdooley]

I thought it was interesting that they mentioned that Blood Angels would be a Dread heavy army... Maybe that is how they plan on dealing with the new Tyranid threat. Squadrons of Dreads anyone?

Duke

Wow, I sincerely hope that does not happen. Dreads are very rare by all fluff accounts, and fielding a squadron of them would make no fluffy sense. However, seeing as how they are one of the older chapters, I can totally see them having MORE dreads, and thus more variants.

I'm predicting a very Space Wolfish base pack, a few new metals (Cobulo anyone?), and, hopefully, some BA specific jump packs with fancy iconography and the like. They'll also almost assuredly do a Baal Pred add on pack (maybe IN the troop pack like Black Templars or Ravenwing?) or they could do a Blood Angels Vehicle pack that would include everything for the Baal and the Dread variants. That would be the balls.

Wahoo! I have to say that I'm extremely happy about this. My boys in red will now need to get finished. heh.

ditto. I started my BA with 5th ed and they have been the army that I just kinda visit every now and then. I'm very excited to see what the new codex has to offer.

My ultimate wish would be furious assault on the army and assault vehicle rhinos!

Sir, don't you mean 'that would be the Baals'? *incredibly lame BA pun*

I am going to be controversial but i hope they redo the Dante and Mephiston figures. Mephiston needs to be less static and Dante could just do with an update.

That isn't contreversial, I agree with you... Both models are a bit lackluster. They did mention new metal figures, I'm sure one or both will be included in that.

I hopethqt isn't the cover... I'd like to see a more vampire looking blood angel on the cover
