And buying new kits so you can get heavy flamers, too.

What space marine player who already has as many tac marines as he or she would ever want DOESN'T have a heavy flamer bit or two that they can use to make their own though? (What I'll end up doing)

[Power Klawz]

Not really related to the forthcoming blood angels release but... the fact that they're going with an updated tac squad gives me faint glimmers of hope that they'll revisit chaos marines someday soon.

I can't wait to read the new codex! I hope they get some love from GW.

Heavy flamers on tacs would be awesome, though. One of the main issues with tacs has always been that with one special and one heavy, they're not actually much good at killing anything. Now, if only they could get 2 ccw ala Grey Hunters.

Why do I get the feeling that I'll be disappointed (but not surprised) to find I can finally get a Blood Angels specific Tactical squad box, but it still doesn't have enough shoulder pads for 10 based on the chapter badge and 10 based on a blood drop. Meaning they can't be marked up like they've been telling me Blood Angels Tactical squads are for the last 20 years.

On balance, I've decided I don't like it. Heavy flamers on basic squads has until now been the exclusive preserve of the Sororitas, and they have precious little special left to them any more.

(also if you want an extra attack on your Blood Angels tactical marines, take Assault Marines. They're Troops!)

That thing about blood drops is they're extremely easy to paint on blank shoulder pads.

What's this I heard about the Marines in this set having 32mm bases?
