All looks very nice to me, BA successor chapter gone traitor, that would be "Knights of Blood" wouldn't it ?

[Gwhizz84]

Could be Lamenters as well, no one seems to know what happened to them after the tyranids nommed on most of em. KoB were kinda confirmed to be heretics beforehand

[Deadlift]

I thought Lamenters were on a penance crusade to prove their loyalty. Could be that they got ****ed off with that and turned. To be fair anyone of them is a candidate .

[Defenestratus]

Does "all weapon options" mean both assault and standard load outs are possible from a single box?

[daboarder]

Man I really dont want my angels updated yet.....I love my priests

Also wasn't steve totally off about DE

[Erik Setzer]

So let me get this straight...

Logan becomes LOW, gains a nifty chariot and is an all-around badass.
Mephiston becomes LOW, becomes a super-psyker.
Ghazghkull becomes LOW, loses his invulnerable save.

Don't forget:
Vect doesn't become LOW, is removed from the book entirely, and no LOWs at all for DE.

These rumors make sense, and sound plausible. New Assault Marines are fitting, and new Dred kit would be nice, if only to finally get those missing weapon options (hopefully plug and play compatible with the Ven Dread kit)

Terminator box as in BA specific terminators, or a redone generic Terminators with all the weapons in one kit instead of two separate boxes?
New Captain? Maybe Tycho's replacement?

[Deadlift]

Next month sees some Black Library Flesh Tearers releases, Sons of Wrath and Trail by Blood. Could be inline with the rumours above.
