Blood Angels Rumor Roundup

[daboarder]

Do JP now scatter 2D6".....only just thought about that and am now hyperventilating.....!!??!!

yes we no longer have army wide Decent of Angels, Dante and certain warlords may or may not change this (I think its far more likely that just their squad wont scatter)

- - - Updated - - -

The one thing to remember is that most Blood Angels players will be using the Ball Arms Detachment (BAD) rather than the CAD, so it really doesn't matter that we have to buy our razorbacks as Heavy Support. I can't remember the last time I used up all my Heavy Support slots. Now, if they were Fast Attack or (Emperor have mercy) Elite, it'd be a bummer.

Well the rumour is that the razors are a fast slot (so yes compete with the very unit you'd put in them.)

Also, by limiting them to FA or HS (whichever it ends up being) you practically remove the abillity for anyone to use more than 3, when many people likely own 4-6 this is unacceptable

I'm a bit out of the loop here, and glancing through my 7th Edition book I can't seem to find it. But what exactly is Ball Arms Detachment?

A detachment option specifc to the upcomming Blood angel book

Mandatory: 1 HQ, 1 Elites, 2 Troops, Optionals :1 HQ 3 Elites 4 Troops 3 Fast Attack 3 Heavy Support

The bonus is +1I on the turn units charge into combat and re-roll warlord trait from the BA codex list

Can someone who can read spanish have a look at the pictures in the above link, lots of info


Well there is Decent, looks straight outta the 5th ed codex. So dante is mandatory Warlord if you want a drop list, because no way in hell is rolling for a list strategy a good idea

I am actually kinda surprised at the change of reducing Dedicated Transport options since It felt like Space Wolves got Stormwolf flyers as an option for nearly every unit, part of me had expected to see more options of using a Stormraven as such.

It's actually called the Baal Strike Force, but Baal Arms Detachment sounds cooler. And also it lets us use the acronym BAD. As opposed to CAD (Combined Arms Detachment) or AD (Allied Detachment) or HAD (Hive-fleet Arms Detachment - also not it's real name).

I dunno EP, BSF sounds cool too

Eh. It's ok. I like things that rhyme. CAD, AD, BAD, HAD. Whee!

So much info in here...

The BA Company formation is freaking me out, it would appear Capt., Chap, 6x Tact, 2xAssault, 2x Dev, DC, DCD as a formation, everyone gets the +1 Int on the charge, and it appears EVERYONE gets objective secured....that sounds like a lot of points though...

Edit: no after rereading just the Troop units...so not that good

Edit: scouts seem awesome now! They can get sniper rifles for 1pt pm, they can take Hellfire rounds with their HBs...and can be Str5, Int5 on the charge add a priest and these guys are going to tear it up..... With what seems like a locator becon for 10/15 point....

Edit: Razorbacks are dedicated Transports for Tactical Marines, can't see anything about Marines taking CCW. Though looks like they can have two SW instead of a Heavy.
Sanguinary Guard now get DM at 1pt per model, other options are the same as before, no dedicated transports.

Edit: there's something odd about that Furioso entry.... No psychic power option, it's a standard Venerable type....perhaps Furioso Librarian has a separate entry?

Edit: DC seem to have gone up by 9pts per model! Really??!

Edit: Vanguard Vets 19pt per model.... Come with 2xUSR no idea what they are, probably the one to do with challenges...the other no idea?
