Dark Angels Rumor Roundup

[Alex Knight]

Back of the new Dev box. Why would they have the 'Eavy Metal team paint it up in DA colors if it won't be an option? Guess we're getting Grav Guns.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

To be fair it was pointed out a page or two back that box art isn't always a good indication of legal choices; on the other hand, I think it'd be completely insane for grav weapons not to be available in the new DA book. I can't see it not happening.

The Paper DAcodex has gone from the GW website here in BE, although the iPad version is still available.

[Erik Setzer]

I think they'll get it, but let's no say "The 'Eavy Metal team painted it, it must be real!" Go look at a Tactical Squad box at your local store, then tell me where a squad can have a flamer, a grav-gun (not Sergeant's combi-grav, but a trooper with a grav-gun), and a missile launcher, all in the same squad.

They also recently featured a Thanquol model in WD that was built with two censers and two warpfire throwers.

So wait until the book is out before you say it's 100%. I'd bet they get it, but right now we don't really have something to definitively say that.

[Rajden]

They updated the Devkit that includes gravs. Would be a bull**** move of GW not to allow Grav for DA.

Not that I am at all interested in grav. Lamest guns. Plasma is the DA way and you know it.

I am not really a rumour source, but this has just come through from the GW sales team;

A 160-page full colour hardback codex. The most comprehensive Dark Angels codex ever, which includes three new Dark Angels Detachments, 6 formations of and Tactical Objectives, plus Warlord Traits and Chapter Relics. This new codex gives the player the opportunity to build their own Deathwing and Ravenwing formations, from the extensive range of available miniatures.

It is a £35 Codex. Looks like Dark Angels are getting the royal treatment (at last)!

three detachments, one each for dark angels, ravenwing, and deathwing. hmm, who was it that said deathwing and ravenwing armies weren't going anywhere? let me think.

[Mr Mystery]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll have decided they're a slap in the face, a kick in the nuts and possibly a molestation of their hamster already. The whine must flow.
