Blood Angels Rumor Roundup

Hm, strength 5, I6 ap2 attacks on the charge for BA captains? Is Captain Fabuloso of the 6th company a contender now? Might end up being a very nice bargain-beatstick with ap2 for only 20 bones. Strap a jetpack on him and put him in a unit of assault marines and see what happens. I'm getting kind of interested in maybe restarting a BA army, it would be nice to have some "good guys" for a change of pace.

I'm more liking the idea of a dude rocking two warlord traits with a pair of lightning claws

So wait, are the "new" Blood Angel specific termies really a thing? Is it confirmed?

Yes, its an assault terminator box set

Heres some coroboration on the fact that GW just took razorbacks away from people.

****ing stupid GW

Did Tycho really deserve the nerf? Does his Warlord trait give Smash (my only remaining hope for him...)? List building is going to be so HQ centric now....wowzers that's a big change.... Dante might be an auto take with Sang Priest + either Chap, Meph, Furioso or additional Priest in the HQ slot.....unless multi CAD is a real thing.....

Can't help but feel that the balance/theme of all my BA lists has shifted from Elite support slots to role defining HQ choices... Curious as to how Astorath plays out as the only Recclussiarch left in the 'dex, any chance of a Recclussiarch command squad data slate, though the Marine one is regular chappy statline

I have a funny idea about tycho.

Hes by nowans good from a game perspective but hes much more like his original character and given so much of his awesome is the history behind him im ok with that provided he is priced appropriately

The new post on BoLS suggests that Assault Marine Sgts can take combi weapons + 2x SW in the squad? Is that true if so a little funny.....

Mate, it goes way beyond fire. Ever seen that mythbuster episode where they dissolve the pig?

So you are trying to create real nids in a lab then..........? Oh god.........

Also ya i forgot BA are the Melta fans :P

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.

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