Blood Angels Rumor Roundup

[daboarder]

What do each of the warlords actually do, could you let us know please?
honestly that removal of RAS is pretty major, but GW have an opportunity to fix that in exterminatus so lets hope they do

Warlord Traits

Warlord gets rampage
Warlord gets +1 I
Upgrade one piece of gear to Master crafted
Warlord has Adamantium Will
Descent of Angels - Reroll ALL reserves, not just jump troops; plus the scatter reduction
12 inch fearless bubble

Dante gets Descent plus a roll on the standard Tactics table.
Gabriel has rampage.
Corbulo gets +I
Mephiston and Astorath have Adamantium Will
Sanguinor has Fearless bubble
Tycho has Rampage (both versions)

Also a subtle but imo big change is our Stormraven missiles got changes. They are no longer Str 8 ap 1. But Str 8 AP 2 - Concussive. Which is a pretty decent tradeoff imo.

cheers

Got the book myself and yes, the loss of reclusiarchs and troop assault marines are the turd to an otherwise nice book.

Feels overcrowded in the HQ and Elites now, will have to see what Exterminatus brings in the form of formations since the Battle Company is way too expensive unless your looking for an Objective Secured army with Red Thirst at 1335 before any sort of upgrades

That cheap? Glancing at it, I'd thought it couldn't be done outside of apoc or very large (2k+) standard games, but I didn't actually try to build a list.

Mephiston with Adamantium Will? Eat the darkest part of my butt.

[Blood Shadow]

Small equipment things I picked up:

Relic blades and Artificer armour + jump pack + relics + priest can build some nasty CC unit

Relics are better than what the named characters have

Loss of Master Crafted other than by chance....bit odd

Blood Talons are no longer a trade off, 10pts for shred on Str 10 is a luxury

Scouts are nice point efficient units.....

But the over arching problem is there aren't enough slots in Elite or Fast without going multi-cad

A formation which allows for 6 Elites, 2 Troops, 6 Fast would be nice...

we get relic blades now? ok nice but almost two editions after they we're super awesome

[Blood Shadow]

There's always the AP2 Relic!
