Blood Angels Rumor Roundup

[Houghten]

Go ahead and take away terminators as troops from Dark Angels.

I dare you GW.

Thats what they've done to BA and thats why I'm upset.

They will, you know. DA are going to lose Troop Wings, Eldar are going to lose Troop Wraithguard and Farsight is going to lose Troop Suits. Orks were just the first in line.

Are you sure it's not a slightly more commercial viewpoint from GW? Most BA players don't need any more assault marines, so they'd only sell maybe 1 kit per player for bits if they released a new Assault box and kept them as troops.. However if they bring out a specific BA tac box and then make tac squads the only real troop option.. 2+ boxes for most BA players. They really don't seem to care about fluff and balance if it means people are spending less.

First glance Dante and a Jump upgraded Sang Priest seem beastly added to any unit in Assault.

First glance Dante and a Jump upgraded Sang Priest seem beastly added to any unit in Assault.

A 10 man squad of Sang Guard, with two fists, and 2-3 Axes. With the rest swords and lead by a Jump Librarian or Priest honestly sounds downright scary. Throw in a banner if you want. But between 40 Angelous Bolter shots and their power weapon I5 Str 5 charge, most units they approach are going to disappear.

Not to mention pretty tough to remove with a 2+/5+

[Blood Shadow]

Winners and Losers as I see it:

BA Captains - relics, Warlord traits, relic blades, artificer armour... These guys just became everyone's best friend, WS 7 Int 6 Str 5 2+ 4++ with two decent warlord traits is pretty nasty.
Chaplains - these assaults HQs whilst at first appear nerfed in the HQ slot are bringing rerolls to hit to things like+1WS +1Int FC LC BA Termies... Not to be sniffed at... Astorath or Lemartes on DC are pretty decent still too
Sanguinary Guard - Fear, 10 man squads, +1A banner at +1Int are plenty lethal
Mephiston - CentStars new BF, free 12" move yes please.... Hitting on 2+ Str10 FW....hmmm... Also a great Psychic shutdown unit with PsyH, AW and Lvl3
Scouts - Camo cloaks, FC, HF HBs... Str5 on the charge... +1 WS +1Int... F'n'P?
Fast Tanks again great for Tempestus allies
Sang Priest: now not a must take, but decent enough buff...
Assault Terminators...The Boss is a BA and wearing TA, probably in a Storm Raven
Sternguard with HF in a drop pod... You got my attention, do I charge into the wall of death or face Str5 Int5 next turn?
Librarians - now cheaper... But will you take one over everything else?

Losers:
Blood Talons... Waste of time especially on DC dread
Fast Attack Slot....oh boy...I could fill this with 3 of every option...and want to take all of them
Vanguard Vets... A must take said nobody ever..competing with DC and Sanguinary guard...there's never a reason to take them...
Assault squads... Now in a tight fast attack slot...inferior to scoring DC in everyway...why would you take these...just infiltrate more scouts

Here's the archangel detachment.


Real shame, terminator armour compulsory on characters, so no running them in vanguard squads

Also means that we're down a potential detachment for jump armies (heres hoping for the 2nd Co or FT detachments to help)

that sucks, right FOC but the limitation of TDA just kills it. and wouldn't the 1st company have marines that fall to the Curse also. would have figured at least 1 DC squad.

P.S. No sanguinary priests also. oh well.

As soon as you fall you join the DC, they are separate from all companies and so would not feature in a 1st company formation.
