It'll bum me out if the special figs in this box will be limited too, since that captain could be neat and it'd suck if there was no easily available plastic Broodlord. Considering Stormclaw and the first edition of Dark Vengeance it wouldn't surprise me if that's the case, unfortunately.

There's (sadly) no reason to believe that they won't be limited. The Stormclaw minis were limited, so these ones will probably be limited as well.

Of course they will, tomorrow is Monday!

Those sneaky White Dwarf leakers always leak a poorly framed, out of focus shot with no further info on a Monday!

Earthquakes always happen on Mondays. That's a geological fact.

here's hoping. Ideally, I would rather the box had an Assault Squad or Vanguard Veteran Squad. I love me some jump packs. Still, Terminators are fluffy when it comes to fighting Tyranids.

I am curious what the Captain's loadout is going to be. Too bad he isn't a Reclusiarch instead.

Inconceivable!

Death Company have jump packs.

That they do. But I want MOAR jump packs. I do have a five man squad of unpainted Assault Marines that will undoubtedly end up being painted as Blood Angels now. Hopefully the codex will allow BA to take two flamers per squad like C:SM marines can. If not, it isn't that hard to change him to having a bolt pistol.

That's the sister's from the story tempestus in the shield of baal novel.

That aside i want all of that box set. I just so happen to need about 90% of it.

Agreed, as both a Tyranid player and Blood Angels player this is a big win-win for me. If those savings are true then I will need to order more than one.

Not that I need a 7th Carnifex, more than 50 Genestealers, a 4th Broodlord or 16 Tyranid Warriors... but yeah, I kinda want this set anyway. I might just ebay the Broodlord character.

Felwether got the new White Dwarf and posted on Warseer

White Dwarf just arrived. The Deathstorm box is €100. Karlaen looks pretty cool, he's got a storm bolter and thunder hammer and a cool iron halo built around a chalice. I'll try to get some pics up later on.

White Dwarf also mentions new 32mm round bases for release which is weird.

Perhaps most interestingly, the Next Week section has the line "On deadly wings they come". Codex next week?

Well, it looks like Karlean is a terminator captain. I guess I am okay with that. Looks like I Will be building the Chaplain I am getting as a Reclusiarch for BA instead of a Chaplain for Crimson Fists.

Getting tired of refreshing. Someone post pics please

Felwether is still busy at work it seems

Nothing on 4chan, etc yet

Finaly sone news...

Pics are up - thanks to Felwether on Warseer

Neat!
I can always use another Chappy in Terminator armor.

Ah, good. Not very fussed about that captain at all, my wallet is visibly relieved.

I'd be tempted to grab the rulebook on ebay though, just because it has a blood angel on it, and that's cool.

This is really great news.
BA before Christmas. Happy hunting.

Not entirely convinced by that captain.

Its an unflattering angle that is for sure.

Still think I'll wait until we get the actual BA release, I have termies and DC already.

I'm digging it. Very excited ooo yes.

D

Hmm.. that Captain is...okay.

Not as cool as the Broodlord.

I guess the cover also answer the question about whether it's assault or shooting terminators.

I really wanted assault :(

At first I was like - yeah! Gotta make it a tight month! Gotta squeeze through for this!

And now, having seen the BA captain....eh. It doesn't pop out to me. Certainly not like the Space Wolf or Ork did. The Broodlord is nice but I have two already.

Yeah, my wallet is being eased away from this.

Might be better to take my money, get a softback reprint of Leviathan and the BA codex.

I seriously don't need more of what is offered. Yeah, my Flesh Tearers don't have Terminators and currently have a single dread...but we don't need more DC. And my Tyranids don't need any more of what is offered.

The captain is a bit meh. I think if the Iron Halo was lowered to sit on top of the armour with the chalice going through the middle of it, it'd look better. Also looks like they copy pasted most of Sergeant Lorenzo from Space Hulk

Huh. It does. But Lorenzo is actually a lot more fancy than this.

Explains the similarities of the Broodlord as well.

True. It also looks like this captain gets a rather badass looking bionic eye when you compare it to some of the crap other guys get stuck with lol.

That captain has blunted my excitement. He doesn't stand up to either of the storm claw character sculpts.

Maybe I'll flip a coin on Friday.
