Pre-orders have been going up on Friday evening for a few months now, so something will be up for pre-order on Halloween.
Not sure why everyone seems to fixated on Blood Angels though. It's .. at best .. one vague rumour among others.
Tons of reasons actually. Oldest codex by far, rumored to be next by lords of war gaming (whos source has literally never been wrong), backed up by steve the warboss, who has also been very accurate, and hinted at in the DE codex digital edition. Definitely the dominant persistent rumor right now. And it would make sense.

Umm. That's incorrect. Lords of Wargaming did not say they would be next, just that they will be at the end of the year. (Emphasis Mine)
Spoiler:
Release Schedule Rumors - Oct 2014
A little bit of correction of the Necron rumors: They will receive a codex, but it will be in January. There will be a major change to FoC in this codex. You will also see the release of the third "End Times" book in January as well.
Here was their previous rumor bit
Tons of rumors flying around about Necrons and they are all wrong. The Necrons will only see the release of a Necron lord, no codex will be released. Also Tyranids will see the release of two large bugs. The rules for their models will be in the box like the Nagash release. This is also just a model release for the Tyranids, no codex.
Lastly the Blood angels will be released at the end of the year.
Also, Steve the Warboss is only somewhat accurate at this point and I have a feeling he's going to go downhill very soon.

End of the year means november. No codex has been released in december since 4th edition. And GW has been following a very stable 3x3 pattern, with 3 weeks of codex releases and 3 weeks of end times. Theres no reason to believe that the cycle wont continue. So if its a 3 week release we will have the book by the 22nd. Sooner if its a GK style release.
I would prefer a GK style release, because I no longer trust GW to not screw it up. I don't want a new flyer that looks like a flying coffin or whatever lamebrain idea they come up with.

We shall have to agree to disagree, I like the Stormfang - much better model than the Stormraven!

Yes, because marine with melee weapons are so out of character for a Blood Angles army
Angels.
And marines with melee weapons and unwieldy, slow suits of armor are out of character for Blood Angels.

No Codex has ever been released without models, until Grey Knight.
No 40K Edition has lasted less than 4 years, until 7th Edition.
No 40K Edition has been released without new starter box, until 7th Edition.
No 7th Edition Codex came without LoW, until Dark Eldar.
GW doesn't do stable patterns anymore.

If they drop one codex on us for Halloween and the other for Thanksgiving Day weekend they can take the month of December off, and finishthe year with strong 3rd quarter sales.
I would laugh so hard if the BA got to pilfer a Stormfang Gunship and renamed it the Bloodfang.
Now, we like big books. (And we cannot lie. You other readers can’t deny, a book flops open with an itty-bitty font, and a map that’s in your face, you get—sorry! Sorry!)

Adepta Sororitas...............
Technically, they got a book in 6th edition. It was just digital only.
It was updated after 7th edition dropped, so it's basically a 7th edition codex.
What? Apetpa Sororitas was released before the final 'Games Day' (now Warhammer Fest) around the same time as Sentinels of Terra andthe fantasy Dark Elves. It must be nearly a year old at this point, if not over a year old.
7th edition was released earlier this year, in the summer time.
I don't mean to derail the thread but say the SoB digital dex is a 7th edition dex is a blatant lie.

I somehow doubt we'll get any entirely new units. The wolves got a flyer because they needed one, and the stormraven/talon didnt really fit. We have basically everything we need. Fast tanks, our own predator variant, assault marines as troops, 2 different variants of assault marines, super cool apothecaries, etc. All we need is a few new character models. Though i would like to see a smaller and faster dreadknight equivalent. Something sleek and gold with massive angelic wings and a big a$$ sword.
I think the Centurion platform fits Blood Angels just fine. I'd like to have them seeing as how I bought a set of 3, and the Stormtalon which is already built and painted up as a Blood Angel flyer. I understand we have the Baal Predator, and a freagin' cool Dreadnaught weapon, but the other new bits would be great too!
Really excited to see what happens with BA's and Necrons. Guess I'll hide and watch.
