Has anyone anywhere around the world heard anything pertaning to the blood angels, anything, I don't care if it's false hope. Just something to keep me going

Beloved?

I like them too, but...

Anyway, please remember to put a QUESTION MARK in the title of posts in which you don't know anything new, and are asking for information.

Believe me, it will save you a lot of grief in the future...

(I'll edit this one for you!)

No

Further to my rant in the Space Wolves thread, in GW's eyes Blood Angels currently have a relatively new Codex (albeit a WD supplement), so don't expect them to be revisited in the near future. Just enjoy fielding Assault Squads as troops whilst you can

I heard somewhere that they had a new codex coming out in January. Then again, I have no idea how valid this rumor is.

My money's on "not very".

A buddy told me that everyone has a better time playing warhammer when there are lot of black, red and green marines on the tables at tournaments. I agree with him.

New codexes sooner than later please.

I heard that there might be a march realease of a codex with a new unit.Thought he may have been hammered.

There's been no confirmations of any release, so I'd pretty much ignore any of the supposed release date.

And every codex gets a new unit, so there's nothing new there either.

well, thank you all for the swift kick to the head for the realization that my Beloved Angels of Death are reduced to an article in WD. But I will soldier on for "The blood is the life, and we must live"...sorry ,got a little carried away

I would be amazed if we saw a new BA codex in January next year.

I would not be too surprised if we did see a Blood Angel codex on the shelfs next year. Eventually.

Don't hold your breath or start saving now though AFAIK.

Well, this is GW after all, so maybe you should start saving now.

Especially if it gets released after the 2010 Price Adjustment (r) (c) (tm).

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that they went as far as the WD codex. And there are some cool things in there but somehow it seems we are lacking in something. The spacedogs are getting there's, (officially, with a cover, pictures, fluff and new models for c****t sakes' ), and If I'm not mistaken we have been lacking one just as long as they have, flea infested mutts.

Haven't heard anything. I've been a Blood Angel player since I started gaming. I'd love for there to be a new codex, especially if it's along the vein of the White Dwarf list. I like that list.

i don't appreciate that half assed WD "codex". it turned 90% of the units into more expensive vanilla units without giving them any real options. i would have preferred an updated FAQ like the wolves got that just added the new chaplain rules and drop pods but kept sanguinary high priests (i had 4 modelled in my case depending on what wargear i was going to give them) and furious charge. the army is still powerful now but all your eggs are in one death co basket. supposedly the BA were the guinea pigs to see if people would buy more models in conjunction with the release of a WD codex. from what i saw, the customer $ response was proportional to the half effort put towards releasing that "codex". the BA are not kislev or kroot mercenaries...

So true. Im still hoping that they get a new codex release when space hulk comes out. (IF that ever comes out)

You mean September isn't coming?

The codex on sight is a 5th edition. it was edited.

I dont mind if it's a 5th edition rendition (hey that rhymed), but I do feel it made them into a vanilla army, On the space hulk thing, I spoke to the guys at GW in nyc and they said nothing was on the radar

Pretty much the rumor mongers are indicating that a BA codex WILL be out next year.

It was confirmed by two-or three very reliable sources at Warseer.

One recent GD, it was confirmed that SW,BA and Black Temps were all getting dexes in the next year by one of the designers.

I still can't wrap my brain around how Lord Mephiston Master Librarian of The Blood Angles Chapters mastery of the Phychic oils down to d3 extra melee attacks, a jump pack, and -1 to an enemies attacks. Those are the three crapiest Psyker powers out there.

I now use the vanilla marine rules instead of that abomination.

I can't wait to revive my Blood Angels. Return to Glory.
I so unhappy with this situation I am playing with Eldar. I won't field a different SM chapter. I don't have a problem with Space Wolves but some thier players are so arrogant or whine too much that I just want to bitch slap them with a power fist.

Dammit now I am being consumed by the Black Rage. I had buried all the emotins for my Blood Angels. I need a drink.

Oh, please.

Besides, BoLS says we're up for next year.

Fixed.

oh I wish, but I pray...I PRAY, that they keep assualt marines as troops. If not, well...life will have lost all meaning...

I hate to admit it, but I am getting excited over rumours of a new SW codex. I don't wanna collect them but...MORE PUPPEHS!!!

I think just to screw with my friends I'm going to field Blood Angels using the new Space Wolves rules when they come out.

I think that, at least, will be kept. The rest, who knows?

Well, hope they kick scouts back into troops at any rate. You can hold objectives with Assualt Marines, but not Scouts? Madness, I tell you, madness!
