In honour of the OP, i'm going to go with a classic that i've had saved on my hard drive for many a year now:

Unlike the Blue Space Marines, the Red Space Marines flip ALL THE TIME! When they’re not dressing in gold body suits or exchanging bodily fluids with their brothers they’re just flipping out and running forward screaming. Sometimes some of them do a total flip out and become Super Black Red X Space Marines. Super Black Red X Space Marines have SUPER POWERS! – Sneak Preview of Codex Red Space Marines

Cheers!

And right back at you

**Accolade**

Man, those Super Black Red X Space Marines sound rad!! I may have to buy a box (or three)!

This just in!

Codex Blood Angels will be the most detailed codex in GW history with complete individual profiles and portraits of all 1000 Blood Angels!

From Brother Tamancha who forgoes carrying frag grenades to carry 3 additional bolter clips, to Brother Sonaa who carries only 2 clips but brings an extra combat knife, this book has it all!

Whether you want to know about Brother Challna's wounded knee or Brother Jaiye's fear of spiders Codex Blood Angels has you covered!

But that's not all! A massive 18-page fold out chart details how each and every Blood Angel interacts with every other one with rules and random charts for whenever they get withint 12" of each other. Will Brother Kali's ongoing rivalry with Brother Jaice spur them to new heights of greatness? Or will the unresolved tension between Brothers Panch and Char hurt morale?

The same day will also see the release of the Dataslate Engines of Baal which covers each and every vehicles in the BA motorpool from the cracked left fender on the Rhino Sandals of Sanguinius to the overcharged turbo laser on the Thunderhawk Angel's Wings!

Rumor has it another dataslate will cover each weapon in the arsenal so now you can choose which bolter to give which marine! Will Brother Sonaja benefit from the improved accuracy of the bolter "Seraphim's Roar" or will the machine spirit of "Blood Fang" suit him better? You decide!

To make this possible, the codex will get rid of most named characters. Cause why would you need named characters when everyone is allready unique?!

A little from Column A, a little from Column B if you went to the Images section.

To be fair that character was the only one in ff7 I liked

....these are meant to be BAD things that could happen not awesome!

**adamsouza**

Blood Angel Codex will be realeased 2 weeks after the Shield of Baal campaign box set, the one with the mini rule book and miniatures, not the hardcover book set.

**Smacks**

I heard Captain Tycho is going to get 3rd variant: "already dead Tycho"...

Already dead Tycho™ can ~~be dumped out of~~ deepstrike out of an orbiting Thunderhawk, or any flyer (including land raiders). He has the DoA special rule (dead on arrival), so he is unaffected by difficult terrain, although he does treat any result as "dead". He comes with two dead man's hands, and also his dead man's hand special weapon. He doesn't really do much except be dead, but at 125 points he is quite cheap. He should prove very useful for those players who can't quite afford Death Company Tycho, but still would like to give their opponent a free kill point.

**Kelne**

My, this takes me back.

Good to see you're still at it, Kyoto.

**Kid_Kyoto**

OK, my inside man brought me this scoop which he tells me is going to break the internet into 1/64ths and then those 1/64th are going to break into 1/64th and then the resulting 4096 piece of the internet are going to burst into FLAME!

So be careful if you choose to click here!

Spoiler:

**Paradigm**

The worst bit of that? If falling to Chaos lets Dante (or Astorath for that matter) swing at Initiative, hello Khorne!

**Toastaster**

You can no longer play Blood Angels with regular Space Marine allies as they're scared that they'll be dragged into their codex. Where they should be.

**adamsouza**

Because women are irresistabley drawn to good looking bad boys, and all Blood Angels have angelic good looks and dark side, the Adepta Sororitas will be folded into the Blood Angels codex.

Adepta Sororita Command models will now have form fitted golden armor with nipples.
Seraphim will now have Blood Angel style winged jump packs. There will be a new Troop choice consisting of up to 10 marines and 5 sisters.
All Blood Angel vehicles will have small fleur de lys symbols added to them, and they aren't really certain how they got there, they just showed up after the sisters did.

**Happyjew**

This just in:

The new Blood Angels now *sparkle*.

Furthermore, they can no longer ally with Space Wolves, until the Adepta Sororitas decide which Chapter they want to ally with.

Glorious

**adamsouza**

Come on man, our women all forced us to see Twilight by now, the Sisters choose Blood Angels.

The new codex includes a mission for Space Wolves Vs. Blood Angels so you can recreate the epic moment when the sisters finally made up their mind

Late breaking news!

Blood Angels will henseforth require a new, propreitary base size that is not compatible with any 3rd party's bases and is available only from GW directly and...

No.

Wait.

I'm sorry, I forgot this thread is only for false rumors.

**Accolade**

HA!!

**SilverDevilfish**

Rejoice everyone, the codex will be in the new unbound format. No not that excellent way to add various forces to your army.

The book will come loose in plastic shrink wrap, and retail for $45 dollars USD, what great savings!

We will also release a Citadel Binder™ (yes we're trademarking the word binder), that you can use to contain this awesome deal. It will be made of all the melted Finecast we have left over and retail for $120 USD, what a deal!

Edit: Dammit 1 key

**Midnightdeathblade**

The red marines sometimes ally with the blue marines, when this happens, both marines turn purple! But most of the time they fight each other for 13 seasons on youtube!

You are clearly not one of our women then

Forgot to add a rumor..

GW has taken soo long to release the Blood Angels that Mantic has produced an amy, legally different, but completely compatible with the Blood Angels rules. The models will retail for 50% of the cost of GW models and will be funded entirely by a massively successful Kickstarter campaign, These models will take 8 months to produce, and by then GW will have released a Blood Angels codex and entirely new model line to suppor them.

**TheCustomLime**

The Red Marines Tactical Squad will have their costs reduced to 12 ppm! Yay! But now they only come equipped with Bolt Pistols and Power armor. Bolters and Frag/Krak Grenades have to be purchased at 3 and 2 ppm respectively.

**Torga_DW**

A new writer has taken over for the blood angels, and his favourite colours are orange and lavender. Henceforth, the blood angels colours were always orange and lavender. They now have always had a predilection for ranged combat, shunning melee as barbaric and pointless. Their special unit was always the thunderfire cannon and the landspeeder storm, which they can squadron in the new codex. Note: blood angels may no longer field stormravens or any form of flier.
