The Sanguinary guard have wrist mounted weapons yes. Default weapon is an Angelus Bolter, 12" S4 AP4 Assault 2 weapon, and they can chance this to a Perdition Pistol (6" melta) or a Plasma Pistol.
It's on the back right marine in both the sanguinary gaurd and Veterans pic. It looks more melterish so i suppose its probably a peradation pistoly thing

Can I just say? If you guys are going to continue doing this?
The word is Sprue, not Sprew.
And the Veteran Sergeant is quite obviously holding a hand flamer, not a combi-flamer.
I'm trying to understand this and maybe you'all can help me out. I thought one of the positive sides to taking Blood Angels was getting furious charge across the army. Now from what everyone is saying, roll a 1 for each unit before deployment and the unit gets Rage and Furious Charge. Everyone else just gets Combat Tactics. Am I missing something here or does Furious Charge now only come with a negative?
I guess the second question is is there any concept art for the Dreadnought Librarian that anyone has seen, since there doesn't seem to be a model release for it. I'll be curious to see if somehow the new plastic Venerable dread could be converted up into one . . . .
Even with all the cool new toys, I still think your going to see some of the mandatory Space Marine items in the BA list, such as TH/SH assault terminators in a Landraider, multi-melta spam to deal with everyone being mech'd up right now. Flavor it a bit with some pretty cool looking deepstriking models, fast rhinos and several Baal predators scouting in from the side of the board 12" and shooting their flamestorm cannon.

It's weird, but it's a fluff thing. Blood Angels utilise the codex astartese as a way of discplining themselfs so they don't suffer the black rage/red thirst, but some fall anyway despite this, but most don't. With Chapters like the Flesh Tearers, they promote the rage so when using a character like Seth, there's a higher chance of suffering the rage.

best I can do for the moment I'm afraid.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Yes, they are called "Blood Claws" and are actually Space Wolf initiates strapped to the wrists of veteran Blood Angels. They're 15 points per claw.
No, I don't think there's any special lightning claws. They have master crafted power swords on the Sanguinary Guard I think, but that's all.

I have a feeling Astaroth has a two-handed axe for one reason:

So Sanguinary priests - how exactly do these guys work? Are they more like commissars that are bought and attached to squads to give them FNP and other tasty stuff? Not upgrading to the special character, but what exactly do regular priests do?
So with the Librarian having the pyschic power to have preferred enemy, how much value is the chaplain really? Besides his power being able to be stopped or not happening, it just really sounds like the librarian is better for the cost and abilities.
Agree with what folks are talking about the transport/flier thing - AV12 is just too fragile in my opinion.
Baal predator - so it's being reboxed as a totally plastic kit? Any word on Furioso librarian models or upgrade sprues for the dreads?
I really can't imagine the Furioso Librarian getting a new kit that quickly, given that the third all plastic Marine Dreadnought box has just been released. As simple as it would be to do three new weapon options (RH DCCW, Force Weapon, Magna-Grapple) and a sarcophagus front with Psychic Hood, I just think that they probably have higher priorities. Can anyone really see them having 4 plastic marine dreads and no plastic Chaos one, that would make no sense.

At GWHQ, the door labelled "Making Sense" is actually the Fire Exit.

Especially when it comes to balancing out the amount of plastic kits.
If you're honestly surprised they'd put out another Marine plastic kit before a Chaos version, check their track record:
Commander Command Squad Venerable Dreadnought Ironclad Dreadnought Dreadnought Terminator Squad Terminator Assault Squad Tactical Squad Combat Squad Scout Squad Sniper Scout Squad Rhino Razorback Droppod Assault Squad Land Speeder Bike Attack Bike Scout Bike Predator Vindicator Land Raider Redeemer/Crusader Devastators
Then add in all the other chapter specific stuff(like Wolf Guard Termies and DA Vets) and compare that to Chaos plastic kits:
Terminator Lord Terminators Possessed Chaos Space Marines Bezerkers Rhino(which is just a couple new sprues) Spawn Bike Defiler Vindicator Land Raider Predator(again the last three are just marine vehicles with new sprues)
Looking at history, yeah I wouldn't be surprised at ALL if Marines got a fifth plastic dread(there's also the AoBR one, so that makes 4 current plastic Marine dreads) before Chaos got a plastic one.

I must be one of the only ones who is not sold on these miniatures at first glance, especially (the poses of) the characters. Sanguinor looks good as a miniature in a display cabinet, but now picture him on a battlefield, dangling in the air in that pose like a big golden cupid...
Not a big fan of excessive ornaments (like those wings) on models that are supposed to fight with them, so I don't know. I'll probably have to see these in person to maybe change my mind.
Well, unless my eyes deceive me (entirely possible - especially as I HOPE this is the case), a lot of the excessive bling aspect of these new models seems to be either on shoulder pads, or somewhat easily removed from greaves and such.
I do hope this is the case, as I plan on using a lot of these new releases for a Raven Guard army...
I can live with the nips, as long as schumacker doesn't run in and do some close ups of those and the ass lol.
The only thing about this evolution of the BA i'm not down with is the grails/chalices... I cannot see the point, no matter how fluffy, of running into battle with a cup.
I am tempted to convert a 'lil john marine lol.
It's not just the hand-held ones, the symbols bug me a bit too... id rather more angels/wings/blood drops than cups.
Grails and chalices have been part of the BA for a very long time, its not a new thing. Its also heavily based in the fluff, like some of the Blood Angel books. If you can stomach your way through those poorly-written novels, there is a bit of background on BA to be found in them.
There are voices within the Imperium that claim Sanguinius only lost to Horus because he got his ornamental wings stuck in one of the revolving doors aboard the corrupted primarch's battle barge.
I hope that in the background section we get "confirmation" that Sanguinius knew he was going to he death but he did so because he also knew that he would provide the opening for the Emperor to defeat Horus by damaging Horus' armor.
I think we have had hints of this in past editions, but I hope it is brought to the fore once more...
As sarcastic as I'm sure that post was supposed to be, it would make a pretty interesting explanation for why the BAs go so crazy when they have visions of his death.
