Try and think of it from a product perspective. The only real thing they can do for DA at this point involving product is making multi-part plastic Deathwing. Everything else is already in place and Looks quite frankly amazing. The DA chapter upgrade box is amazing, and honestly cannot be improved upon. The ravenwing squad is already multi-part plastic. As well as the land speeder. So honestly at this point i cannot think of any "new" product for DA the stack the shelves with and sell in bulk.

The same CANNOT be true for BA however.
I can see a possible:
New Baal Pred model
New Death Company models
Plastic BA upgrade set
Plastic BA Honor guard

I'd assume a plastic boxed set like this:
5 BA Honor Guard w/
1 DC bitz set
1 Rhino / Razorback / Pod "flat" bitz set
+ *lots* of extra upgrade bitz for Tac / Dev / Assault

That way, GW sells 5 dedicated BA Honor Guard, similar to 5 DA Veterans / 10 SW Pack, but takes care of all of the secondary bitz at the same time.

It also might be important to note that a BA codex release in march seems unlikely now as we have received an e-mail discussing the new mission book in march.

Well, I'm confident that the new codex will be fine
if written by Kelly or Cruddace, just as long as its non-jervisified.

Personally I'm looking forward to the Blood Angels to see what challenges I face!

It would be so AWESOME if Phil writes the codex. Seeing that supposedly Cruddace has written the new bug codex I doubt he will pin the new BA one as well. Hopefully it won't be Matt Ward...

My fingers are crossed and I have my lucky rabbit's foot. Maybe Alessio has taken some well deserved time off from writing the new FAQs?
