I would say so, there are plenty of things in the Blood Angels Codex that simply make my skin crawl.

The way some posters are going on how OP BA are, you'd think their opponents were using spooge after a hearty reading of a wet dream wankdex...

You're *WALKING* them from your board edge? Really?

Auto-win for the Demolishers! Good Job!

I figured you were a least DSing them so they'd be closer to the action and only risk the one round of shooting before they get stuck in. 3 Plates = 1 HIT on all 12, 2 scatters (1 long, 1 short).

Regardless of whether you walk or DS, I get a least 2 turns of lobbing S10 AP2 shots at other stuff before I have to even think about dealing with those Termies.

Where did he said the Termies walked from the board edge?
How do you get 12 hits with one blast when there's only 11 models in the unit? (10 Terminators + 1 Sanguinary Priest)?
Why wouldn't the unit run and scatter before you shoot at it (they have no shooting weapons anyway)?

I think those vindies would do little damage to the termies. If you actually managed to kill some, they would do alot more dagame against something else.

Now they are sparkly vampires who just use the gear of space marines while they fly around with magical psychic dreadnoughts, with meltapistols on every sergent, flying land raiders, nipple-armor, sanguinary sanguine priests who inspire the sanguine guard to fight sanguinarily for the sanguintastic primarch sanguinious, who oddly enough, forces his champions to wear nipple armor while trying to drink the blood of their foes. Oh, and the one sparkly vampire who decided to NOT drink blood somehow becomes a super-saiyen who refuses to play nicely with others.

a similarly sarcastic arguement can be made for Space Wolves, with their Wolf riding Wolf champions who wear wolf pelts while howling like wolves for their wolf lord who tells them to fight like wolves into combat vs some sparkly vampires who want to drink their blood.

TLDR: Blood angel codex fluff is terribad, its like they took the worst part of the Space Wolf codex (thunderwolves) and morphed it to fit Blood Angels, then wrote the whole codex about it.

I like the cut of this man's gibberish.

What you say is very interesting, and, yes--I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
