You know that we're talking about Blood Angels here, right?
Enough with the Space Vikings.

Do people think we'll lose either the Reclusiarch or Chaplain? I'm pretty sure the SM codex only has one of them, unless that was always a BA exclusive feature?

I forgot for a second that Spacewolves have a unit called BloodClaws

I'm just looking forward to Drop Pods moving from dedicated transport to Fast Attack

Possible. But I think it was more of a Space Wolves thing as they have always relied on Drop Pods both in fluff and gamplay.

**adamsouza**

The theory has been bouncing around Dakka since Ork and SW codexes dropped that the dedicated transport section is going away. All the vehicles have an apporiate slot in force org.
Those that could choose them before as dedicated transports can still do so, without them occupying a force org slot.

It's expected future codexes, like Blood Angels, will follow this pattern

Pray, just pray that things like DOA, Super Charged Engines, Furious Charge, etc. dont become Warlord traits and are determined randomly.

The last thing you need is to plan a DS army and have your warlord trait be something stupid like a 12" bubble of fear.

FA Dedicated Transports seem to be the new thing, but I have not seen the Dark Eldar Codex yet.

Eh, he's literally the only player I've seen complain about the (awesome) SW dex.

**Frankenberry**

As much as I want the dex to be an improvement, I suspect we'll suffer some loses, which I suppose are to be expected.

I wouldn't be surprised if DOA disappears and/or becomes a Dante only thing. Death Company will probably be something stupid like up to 5 models unless you take Lemartes or Astorath. Wouldn't be surprised if deepstriking Land Raiders go away too.

On the other side, we'll probably get our transports set in FA or Heavy Support (Raiders only) and dedicated transports negating their force organization requirements (someone else mentioned this earlier). Might see an army wide change to assaulting buffs, not sure what though. Will probably see points changes for a lot of our stuff; librarian, HQ's across the board, might see an increase in transports because of those turbo engines.

I'm waiting to see if we get new kits too, like some flying BlooD Dreadnought of planet Bloodland using Blood cannons, and Blood claws on Bloodwings. Also, a single troop choice called Blood Desciples that use Blood Bolters.
