It's most definitely English. The rules for the SG are Fearless and Furious Charge. The wargear just has page numbers behind them.

What about Descent of Angels?

I think DoA is a wargear rule attached to the jump pack itself rather than the unit, for units that have jump packs as an option.

**th3maninblak**

Uness they put DoA into a special force org. Which would be boring.

The picture was put up at the following link. Really not sure who to credit for it, but FuriosoLibrarian had found it.

No mention of DoA in the Jump Pack rules here. I think this is just the Deathstorm listing though...?

Some dice for your perusal...

@ plastictrees, that's odd - although it was a bit confusing in the last codex, maybe they changed it...

**Desubot**

Man they still use the 1s again for the cool symbol :/

**Warhams-77**

It is a bad idea - why not the 6?

**Fango**

I know, right? I mean the dice look cool, but having the symbol on the 'one' side is just lame...especially in a game where one's are not typically what you want to see show up on your die rolls...save for maybe Ld tests...

Yay Blood Angels!!....oh, everyone's dead....

**Warhams-77**

My terminators will save that! The Shield of Baal, right?

*BAM*

Looks like substantial changes to the robe detail.
What makes this harder (but nevertheless a valid use of my time at work) is that GW has established that they will base new minis on existing CAD designs.
So it's likely that they could be very similar to existing minis while ALSO being new.

I think people are really overestimating GW if they think blurry photos are some kind of marketing tactics.

But then again they look dumb enough to do that.

Well, we're talking about them.

Have we seen the new Tac Marine sprues yet? It's possible there are a few BA terminator upgrade bits on them (like the DA upgrade sprue had for DW termies).

**Deadshot**

Maybe because its 1 symbol on the "1" side?

**Paradigm**

Simple, give them to your opponents to roll 2+ saves with. Rub salt into the wound when the BA symbol comes up!

**BlackArmour**

Well i went from, totally going to buy some of those dice to not buying any. I dont wanna be sad to see my chapter symbol, just 5 mins worth or research or even common sense wouldve told them that.

**H.B.M.C.**

Well at least the symbol on the tin matches the symbol on the dice *cough* Tyranids *cough* .

**casvalremdeikun**

When you have the magazine in hand things are much clearer. I thought maybe the librarian pictured was the one from the Space Hulk box but the gun and axe are switched around and his robe is different. He is standing more upright than the regular terminator librarian. It is definitely a new sculpt. The Terminators are of a different sculpt than any others we have seen at this point.

This leads me to believe that the rumor of the Blood Angels specific Terminators is, in fact, true. It also appears like we are going to be getting a new Terminator Librarian. The new Terminators irritate me since THEY are what should be in the Deathstorm box, not the crappy basic Terminators. I am cool with the Librarian though, might pick one up.

**Warhams-77**

Maybe after pre-order started it is the hive worm-affair all over again

Were the Tyranid dice crap? I didn't see them, and there's a big SOLD OUT stamp over them on the webstore now.

**lliu**

True! It happened!

**th3maninblak**

Truth be told im not really worried about a sanguinary priest "nerf". As it stands now hes a hugely expensive single wound model, but cant be any cheaper because his effect is arguably one of the most powerful in the game (as far as elites go). Making him only hand out feel no pain means that they can either extend his range to 12 inches or something, or make him drastically cheaper.

**pantheralegionnaire**

I'm just loving the volume of posts about so very little actual leaked info. There's a lot of pent up consumer demand on this thread, myself included.

Maybe this "drag the release out over several weeks" strategy is working.

**SharkoutofWata**

Oh it is absolutely working. I'm here checking every new post hungry for new info and I haven't even started collecting the army yet...

Probably tied to a formation, like the Grey Knights Turn 1 deepstrike

Or the Wolves mass Outflank.

Yeah pretty much. Thats what happens when an army gets dumped on for 2 straight editions and finally gets an update. Nearly 5 years is a long time to wait under those circumstances.

Imagine the complete implosion when sisters actually happen.

**OIIIIIIO**

Cue some DE smack talk about 12 years ...

OT:Is it this Friday that the Codex goes up for pre-order?

I feel like this has been such a slow release. Seeing as rumors have been popping up for months now.

Yes. The codex and everything go up for preorder on the 5th, i think. The manager at my LGS said he should be receiving shipments in on the 12th of december.

And someone ALWAYS has it worse, but that doesnt mean we cant complain or hate our own situation =p

Apart from Vect the only characters who've disappeared from the last couple of codices are ones that don't have models.

Every BA character has a model, so they should be safe. (Even if those models are ancient and in the awful finecast).

You mean like sly marbo? He had a model and was cut from the IG book and that model was newer and more dynamic than some of the one piece two dimensional 2nd edition BA sculpts. My guess is that they'll redo Mephiston, keep Dante the same, and dump Tycho.

I said last couple of codices. Couple = 2. The last two codices are Dark Eldar and Grey Knights, about which my comment is accurate.

The IG book and it's lost characters are a bit of a special case. Correct me if I'm wrong but the characters cut were Al-Rahmen, Sly Marbo and Harker? Now as far as I know (again, please correct me if I'm wrong), while all three of those had models, they never made the transition to finecast and were still metal? If my info is right, then they were dropped because GW didn't want to keep up production of the metal miniatures and were not interested in changing them to finecast given that they seem to have given up on new releases in that material, too (that's not me saying it will disappear, just that we no longer get new models in or old models converted to and going forwards this will continue to be the case).

Rather then doing these mental gymnastics, wouldn't it be easier to just assume that GW is run by plebs and there is no real rhyme or reason apparent to us outsiders that determines who gets cut and who stays?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.. and all that.
