No one wants it, no one needs it but we're gonna get Codex Blood Angels. So what can we reasonably expect kit-wise?
OK a BA infantry box with blood drop shoulder pads, angels on the calves and probably some Super Black Red X marine bitz.
Recut Predator tank with the twin Donkey Cannon option.
Re-done razorback with all codex options?
And the usual sprinkle of special characters.
Anything else likely?

I'd say at the very least in terms of kits:
-Power Armored set that can double for a Death Company box set, and can be combined with an Assault Squad box to make, well, Assault Marines
-Terminator box
-Baal Predator box or a recut of the Predator box to allow 2xAssault Cannons
-Maybe either a Furioso kit or a recut of the Dread kit to allow a second DCCW
As for characters, I can see them keeping Dante, Corbulo, and maybe even Tycho as they are, but Mephiston is starting to show his age and Lemartes is just, well, bad, but realistically I'm expecting only Lemmy to get a resculpt if any.

I figure something akin to the Dark Angels veteran sprue. Something with bits for both tactical and terminator marines, and possibly a vehicle upgrade sprue like the Black Templars have. Really, all I can see them getting is doors and the options for the Baal Predator. I don't see them being quite as big a release as the Wolves, since I don't recall them ever being quite as popular an army.
I figure those two sprues, a new metal Sanguinary High Priest, a resculpt of an old character and two new metal characters and we're all set.

A chapter upgrade pack like the Templars, puppies and drag queens have would be awesome.
Would be cool if Moriar was brought back in the codex and could optionally be built with the Furioso kit.

It's probably too much to ask for a similar setup to space wolves and DA: taking all termies. It would make me love my space hulk terminators so much more.

Blood-Drenched Death Company Marine

Nobody want it??? Why I otta....
If we take a page from the SW, DA, and BT we can expect about 3 kits + heroes.
Usually most of those kits focuses around special units for the chapter and my guess is this time it will be Veteran Assaulters and Death Company.
Well have a spue of various bits to make BA troopers/leaders stand out.
Hopefully a couple of new heroes so the Chapter Master doesn't have to come out every time the BA want to set fire to someone's barn.

I want it. Not for the Blood angels but for the fact that you could be able to take an all assault marine force.
I bet they'll just make an upgrade kkit like for DA and maybe a plastic Death Company Box, as well as new heros ect.

I just had a strange thought of terminator Death Company. Weird, but could be good. Anyway, I think the sets would be like Space Wolves or Dark Angels. A squad or two, chapter upgrades etc.

Surely Space Marines riding Giant Bats, right?
Seriously though, I *hope* we get a redone Razorback Box set, but I'm not sure we will.
And the Space Hulk terminators, while nice, are far too varied in their kit to get released as a box set for BA, unless they drastically change the rules/options for BA termies...

Sounds likely enough.
Maybe something terminator related too...
..and... and I'm really not too sure here.. maybe another vehicle too.
If so it might go some way to explaining "recent" and ongoing ideas to do with certain large scale plastic kits.

Plastic Baneblade is for Apoc. only, I'd imagine a plastic Thunderhawk, if such a thing existed which it doesn't and won't for quite some time IMO, would also be apoc. only I would think/hope.

It seems that won't be a special Temie Kits, since the terminators did not played an important role in previous BA codexes.

Persephone 66 wrote:Would be cool if Moriar was brought back in the codex and could optionally be built with the Furioso kit.
I made Moriar recently, using an Ironclad box. Don't add the extra Ironclad parts. For the DCCWs, I used the Power Fist and the Chainfist, but I could change the arms anytime I wanted through a Bitz site. Another guy at my GW made a Furioso from 2 Ironclad boxes (two Chainfists, which currently are just DCCWs for BA). Expensive way to do it, mind. Remember, in the Ironclad set you get Moriar's Heavy Flamer and Meltagun too. Obviously, he just gets used as a Death Company Furioso though, and I'd love to see him re-added. Hell, he is mentioned in the PDF on the Furioso page so it annoyed me he wasn't included.
As for what I think BA could get:
- New character sculpts: Lemartes NEEDS this. Mephiston, Tycho and Corbulo are also looking very old. Dante isn't too bad.
- Upgrade sprues, whether distributed like Crimson Fists Bitz packs or a full-blown set, like Dark Angels.
- Additions to the Predator box to make a Baal a viable option.
- Veteran Assault Squads? The Vanguard set doesn't work for this, as there's too many special weapons. Currently I have to buy all the Bitz separately to make these, which isn't cheap.
- Possibly a plastic Furioso?
I think that's all we'd have a chance of getting. Can't wait for whatever gets announced, I've always been a big BA player.

I would HOPE but not guess the following.
Blood Angels in Power Armor (a la the SW set, with BA themed stuff for Tac, assault, dev, honor guard, JP Vets, death company, etc)
BA Vehicle sprue (assault cannons, extra dread power fist arm)
Characters, no new releases, just re-releases
and that's it. I really like that GW is consolidating ALL the PA marine releases for the non-smurf codices into one PA box, and maybe one Termie box. BA don't really need the termie box, so I'd suggest the cehicle sprue instead.

GW need time to observe the popularity of products.
A box of new uprade kits would be (definitely) welcomed and purchased by BA players. But a new Furioso kits may have different situation. The sales would possibly influenced by rules and other reasons.

Well it's not that they dont need it or no-one wants it, its just others need/want it more. Namely Necrons etc.
Anyways, as has been said, I'd expect:
- Blood Angel Infantry Sprue, much like the Space Wolf one (except maybe to integrate with, rather than replace the tactical marine box), which will include a smattering of shoulder pads, chest plates, weapons and special weapons (veterans) and the like.
- Predator upgrade, or entirely new predator kit including Baal options
- Furioso Kit. This may well be done by forgeworld instead however. I'd imagine a FW blood angels dreadnought to be almost certain too.
- Death Company sprue - maybe an entirely new plastic boxed set, or upgrades on the Blood Angel Infantry sprue.
- Special Characters - Definately Lemartes.
- I wouldn't however expect a new Terminator Sprue or terminators as troops via special character (maybe Dante will allow Vet. Assault squads as troops instead?!). New terminator plastics arent really needed, particually not when GW can sell the current one for £25.
