They won't, there was a great deal of QQ and the gnashing of teeth that it would happen to both BA and DA. If anything GW has shown they are willing to spin more dexes out of SM than back into (BT). Dark angels got screwed by later dexes, both in rules and points. Adjusting the points costs, especially giving them a severe break on plasma, which is what DA are supposed to have, would make them a viable list again. I would LOVE to see DA get some wonky ass rules like free plasma in 10 man Tacsquads, PlasCannon on DW Termies, TL Plascannon RB...you get the picture. They arent supposed to be robed marines, they are supposed to be plasma heavy with the option to run all terminators and bikes. GW obviously cant go back and retroactivly get space wolves off thier turf, but they CAN release new models and adjust points to convince DA players to run plasheavy despite it not being advantagous in the larger meta game.

oh yeah, and sculpt a fricking master of the deathwing and new Azrael, Ezekiel, and Chaplain models.

This mirrors my feelings exactly.

In a perfect world, the WD Codex would have been Inquisition units and characters that could (within limits) be added to any Imperial army, whereas the SoB would have received a proper book. Oh well. Maybe in another decade.

I distinctly have a feeling this entire WD codex is just one big serving of Noob Bait. Young kids spend dad's cash and don't understand the difference of 'New' and 'Good'. I think they are getting rid of the pewter models and preparing for the plastics to be released in the newly found space in the warehouse.

I expect some time around next February (just choose a month) sisters will be back and burn some heretic.
