Instead of telling us already, GW announced the next wave of Blood Angels in February 2011 in their 'newsletter' to be seen on Monday.

- StormRaven?
- Furioso?
- more?

Can't they have us enjoy it on Sunday?

EDIT:

Major dissapointment.

We have to wait and see.
An announcement of less substance was rarely seen.
Since their x-mas special gifts are chaos-icons can't we accuse them of Heresy and ?

Pft. They just like being polite and warning us about their big announcement the next day!

Take heed, video game companies and Apple. This is the way forward. Politeness and newsletters!

Well, the Stormraven pic has leaked out already:


And there's a kind of different looking Furioso back there that could be plastic. Figure a Stormraven, a Furioso, and a battleforce with some Death Company and said dreadnought. That's my conjecture anyway.

Have there been rumors of a new Battleforce? I figure the Stormraven's a given, the dread wouldn't surprise me...

Seriously, when can the wolves get some 2nd wave love?

That would make sense.
Are BA waiting for anything else to be released? (Other than the Death Company/ Librarian Dread, which I would imagine would be included in with a Furioso. At least I hope it is!)

So more Skaven in Jan and more Blood Angels in Feb, not a sight on either of those armies but just having wave releases seems to me to be a bit of a slow start to the year.

Yes: on the webpage that revealed the new Stormraven, the painter mentioned that he had painted it up to match the battleforce shown in the February White Dwarf.

Well this is annoying what about the other armies that need models still and have been out longer, ie tyranids, wovles.
This yet again is the werid but apperently brilllant GW logic .

Another "We're going to tell you something... but not now!" newsletter.

They understand what newsletters are right?

They don't even have a teaser pic?

YAWN bloodangles dont need anything new give the rest of 40k something new!

What like dark eldar?

They were overdue granted but the blood angles already had a do over this year, move on already.

a new honor guard squad would be nice other than that, do we need anything else :? BA termy kit? that would be nice

Maybe the spacehulk sprue?

You know they've been doing this with most armies so far, right? Initial release comes, then a second wave later?

I'm going to flip my gak if in a few months time (hopefully) we get the venom and other DE kits, and people start bitching about it. "OMG we just GOT Dark Eldar, moar Spess Mahreenz!"

The Space Wolves don't need any more models. The only model not represented within the Codex is the Thunderwolves. They would sell very well, but there are plenty of other options out there and it's GW's loss. So no, once again, Space Wolves do not need any more models.

Thunderwolf. Cyberwolf. A Wolf Lord/Priest/etc. kit (similar to the new SM hero kit). A Logan model that doesn't suck. I didn't say it had to be a BIG wave...

Logan doesn't really suck, though. Painted up nice he still looks awesome.

Now Ragnar, that's a model that could use an update.

Cyberwolf is covered by the Thunderwolf possibility and the rest have existing models and the Logan Model is actually very popular.

It's not to much a wave as more of a drop IMHO...

Why Blood Angels? there are plenty of opportunities for conversions from standard SM models. Why not something new, such as a new Inquisition, or Necron Codex?

I agree that Blood Angels are very much open to conversions, although the Storm Raven and Furioso aren't so much so models would be good for these.
However, a new Codex is very different from new models.

The Stormraven is at least something new, if ugly. But there's no excuse for making moulds for a fifth plastic Dreadnought (AoBW, standard, Ironclad, Venerable, Furioso) when you could already make a dual DCCW dread from the Ironclad kit.

Space Marines sell. Thats the reasoning for this

Am I the only person excited for a BA second wave? Haha. Seriously though, this might be the first plastic dreadnaught that I buy, not including the ones that I have from AoBR that I converted-one has the wings of a Lord of Change and a chaos knight lance to be my Librarian Dreadnaught, and one has a couple of claws-one from forgeworld-to be my death company dread.

So what does this announcement do to the projections regarding the expected release of DH?

@ Snake-Probably a March release for Grey Knights-I'm pretty sure (don't quote me) that they were saying February or March release for them. Just means it's March now instead.

I believe GK is going to be a March release.

GW has really slowed down its releases. When was the last Warhammer Fantasy army book released? When will the next one be released? Rumours point to O&G in May or something which means there's over a year between Warhammer releases. Are we down to one Warhammer armies book and two 40K codex books a year?

GW released four Warhammer army books in 2008, two in 2009 and only one 2010 (while we got three 40K codices in 2010)? Am I missing something here? Tomb Kings are playing with their book from 2003 and there's no book in sight for 2011. To me it seems that the reason why noone knows what GW is doing and what they will be releasing next for each of their game systems is because GW isn't really doing much.

TK are slated after Orcs IIRC. Maybe costs/whotnot are making revamps expensive. I dont know what I'm talking about though
