Wait, so I don't get to take my R'varna to tournaments with rules I printed from the internet yet other people can show up with dataslates printed from the internet? I call foul.

**Sirius42**

Sorry could someone send me the info about the blood angel retcon please?

That would be because the R'Varna's rules still have that big huge stamp marked "Experimental" on them.

Anyway, I, too, am curious about the BA retcon.

Spoiler:

the black rage was striking down blood angels before the death of sanguinuis. It's a curse they bore before the Hersey, but the blood angels covered it up.

That's what I thought people were referring to.

Blood Angels have always had twin afflictions, one as a result of the death of their Primarch, one which their Primarch was rumoured to suffer from himself. I interpreted the events in question to be the latter, not the former.

**plastictrees**

That seems...minor.
Certainly nothing like the Iron Hands changes.

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

Yeah I think the Iron Hands got it far worse.

**Alpharius**

I'm resisting here...

On topic please!

I just want to know when the AdMech units gets released. They have been in the online catalogue for a week or two now.
I need them.

100% Astartes. I was kind of hoping the Rvarna would be on there for one last hurrah before the nerf.

Proving that the world does in fact need, and love, more generic white males in power armor.

Amirite?!?

We need to prove them wrong when they finally release some non-marine units for once.

**Kirasu**

The black rage retcon is better imo anyway, pretty much ALL of the other legions have some kind of genetic flaw so it seemed silly the black rage was the result of sanguinius' death.

Also, the BA fluff was written a super long time ago before the Heresy books were even started. I like the explanation in Fear to Thread much more than the older stuff.

**Azreal13**

Red Thirst =\= Black Rage.

Just sayin

Exactly!

Now, the Blood Angels get super dooper angry, just because.

It is a goofy retcon, but, so be it!

The original being that they get super dooper angry because someone they never knew, that died many thousands of years before they were born, died a violent death, combined with BLOOD MAGIC SCIENCE SOMETHING. Just as goofy, if not more, if you ask me.
I'm pretty sure there are many of my ancestors that died pretty gruesome deaths if we are to look 10 000 years in the past, and I do not go berserk because of it. But that must be because they did not possess enough blood magic something. That, or not enough inbreeding.

**dantay_xv**

They get super dooper angry because of their blood connection to Sanguinius.
They are afflicted as such that when the curse becomes too much they begin to hallucinate that they are Sanguinius in his last moments before death and they are surrounded by their enemies and also their traitor brother Horus.
While gripped in this state they go berserk and set themselves upon the enemy in a frenzy.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to talk to the fiance...

**Matt1785**

I will hold out for the new bundle deals and hope that they are a bit more relevant to something I'd want to put together. I'd like to see some troops with vehicle bundles, that'd be nice. Also, I'd like to see those Kreig tank bundles just be select 3 tanks and go with it.

Yeah, that is exactly the crazy blood magic science thing I was speaking about. What exactly is this connection supposed to be ? Did blood angels drink Sanguinius blood after retrieving his dead corpse or something ? Or is there some voodoo magic at work because they drank his blood before he died, and his blood is so magically magic that it created a telepathic connection between them or something ?

**Alpharius**

I didn't realize what thread I was posting in when I typed that reply so... again... sorry for helping drag this one off topic.

Please take all discussion of the ridiculous BA retcon to a thread all its own over in 40K Background please.

Thanks!

The Empire bundles are quite attractive until you remember you need to buy plastic state troops too. Yikes.

Actually, it's not that bad.

All you need for the Manaan's Blades and Ironsides are the weapon arms. They come sold as complete bodies with heads, just no weapon arms.
Admittedly I don't understand why no weapon arms. I've never gotten a concise answer from FW on that one.

**Alpharius**

I think you already know the answer on that one...

It's weird since they give the complete kit for 40k units such as the Warp Hunter coming with a fire prism sprue

Maybe they aren't selling well and want to make sure they offload a few more to their 'premium' Forgeworld customers.

Has anyone done the math on these 'bundles'? Do they offer a significant savings, or are they as pointless as the one-clicks on GW's web store?
