I would laugh so hard if the BA got to pilfer a Stormfang Gunship and renamed it the Bloodfang.

I somehow doubt we'll get any entirely new units. The wolves got a flyer because they needed one, and the stormraven/talon didnt really fit. We have basically everything we need. Fast tanks, our own predator variant, assault marines as troops, 2 different variants of assault marines, super cool apothecaries, etc. All we need is a few new character models. Though i would like to see a smaller and faster dreadknight equivalent. Something sleek and gold with massive angelic wings and a big a$$ sword.

Good point and I think you're right. Opening up the storm talon for us would make sense, my thoughts on Centurions are detailed above, but other than that I would be happy with just a couple of plastic kits of existing old characters / units. Oh and some nice price drops in the codex of course

i agree with you, but instead of Vanguard squads (or maybe even right along side of Vanguard squad) bring back the Veteran Assault squad BA use to have

Adepta Sororitas...............

Technically, they got a book in 6th edition. It was just digital only.

It was updated after 7th edition dropped, so it's basically a 7th edition codex.

What? Apetpa Sororitas was released before the final 'Games Day' (now Warhammer Fest) around the same time as Sentinels of Terra andthe fantasy Dark Elves. It must be nearly a year old at this point, if not over a year old.

7th edition was released earlier this year, in the summer time.

I don't mean to derail the thread but say the SoB digital dex is a 7th edition dex is a blatant lie.

Read what I wrote and not what you want to jump down my throat for. It's a digital codex, It was updated to include the 7th edition errata and cover 7th edition psychic powers.

Considering that kit is all space wolf bits, I strongly doubt it.

It can't get too much worst for the Crimson devils.

If they drop one codex on us for Halloween and the other for Thanksgiving Day weekend they can take the month of December off, and finishthe year with strong 3rd quarter sales.

The only issue is, that their fiscal year ends around June 1st, and even with the Half Year Report (around December 1st) the release(s) they make from here to the holiday's won't be realized until next summer.

I just find it somewhat odd how quiet the rumors have actually been considering how close this might actually be released, it is starting to feel like how the Imperial Knights release was when it just came out of nowhere. I would be fine with just a reworking of the Codex to bring us into point equivalency with other Space Marine Codices. However, what if our release turns into the Imperial Knight release and it is a literal Descent of Angels raining on us? One can hope I guess.

New news from Lords of War gaming. Beginning of november will feature a new campaign involving the blood angels, with them facing off against either the tyranids or necrons.

Everyone knows Blood Angels don't fight against Necrons in that particular ménage à trois.

Indeed - I guess the Blood Angels don;t actually need a new Codex either as they also had a few FAQs for 7th - so fully updated..............

Im posting from my phone and its being super weird right now. Check the original post debunking the necron rumors and announcing BA for the end of the year. Its at the bottom of the comments section.

The current Blood Angels book has no Warlord traits, no Relics, no Missions, and no formations.

The current Sisters book has Warlord traits, Relics, Missions, and formations(Purge Squadron, Repentant Host, The Angelic Host)

IDK WTF more you want from the sisters book to consider it a 7th edition codex.

nids nids nids nids

Here it is:
Lords of War Gaming There will be a campaign book that is released early November. Necrons are not for a while I know of two armies that are next and another codex that will shock people next year.

Lords of War Gaming I been told that there will be a box like storm claw. BA for sure but I don't know it its Nids or Necrons. If I was to guess I would say Necrons following the Storm Claw model.

Ross Mason What time are we talking for the Nid Release?
Lords of War Gaming The should release soon, within 6-7 weeks.

Blood Angels verses Tyranids, and then Necrons come in for the rescue !!

I've heard that GW will do a 40k spin off of pod racing/gorkamorka in 2015.

Centurions aren't really in keeping with the BA style though - storm talons or an equivalent would be more likely

Centurions don't belong in any Space Marine army stylistically.

So really, they're no more or less fitting for the Blood Angels, lol.

centurions belong in a black hole, 2000 years ago, under the carpet.

I should know better than to get my hopes up but...

With my brothers interest in 40k hanging by a thread as a Blood Angel player and my renewed interest in Nids I really hope BA are next and we get a Stormclaw'esqe campaign between them and Nids.

maybe we'll get a boxed set around the imfamous brofist alliance of BA and 'crons vs Tyranids.

This definitely has me interested.

I bet a dollar that this won't happen.

I don't know that that is necessary. And the AS codex is not a 7th edition codex. It is a 6th edition codex, even with the updates. Just like Tau, Eldar, etc.

In all seriousness, wasn't Leviathan on a crash course for Baal in the fluff? I can't remember right now.

This will never happen but I would kinda like to see Blood Angel Terminators removed as they are all on Space Hulks in my mind...

What is with all the hate on Centurions ?

It could be because the models look horrible and the idea of Adeptus Astartes nesting dolls is just as bad.

Or because people like different things... I like the short ones but not the choppy ones.
