Yeah, the same joke that was in the rumor roundup on the first post in this thread for over a week. Not everyone has the time to read through all the posts.

Which is fair enough if you're an average forum user, less so if you run a dedicated wargaming blog (one of the biggest afaik) that actively decides to publish rumours as news. In the latter case a littlef due diligence should be expected, surely?

A little sure. Going through every rumor that gets posted in a round up and trying to track them back to their source AND vet them is too much to ask of anyone.

I didnt see/hear anything about this at warhammerfest and I spent a decent amount of time in the shop there
Soon his foes would learn that the only thing more dangerous than a savage three hundred pound brute is a savage three hundred pound brute with a plan - Ork Codex

What? The book? Or the blood angels release in general?
Either, but I was specifically referring to that book which was meant to be limited release at warhammerfest

I posted the BoLS rumor to further discussion on this thread, but I'm not thinking iit's accurate.
I would believe
5 Assault
5 Death Company
1 Furioso Dreadnaught
1 LEBA Model
I still a Chaplain model makes more sense than a Captain. Blood Angels have a lot of HQ personalities as it is.
Unless it's Leonatos. I would believe someone at GW is a big enough Bloodquest fan that they would want to see Leonatos made.
BA do not have Terminator models, outside of Space Hulk, and the Furioso Dreadnaught is iconic and about the same price
---------
I went to my FLGS to try and pre-order it. They found mention of a Blood Angel's Campaign Box, but no details on it's name, contents, or price.

I figure we'll know by middle of next week. But yeah, 5 death co, 5 asm, a dread and a character seems super legit to me. The fact that it pops up on preorder is very interesting.
Yes, but there is only one model and retiring it for a Lictor Brood box would not actually be the worst thing in the world.
On that level it makes sense, but I highly doubt they are going to introduce a new kit through this. Stormclaw was all existing kits except for the special captain.

Shield of Baal: Leviathan seems to be the name of the new campaign book rumored by Lords of Wargaming. As Red Waaagh and Hour of the Wolf were not translated, but Stormclaw was, it should be the name of the book

You know that's how GW creates a feeding frenzy. So pre-order on the 8th and released on the 15th?
Sounds about right, with the new BA codex dropping the 22nd
No way.
The first Tyranid Campaign book (e.g. the Red Waaagh-equivalent) isn't even on pre-order, much less the box or the Codex. At the very earliest, it would be
8th - another new Nid-box + pre-order Tyranid pre-box supplement.
15th - release of Tyranid pre-box supplement, pre-order some filler.
22nd - pre-order campaign box
29th - release campaign box, pre-order first "teaser" BA-kit
5th - release first new BA kit, pre-order new Codex
12th - release new BA Codex
But, to be fair, I doubt it will be that close. More than likely, there'll be more weeks with single-kit releases before Codex drops, perhaps some fantasy and/or hobby products in the mix, possibly even a Hobbit week (it is the 3rd movie after all), etc.., etc..
And for the record, I almost always have a Tactical Squad when I play BA.
Same here. I would imagine most of us that played BA prior to the WD codex do so. We are a codex chapter after all.
Me too. TAC + Rhino = good times.
The boxed set with be either BA/DE or BA/NEC.

Not that I'm complaining. Just found a new way to continue to the marine love.
When they make an all "alien" vs. box set, then we'll see.
I'm guessing the next one will be Ultramarines v Necrons.
Nope. Dual boxed sets are for armies that are currently coming out. SW/Orks was the last one, right between the two releases. You won't see UM until all codex are done.
The essence of 40K is mankind's struggle against various alien threats, so I'm not sure you'll ever see an alien vs. alien box.

Except theres only one tyranid kit coming out, and all the rumor sources (including super reliable ones) point to the end of november. The campaign will likely start next week. Have you not been following this discussion at all?
