Blood Angels need Drop Pods WITH WINGS !!!

Considering that a BA Drop Pod already looks like a giant blood drop, I think they already have that covered. But if they make a flyer that has giant angel wings, that would be nice too.

I want my BA dex, stop throwing bugs around.

Yes! Exactly! How long do we have to wait!??! I am starting to feel like a Bretonnia player here.

Hey, I'm just happy that there are rumours that stuff is actually on the way in the foreseeable future. I've really struggled with anti-aircraft with BA (Besides Storm Raven, which I can never roll successfully for...), so I am hoping to see something come out for that niche--so I echo the hopes for a "light flyer" for us. I basically don't understand why BA don't have access to all Space Marine flyers, or the "new" units like Centurions and the two anti-aircraft tanks. So at least that change would be appreciated.

But something new like the new Space Wolf Flyer would also be awesome.

I know right!

The worst thing is I'm also a SoB player, so I'm used to getting neglected by GW, but to be so close andkeep getting delayed is really frustrating!

The nephilim fighter would look cool with a ba paint job.

Too bad that the NJF blows ruleswise. Something based on its chassis might be cool though. Of course, it would probably have the word blood in there somewhere.

**pantheralegionnaire**

If not "Blood" then "Sanguine" or other latin derivative for sure. But yes, something fast and aggressive to fit our nature.

Hey, rules wise, I hope our Jump Troops get a boost--we are supposed to be the best at that, right? Or Sanguinary Guard--they could stand to be improved somewhat. I have been happy with the new edition of the rules, though--Hammer of Wrath has definitely improved Assault marines in close combat. But I'd like to see the Blood Angels be superior in what they are supposed to be superior at.

I'm happy to wait – I'd rather they get it done right than get it done quick...

Oh im sure its already done and on the presses. Maybe even in the storehouse already.

**sockwithaticket**

Yep, if it's in any way imminent the codex will already be finished in in boxes awaiting distribution (assuming the latter hasn't already happened).

I'd also say that taking longer to release something in no way guarantees that it'll be done better. This is probably doubly so for GW.

It's good to have hope, but mine has long been abandoned.

LOL, I never thought of it that way. It's a "blood drop" pod. As for the wings, just model it with two opposite doors open and do a free hand feather paint scheme; problem solved!

Henseforth I will only ever refer to them as such.

Done right or not, BA need a major improvement in terms of codex. We have been waiting for too long.

Seconded. Where's @Martel in all this discussion anyway? You out there, O Chapter Master of Blood?

I have been wondering that two, I don't recall him on the Space Wolves one either.

Leaked Dwarf pics have some Flesh tearers fighting bugs, and a "new releases" FT novel.
Perhaps they will play a part in the new campaign or even get to feature that first obligatory supplement.

Not that I see a FT tactic to be very competetive in this day and age.

Link to pics? I'm guessing the novel is the one that was at Warhammer Fest discussed earlier in this thread.

**Kelly502**

Sheesh! Didn't see the Nid release coming! Someone mentioned the BA stuff already in there warehouse ready to ship, well your exactly right! I've seen pallets of new items it the old Baltimore HQ years ago before a major release. Pretty amazing how they are keeping it a secret!

The teaser for Black Library's Sons of Wrath shows new artwork. I made a screenshot of the character one. Looks like current armour

The art style also fits the Supps/Painting Guides of late, maybe the Codex: Blood Angels Supplement is featuring Flesh Tearers. Gabriel Seth already being available as a miniature they are probably the first choice for a supp

@LutherMax

Yes, that's the novel, Sons of Wrath. Currently only available as a 1. ed hardcover

Sorry, if the pic (hosted on Imgur) doesnt load :( It does on my tablet but not on my notebook (firefox browser)

While the artwork is good.. it totally fails at being "terminator armor". The reason it's dynamic looking is because the artist just copied the dimensions of the power armored guy, stuck some terminator shoulder pads + helmet on power armor and called it a day.

It's not *supposed* to look just like power armor...

**Warhams-77**

Have these characters been part of other novels or codex fluff yet? I couldn't find them in the Lexicanum wiki

It's still an awesome image even if not entirely physically accurate.

**Kelly502**

Flesh Tearers. Someone got the White Dwarf direct shipped. He needs to watch his background when taking pictures else someone catches him breaking the rules.

I don't care for the GW paint jobs on the Nids, I'd like to see those Flesh Tearers closer though. Curious to have a sub-chapter like that featured. I like the red and black combination on their armor!

Well the torso isn't power armour - it reaches up over the helmet, which power armour doesn't do (the libby picture does, I assume that's meant to be his psychic hood). It's also got the upper thigh/waist plates you tend to see on terminator armour. The legs look fine, they're missing the exterior spines you tend to see on terminator legs but that's the only issue. It's just overall a bit more slender and upright than we're used to seeing, but other than that and the missing leg spines it's fine. Far from "sticking terminator shoulder pads and a helmet on power armor", anyway.

Ork player here. Just a reminder we got shat on after a long time and things you take for granted could be removed like jump troops. So don't get too excited for new, I for one would much rather have the old.

Except i can assure you that we wont lose jump infantry as troops, and if we do then we'll get it back in our unique force org.

**Orock**

Sure, and 2 weeks before the ork book launched, I would have told you exactly that word for word about our nobz.
