Oh, ok then. I was not aware of that fact. I wonder if it is a DC dread only or if it is the full furioso set.

its the full set

This makes it way more interesting. DC and Furioso boxes are amazing in terms of bits. With few bits bought separately you can easily complete a 2nd dread.

That is what I was hoping for. I am still disappointed by the Termies. I know they are fluffy when it comes to v. Tyranids, but I would rather have gotten either an assault squad or another squad of DC.

**evildrcheese**

Any idea if the termies ir tac or assault? I really don't need more tac termies!

No, it's:

1x HQ (captain)
1x Elite (termies)
2x Troops (DC & DC Dread)

But if you get all the Dread sprues you could make a Furioso or Furioso Librarian (so another Elite).

The only thing is none of those units are objective secured until we get a new codex...

The Death Company Dreadnought is objective secured.

**warboss**

Doesn't it specifically say currently that it can't ever be scoring?

Nope,only Death Company have that due to their Black Rage special rule,the DC Dread just has Rage so he has OS

**Reality-Torrent**

Any news about when the BA vs Tyranid figure box will be released?

**adamsouza**

Rumor is 3 weeks but it's not confirmed

For now. As the book was written when vehicles couldn't score I could see them adding the same rule to the dread.

**adamsouza**

Newest Rumor pertaining to Blood Angels is that the Blood Angels 7th Edition Codex, whenever it is finally released, will eventually be reprinted in a lower priced softcover

and yeah, I have to agree that Death Company Dreads will probably lose objective secured if the new incarnation of Death Company loses it as well.

**th3maninblak**

Last rumor i saw on release dates was that the boxed set will be spoiled/go up for preorder on the 29th and ship the 6th. So the codex will be released 1-3 weeks after that, probably.

Ah, that is it. I knew it wasn't scoring back when I played it in 5th for some reason. Thanks for the clarifications.

**Kanluwen**

Expect to see "Cities of Death" cards at some point soon, as the Designer Notes in Leviathan specifically reference them.

**Jefffar**

I think that even if Death Company or Assault Marines wind up moving out of troops, it won't be a huge loss. Its likely the new BA codex will include a custom detachment similar to Wolves Unleashed or Champions of Fenriss that will alter the FOC to provide something useful as an alternative to Objective Secured and the ability to base an entire army around Assault Marines or Death Company.

**OIIIIIIO**

I do not see them moving the RAS from troops slot. They did not change the SW Scouts from elites in their codex, and RAS Marines have been a troop choice for as long as I can remember.

From the rumblings throughout the interwebs, this may transform into the new normal for codex releases - per the new CEO wanting to take new directions. OT, but I figured it was related.

Either way, I'm pretty stoked about the boxed set and the soon-to-be-revealed codex.

Not saying they will, just expect some kind of unique FOC option to make Assault Squads or Death Company viable. Perhaps Descent of Angels or Black Rage become detachment/formation rules or similar.

Wasn't there talk of Battle Sisters maybe being involved in a blood angels set?

Or a campaign, to be precise?

Blame the Sisters. Everyone else does.

Note I specifically tried to start a thread to talk about the new pack and the Sisters involvement in it but this was locked and I was told to clutter up this thread and others instead............

Check the tyranid and blood angel rumor threads. In the meantime, someone lock this thread please?

There was, I'm not crazy!

**MrFlutterPie**

Appreciate the pics Smitty

**Smitty**

Thanks, although I found it because someone on Facepunch posted it in the 40k thread.

**Neronoxx**

There was never anything said about sisters being in the set, only that they were in the shield of baal books. But the artwork is amazing.

**rollawaythestone**

More and more, i'm thinking a Sisters Codex will be around the corner. New Sisters art simply for a campaign supplement? More likely in my mind that it was done for a codex down the road. Could Sisters be the codex release that will *shock* people?

First off, thank you for spoilering it, Smitty. To answer Neronoxx's question, it looks like it is from the Baal campaign book that they just sold out of. It may not be directly relevant to the Blood Angels but it is peripherally related.

No..

**adamsouza**

I could definitely see Adpeta Sororitas getting some love next year, after Blood Angels and Necrons. I'm still pulling for a Blood Angels Codex before Christmas, but you know, I'm a bit of an optomist I guess.

**casvalremdeikun**

Well, I already set up a halvesies deal for the BA half of the insofar unannounced boxed set. I kinda wanted the nids as well, but better the half I really want than likely neither. I hope the new codex makes them viable and different enough from C:SM. Honestly, I kinda regret not playing Blood Angels in the first place. I could have made a custom Successor chapter(Vein Rippers, a Blue with red and black accents chapter colors with Death Company with blue X's). I am probably just going to make standard Blood Angels now since my Crimson Fists have the blue covered.

I wish we knew (like we KNOW anything about this box) if it was Tactical or Assault Terminators. I guess I would be okay with Tactical Terminators.

**angelofvengeance**

Answers will come soon I think.
