The small image of an army on WD #44 pg 14 has a librarian on it that I couldn't place at first. It looks like he has a pistol in one hand and a double bladed axe in the other. Is this the librarian from Space Hulk?

The Librarian from Space Hulk is actually Mephiston. He was called Brother Calistarius before the incident in which he got trapped under a building and then had to fight through the Black Rage.

As a slight curveball, it could be the Knights of Blood chapter. They are renegade and they did re-enter the Baal system to help in the defence against the daemons and kids.

Those damn kids. Always causing trouble in inter galatic solar systems.

I just don't know about that quickening power. It's like a nerfed warp speed, with the exception that it gives fleet, and in some situations you might benefit from tossing it on some other dude nearby. But the fleet part literally only helps if the Libby is alone, so Mephy or furioso libbies. And Mephy in the current codex has fleet already.

Disappointing choice for the Primaris, really. Would've preferred blood lance, sanguine sword, or wings of sanguinius instead.

The plus points are that as you mentioned you can cast it onto another dude. So you can use to beef up Dante or The Sanguinor, etc. Also it's the primaris power. So you can always get it and you'll get it for free if you focus on the Sanguinary powers.

The original fluff was fine when Blood Angels and Necrons put their differences aside to fight the Tyranids but I'm not sure why Necrons would come to their aid to the Blood Angels very own system. I'm going to have to put my fluff narravtive skills into hyper overdrive to come up with a story for that one.

Nemessor Zandrek confuses Baal for an allied Necron Dynasty Homeworld.

The Necrons feel it's a matter of honor to repay the life debt for the Blood Angels assistance fighting the previous Tyranid incursion.

The Tyranids are a greatest threat to the Necrontyr Empire since the Old Ones. The Necrons have an old bit of wisdom, applicable to the situration, about the enemies of their enemy being a great expendible resource .

Oh well, thanks for the suggestions. Also pretty convenient just to have them pop by at the right moment as well. Like they are coming to visit a relative just to get outside the house to witness the commotion.

Why do you need ATSKNF if youre fearless? The sanguinary guard have fearless and furious charge stock.

Im wondering if there are any changes to the encarmine weapons...

Does the power still exist that strips fearless? Terrify, was it? Because that could be an issue.

Can't check at the moment, but do other Fearless Marines (Purifiers, Death Co ect) have ATSKNF?

This popped up on natfka, http://dedard.blogspot.fi/2014/12/blood-angels-compiled-mega-post.html great compilation of all the pics so far

Picture below seems to have new terminators confirmed, sculpted chapter banner and storm shields look detailed too. Librarian also looks new rather than conversion, not same profile as any current ones including Calistarius from space hulk. Here's hoping!

Beeen waiting ages for new BAs maybe time to reboot the army!

Or they could be tracking the terrifying wave of death that is consuming everything in its path, and see an opportunity to stop it.
It's not as if the Necrons are behind Imperial lines handing out energy drinks and giving back rubs.

So... these Terminators with a standard bearer are old models?




They dont look like these




*Ninja'ed*

Is that an aquila strongpoint in the background or something else?

I don't know how anyone can claim to see sculpting on that stuff in that blurry image.

Terrify no longer strips Fearless.

Those termies and librarian certainly look different

Might add some credence to a Super Veteran Honor Guard Terminator/DC Terminator dual kit.

Im pretty sure that is a new banner too. (infront of the landraider)

Definitely a termy in robes there, possibly a new banner as well.

Quite obvious on the banner, raised relief writing on the scroll at the bottom, purity seals on the sides, top angel type thing is also new with something hanging from it. Given all of the banners now have detail on them I would be fairly confident that it wasn't freehands. Just looks that way to me. Some of the terminators have shoulder pad details too, the black BA symbol is visible on the standard bearer's right side

That banner looks familiar, look through the 5th edition codex (haven't got mine near) I'm sure it's amongst the various banners in the artwork section.

The hammer terminators appear quite standard. But the the banner bearer and sergeant look new or kit bashed. Does that banner come in the sanguinary guard kit? The librarian does look new as well. GW doesn't really showcase conversions so much anymore.

There's a very good chance that the "new" Terminator Sgt is the DV Sgt converted, by the looks.

It doesn't look like the robe is toga style, but that could be his chest eagle confusing things.

Good point. Infact the librarian could be a conversion of the plastic clampack.

Head turned in the opposite direction from the DV sgt. Head does look the same though

But when did GW feature such an amount of converted minis in one of its army books/white dwarfs of late?

Good point, I thought it looked like this, but with some modifcations.

I think people are really overestimating GW if they think blurry photos are some kind of marketing tactics.

But then again they look dumb enough to do that.

Looks like substantial changes to the robe detail.
What makes this harder (but nevertheless a valid use of my time at work) is that GW has established that they will base new minis on existing CAD designs.
So it's likely that they could be very similar to existing minis while ALSO being new.

Well, we're talking about them.

I'll wait for better pics before I start slavering what is a VERY unclear photo.

I think I see an entire range of plastic Sisters behind the flight stand stem!

Intriguing.

Anyone notice 3 of our 6 powers (excluding the primaris) are warp charge 2?

Seems we'll have to go big or go home if wanting to run Psykers...

Those termies do look different, but very familiar too, could it just be an upgrade pack to the normal melee terminators?

Don't spread your lies here sir!!! that is clearly new necrons and only logical since we will now be battle brothers and this is proof they are the next codex up! GW easter eggs everywhere!

This Company is getting brilliant I tell you!

man they keep surprising me with this release. I thought for sure the terminator rumor was bogus. Maybe that assault vehicle (with wheels!) is real...
