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!

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

It's not easy, but maybe this will help.



1, 5, and 6 look new to me. The Librarian in 1 isn't the same as the Finecast one on the GW site. 5 has a crazy robe over his armor, and 6 is carrying what looks like a sculpted Chapter Banner.

Excellent work identifying the outlines harrower.

All I want to know is; are they new poses? I need more legs for truescaling, and it's getting a bit tiring that most recent Terminator models are just the same handful of poses with different details on top. I know it's an easy way to cut costs to just reuse the same base meshes and add superficial detailing, but it's dull.

Guess we will find out later.

Looks like this is going to be an expensive release for me if new terminators are true also..

I'm not saying that GW wouldn't do it but it would be a great way to piss off your customer base to sell a splash release Blood Angel box set with the current vanilla terminators only to release new Blood Angel terminators a few weeks later.

Eh, if they're an elite unit it's not that bad. And honestly I can sell those termis at $40 and get most of the way to the new box if there is one. But hey, predicting doom is more fun.

You can sell 5 TACTICAL terminators for $40? American?

I cannot GIVE them away anymore. The terminator market is saturated from all the starter boxes having them for the last 5 years.

I'd echo this sentiment. Unless they're Space Hulk terminators, they go for dirt.

Those that still have faith in GW believe all sorts of weird things.

With kits recently I'd be pretty confident that you'd have enough bitz in the hypothetical new BA terminator box to blood up the vanilla terminators.

This. I'm going to leave the tactical termies from Deathstorm alone if there are new BA termies and then kit bash them together

Very Likely, I'm not building anything but the captain on the BA side of my deathstorm boxes until I see the new codex and box sets for sure. Although its starting to look like I'm going to be bit bashing a lot of things from the new tac box and possibly a new Terminator box. which I'm just fine with.

Yea but lets be honest here - most BA players already have enough Terminators with Space Hulk + what they had prior. We buy into Deathstorm because we want the special character and for some $ savings, but then in order for us to use the Termies we basically have to buy ANOTHER un-needed terminator box just so we can flash up the boxed ones to become close to playable over the Space Hulk models..

Seems like evil doing to me..

Same here....but with my 12+ old tactical terminators. Some arm and weapon swaps and some new Sang termies/DC termies for me!

Hype level went from 2/10 to 5/10 today.

Im not upset playing termies as standard termies. I play apoc fairly regularly and its cool to throw down some 1st company dudes.

I have thirty five terminators (10 cataphract)

Did some scientific research on the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, And some of those wing designs would be perfect for the blood angels backpacks

Be prepared to see the market flooded with Tactical Terminators if the rumors of a new Blood Angels Terminator box is true, which it looks to be more and more. I don't really have any use for Tactical Terminators in the first place.

No one has any use for tactical terminators...they've been among the worst units in the game for nearly 15 years.

The other real options are converting them into something useful, but TH/SS arms on ebay are nearly as expensive as outright buying a new assault terminator box.

Indeed. Though I am hoping that the introduction of the new Terminators comes with some form of new rules in one way or another. If the Tactical Terminators can be reconfigured into something useful (such as the rumored Death Company Terminators), then maybe they won't be totally garbage.

Its funny that GW seems bound and determined to push Terminators even though they just aren't good in any form (TH/SS are at least somewhat usable).

And it seemed that they would have a chance at the start of 6th with AP values in the assault phase... and then everyone got plenty of spammable AP2. :( *sigh*

I, too, have a Blood-load (sub in alternative non-BA noun of choice) of Terminators, and I DID buy the Space Hulk ones...two summers ago, inflated on e-Bay. Oh, woe is me...GW faked me out again. So, I am of the opinion that with that Space Hulk re-release, there are not going to be MORE new BA Terminators.

Back to this, do people run Assault Terminators? I have tried putting them in a Land Raider (with the Space Hulk Librarian) but they are a huge points sink and don't actually do that much damage. They're definitely cool looking and in Apocalypse where points don't really matter that's cool, but my 1st Company Tactical Dreadnought Armoured dudes aren't doing me much good besides looking cool.

Tru-Scaling appeals to me, but I've never done it and I have such a big army already. Of course, if they are going to change all the bases... Okay, I won't stir the pot anymore.

In any case, I'm super pumped just to have new stuff coming. I might stay up in my slowed time zone to get my pre-order in. Otherwise I'll miss everything for sure. Can anybody tell me what time (GMT) stuff opens up on the website for pre-ordering? I'd really appreciate it, and can then set my alarm or whatever.

Well I got notice that Deathstorm shipped. Might get to pick it up on Saturday.

My Deathstorm box got shipped yesterday evening. With luck, I have it this evening.

Dice are released when, did I miss a post saying that?

Pretty much everything we are getting pictures of will be from this Saturday's White Dwarf, meaning pre-orders Saturday, to be released the week after.
