Thats what I'm expecting

If they change the rules for the units in the dark vengance boxset will it mean they have to change those to match or might

**CrashGordon94**

^Honestly, one might expect that they'll just flat-out discontinue Dark Vengeance. If not, they probably will need to update it.

I won't be online unil later today, but like in the last months, it COULD be that Gamestrust.de will be the first to show photos of the upcoming WD, maybe even today. They already have a gallery tab, which is currently empty. When they post pics, they should turn up there or in the article list beneath:

And apparently grav bits added to the lineup that you can use (but taken from vanilla marine kits at least so far).

**master sheol**

INCOMING!

in some of the tidbits is mentioned the following:
"Dark angels are known for their discipline (even guilliman respects says that) need proof? look at the overwatch fire of a battle demi-company!"
and "dark angels are known to attack hard and fast. expect the deathwing to assault on turn 2"

the upcomming WD has(sorry if it isnt 100% translated):
- at the dusk of a new age...
-...we are celebrating warhammer
- new mission: hunt The Fallen

no real leaks yet dear friends. expect them on the following tuesday/wednesday. when i got the book in my hands.

**JuniorRS13**

*Starts crying after seeing the cover*

It's beautiful.

**Thairne**

NO DW Assault on Turn 1 anymore? That's bad. Really bad.

**Warhams-77**

Thanks, Master Sheol, this stuff looks awesome

Unless they mean drop on turn 1 and assault on turn 2. Status quo.

**MasterSlowPoke**

Why would someone upload such huge blurry photos? Downsample!

**Nyoom**

What is the little booklet on the far right?

**MasterSlowPoke**

I think that's a sleeve for the larger cards.

**H.B.M.C.**

Hmm... if the Dark Angels Codex turns out to be good that'll be too many "overpowered" Codices in a row. They'll need to do a weak one as a "cool down".

So, time for a new Chaos 'Dex then, ay?

I think the Harlequin book was crappy enough to constitute 5 OP books tbh.

Always exciting to see new DA stuff. Hope we get more than the chaplain though.

**bullyboy**

I wouldn't say the Harlequin book was crappy, but it could have been so much more. The fact that I can effectively play a Harlequin army is a win in itself.

A Limited Edition DA Codex amongst it.

Is the base book going to cost 58$?

**Formosa**

Is that dark angel psychic cards I see!!

**A Town Called Malus**

"Dark angels are known for their discipline (even guilliman respects says that) need proof? look at the overwatch fire of a battle demi-company!"

So Dark Angels are getting improved overwatch (possibly a formation bonus?).

Wonder whether it'll get as much hate as Supporting Fire for the Tau.

**Eldarain**

Preferred the last cover myself. Ideally the contents are a vast improvement.

**Matt.Kingsley**

But seriously, I hope the new codex is an improvement over the previous one for the sake of DA players everywhere.
Though the Chaos player within me would be sad to see you leave...

my guess is Overwatch at BS 2 for the formation.

That was my thinking but then I remembered the whole "free transports and/or upgrades" stuff that they've also been coming out with and wondered whether it may be overwatch at full BS.

Anyone know the specific time of day on saturday that the releases are done?

**Warhams-77**

This was posted by TemperMaximus on Warseer an hour ago:

"[...] Also he had the following comments:
-Dark angels get their own discipline.
-the first power is a curse that affects all enemy units within 9" of the psyker. affected units have to roll 3d6 on morale, fear and pinning tests.

[...]"

The Codex is 58 US$ / 70 CAD. It has 160 pages according to the latest rumors.

**Colpicklejar**

I expect the improved overwatch will be the specific demi-company formation, to which I say: who cares? Tac marines will suddenly become better against hormagaunts, ork boyz, and harlequins.

Improved overwatch is awesome on tau because they have withering firepower and are terrible at assault. Improved overwatch on marines really isn't that great, at least from where I'm standing.
