If I'm in range to be assaulted, I did something wrong.
and "dark angels are known to attack hard and fast. expect the deathwing to assault on turn 2"
After getting shot to pieces upon Deep Striking turn 1.
<still have high hopes!!>
This is me keeping my expectations low so I can be "pleasantly surprised"

18 months or less for their lifespan makes any of the Limited Editions a really tough sell (more so even than their price point already does)

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.
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.
Overwatch at BS10!

The Codex is 58 US$ / 70 CAD. It has 160 pages according to the latest rumors.
You know, that might just make up for no Biomancy! ...Unless our Librarians also get Biomancy!

The suspense is killing me! Will i finally be able to play Dark ANgels? I have bought a couple of miniatures incl dark vengeance over the past year but never comitted due to crappy codex! But this soon after the release of SM there might just be hope! If only the costs would be the same as normal marines it would be a win already!

Details on Eldar, Tzeentch & Dark Angels
“Next 3 releases are still Eldar, DA, Tzeentch.
I’ve now heard the DATac. Squad isn’t coming with this release. (Which in no way means the release list has changed, the release dates do NOT change. If isn’t coming it simply isn’t coming.)
The Chaplain I heard about is also apparently going to be released separately rather than in a box set as I thought originally.
It was specifically titled a “Interrogator Chaplain” rather than just DA Chaplain ala the Blood Angel Libarian.
So as far as I know the release will just be a new Chaplain and Codex.
Release date May.”
and this:
“I heard it was a full new dex with a spotlight on the 5 major Craftworlds and some formations to represent some of their battle tactics. Whether the Craftworlds themselves will get anymore rules than that I don’t know.I heard new DA dex originally, but since this new tidbit I’m not 100%. I’m going to keep digging for new info.”

I am kinda hoping that the Interrogator Chaplain will have a head without the hood. I can get over that though, I want to get one regardless. With a little work (namely filing off some of the DA stuff), and possibly changing out that Power Fist (not sure on that), he will make a fine Crimson Fist. Though my distinct lack of Fists in my Crimson Fists (Pedro is the only one in my entire army, in fact), I might actually keep the fist. I need a chaplain for a Demi-Company if I am to eventually make a Battle Company.

Quite possibly the coolest thing to come out of the C:SM is that players are talking about putting together Companies and Demi-Companies. I think the last time I thought of fielding anything remotely resembling a Demi-company was in Rogue Trader, when mostly all I could get was infantry... LOL. Back then, they did not even have companies laid out, but I'm pretty sure I had at least 3 tactical 1 assault 1 devastator and some kind of character every game

I can't really justify a Battle Company, as it would require me to get lots more marines and transports. But you are right, the fact we might be seeing Tactical Squads on the field again as more than just a tax (well, they are a tax, but they come with free Razorbacks, so it pays off) is pretty cool. I have a Chaplain, but this one is a ton cooler. A little work, a nice Bolt Pistol arm, and a Sternguard Shoulder pad will make for a very nice Crimson Fist Chaplain. The hooded robes might grow on me too.
Pretty much everything looks like you would expect. The Deathwing Redemption Force has the makings of an army in and of itself. Hopefully a Ravenwing variation exists.
Hopefully there are some Deathwing Formations akin to the Ravenwing Formations and a Ravenwing Formation akin to the Deathwing Formation. I was kinda hoping the Deathwing and Ravenwing would get Strike Forces all to themselves, though. Still. with the Deathwing Formation you can basically create an all Deathwing army by using 1-2 of that Formation, using a Int-Chap or Librarian for the other one. Too bad that would be expensive as hell.

Sableclaw. Make of that what you will.
Sableclaw is Sammael's landspeeder.

No BK's in the Decurion seems strange... ruleswise.
Fluffwise, according to the novels, it fits perfectly -
Sammael and his Knights with the Ravenwing find the target, then retreat. Afterwards you send in the rest of the chapter with some Ravenwing only to function as Teleport Homers to bring in the Hammer.
The 3rd-10th company provide support and fight the "chaff", while the Deathwing secure the primary objective.
So I expect this Lion's Blade to represent the force sent after the *cough* target *cough* has been located.

This doesn't seem to be the worst around, but not QUITE flexible enough for my likes, particularly I COULD possibly work with that Deathwing setup, but not enough Venerable Dreadnought slots.
