There’s no new Nid models coming with the book, so probably not.

...except the first book brought with it TWO characters and TWO plastic units. So far, a pattern does not exist.

We know the releases from the leaked schedule though. Mephiston is the only new model coming with PA3.

First book got 2 units, 2 HQs.
Second book gets one HQ.
Third book has one HQ known so far.

We can’t draw any patterns with just two data points. Was the first book a fluke, or the second? If all we get is Mephiston, we can assume that level for most books.

Ninja’d, and proven wrong with facts. Nevermind...

Marneus has had three iterations in the time that Tycho, Dante, Ragnar, Ezekiel, Azrael, Asmodai, Corbulo etc have had one. Do GW not write new characters anymore? It seemed like back in the day when I bought codices that there were occasional new characters sprinkled in between editions. They just don't bother anymore or what?

Who really cares about Corbulo and Asmodai though? They're fun fluff pieces but serve no purpose in game.

The book has to have a ton of rules for Blood Angels (unless they are planning on doing a relaunch of the codex) as they will have to catch up to the other standard marine codexes. This means Doctrines, a Super Doctrine, Litanies, new super characters (as marines just received). So before people start screaming "more marines, wut?!" just realize where BA are currently, what they will need to be on par with other marines, and maintain expectations accordingly.

What is interesting is this will lead off for other marine chapters. If it's a full update, then Wolves (next) DA, DW and GK can expect the same when their books drop.

I think next year we will see SW vs Orks (known), DA vs Fallen, DW vs Tau, GK vs Daemons (not sure on order of latter 3). Just my expectations. I also think DA vs Fallen will also bring in the Gravis armour wave for marines (tie in with Deathwing since it was revealed in WD that they are using Gravis in DW now)

Well of course lots of people are going to go FFS MORE Marines as the Core Marines are almost certain to get a lod more stuff = as they did in PA2.

And then apparently the same for PA4, 5, 6, 7..............

technically all BA need is the Docterine and Litanies as they already have far more characters than any supplement Chapter. They are getting a new Mephiston apparently - which should be cool.

I don't think we will see any more for Core Marines, just the ones left behind (BA, DA, SW, DW, GK). Exception being whenever they decide to release their Gravis wave.

Yeah we wouldn't want a faction with "marines " in the name to have inferior rules to other "marines ".

That might imply that gw plays favorites.

Technically Corbulo had two, the 'Sanguinary Priest' model looks exactly like him, only better, down to his relic chainsword. Really, names of both minis should be swapped. And what? No new characters? There were like 4 added in most recent edition of SM codex...

Well it's not like vanilla marines got a ton of rules in Shield of Baal. or the Fenris campaign books. while some of us might via Blood angels, dark angels etc as "just a glorified marines supplement" GW tends to view them as distinct armies

You seem a relaxed presenter, engaging with your followers and are quite knowledgeable about all things Chaos. Just keep up the good work and the ball rolling.

If you do run out of ideas and get bored, a Tzeentch/Thousand Sons guide would be great.

A Chief Apothecary supporting Centurions and/or Agressors with either of the WT and maybe even the 5++ relic could make them really resilient.
A Master of Sanctity with the 5+ ignore MW and +1 to hit/+1 to wound/5+ overwatch (for IFs) is also a great option to buff such a heavy infantry castle.
It's great to have choices here.

Plus you realize night lords aren't "garbage ". You understand how to use their trait. Try using it to soften up a big target for a hellforged Cerberus. Works great.

I agree with this 100%. Vigilus stuff felt like extra stuff for the forces that was optional. PA feels like a very inefficient way to do codex updates.
