Blood Angels Reboot in April!


Gw have officially announced that the Blood Angels will be revamped and released in April!

Taken from the newsletter:
"Incoming! Blood Angels

This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.

The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red."



If they have good Psycher options this my solve my 'Counts As' dilema for the Soul Reapers on the competitive scene. Also if the really can also run more dreads than anyone, I would love to have a horde of Forge World Chaos Dreads! So if these two things happen expect a ton of BA related info here on GiF!

  1. It is harder to tell who is happier, you or Snake-Eyes. I think I could actually hear slobbering over the phone with all the talk of more assault and more dreadnoughts!

  2. Yeah, I am pretty excited. I'm also curious to see what they do with BA Tactical Marines too.

    I really don't wanna proxy the Reapers as Wolves, because I will eventually have a fully painted Wolf army.

    While I dig the Space Vampires feel of the BA, I would never build a proper army of them. As I have too many Marine armies already.

    Now don't get me wrong I can and have been making the Chaos Marine codex work, but it really sucks having to run Cult Marines to make a competitive list. just using basic CSM's makes for a lot of fore thought when building lists and playing.

    Besides the Chaos codex has no Anti-psychic ability and it is really starting to show it's age.
