Blood Angels Rumor Roundup

[Patrick Boyle]

"Older plastic space Marine sprues eh?" Hmm here's hoping for a plastic Techmarine then and perhaps an Honour Guard squad box too. A redone Space Marine Commander box would be good too that had more of the options inc Termy armour.

Given the first two of those kits aren't plastic, the description to me sounds more like say, Assault Marines and Devastators, the molds for which are getting pretty worn out in the same way Tactical Marines were. I'd be doubtful of getting a new plastic commander too, given the trend for characters has been clamshells, but it's possible. It'd definitely be a treasure trove of fancy bits if it happens. It'd have to be, the current multi-part Commander, and command squad for that matter, look positively plain compared to the new Sternguard box.

I expect that Assault Marines are the #1 item up for a re-do on that list, as they're very old and very sad.

Assault Marines are rather likely. Probably a 5 pack for $40, with less bling but more basic power weapons and pistol options than the Vanguard.
Razorback is also a potential old kit that could use a replacement- drop the old turret and hatch sprues, add a new style turret that is more like the FW one and give it all the turret weapon options.

Doubt Devs would get a new kit, theirs is only about 8 or so years old

Maybe not the whole kit, though I could see them repacking to replace the old Tactical Marine sprues that provide legs, torsos, shoulder pads, etc., though the layout of the new Tac Marine boxes would make doing that kind of split tricky for 5 models...

Hey Guys,

So I play BA but I don't follow the GW rumors to a tee.

Just curious if we have a more specific date for this codex? I'm not seeing anything in my search.

[fireangel]

Is there a specific date on this release, or even a quarter that we can expect to see it released during?

Anyone heard anything new on this, other than the DE-dex typo? I've got a buddy who plays BA and is in desperate need of some good news

Next 3 weeks are Fantasy End times supposedly. We see from there.
