Incoming Blood Angels

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.



Seems like it isn't a year without a SM release

[The Refined Gentleman (M.I.A)]

Ah, GW you do amuse me so...

It's about freakin' time. I don't see why they couldn't release this alongside something else, though.

[commissargaunt]

Blood angels, because Dark Eldar just aren't allowed nice things. Or a workable codex.

[Vice-Shogun Himura]

well the WD update sucked

[The Envoy (AWOL)]

It really did. Especially since everything in it was highly overpriced and inefficient for what the cost of fielding the units were.

[nicholasakira]

If they're only going to throw us one piece of art, couldn't they give us a better picture?

"Oh, assault marines, I'll bet the fans haven't seen any of those before."

[Makarova (M.I.A)]

Especially since that picture is really old, have seen it several times before.

[ElegaicRequiem]

I would rather they put their energies into making some sweet plastic stuff, and making a legit codex. I hope Phil Kelly's writing it.

[cheminhaler]

I'm with Requiem on this. They need a re-vamp (OK that was pretty lowdown).
New art would have been good. Who are we kidding? GW employs artists... what are they going to be doing in April? Twiddling their thumbs? Obviously there will be new art!

[ElegaicRequiem]

And if you really want to be impressed, look at the Incoming: Blood Angels article for some old art. It's either offensive or awesome depending on your view of such things. Although, I have to say that Dante looks like some '60s cheap sci-fi villain in it.

[Lt. Erwin]

I love that picture, solely for the guy in the upper right who's just kinda... wandering off. I'm thinking that somewhere in that ruined cityscape, there's a taco stand about to make a lot of money.\



Assuming they use yells of "Give them to me or I'll chop your head off!" as currency on that planet.

Most vendors tend to be more then happy to accept that as payment.

*Dante activates trap door and laughs maniacally as the Inquisitor plummets to his death in the Vampire Bio-labs, then resumes stroking his white Persian cat*

[ranwulf]

Huh... I will need more glue.














OH MY GOD!

*faints*














Just kidding, I heard about that a long time ago. But I AM happy anyway!
