Charlo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 By the looks of 7th Edition Codicies, the running theme appears to be a big Central figure taking up most if not all of the cover. I Hope for us it is a DC, or some really nice Lemartes art. Although I doubt that as it will most likely have to be Red power Armour, so most likely an Assault Marine or the like.

InquisitorBlack Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 That cover was posted on one of the rumour blogs in may. Obviously a fake, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/tUYuZiF.jpg ? Lol. I made that cover for my blog. Not real. Sorry dudes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I'm hoping the big kit is that assault ramp skimmer that was rumored on Naftka's blog a few months back. That would be sweet and would fill the slot for big expensive kit. You mean just like the Space wolf one that was released not too long ago... Technically that was a flyer. If memory serves the rumor was for a skimmer/tank. Believe me, I know the odds of this happening are less than prices going down, but I can dream!

TheHarrower Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks for the Harrower (hopes were up for a second, but thanks for letting us know!) No problem. I don't want to go through the same debacle we did last time with the fake Codex. I'll post an update on my blog to let people know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrahawk Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Hahah, I still remember that debacle. Wonder if we'll see Viktor and Unholt or Faustian philosophies this time around. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 You know what I really wanted to have from that fake codex? Dev squads with astartes launchers. I would totally rock some rapid fire grenade launchers instead of heavy weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour is rumour, when someone is typing stuff down to post online, or has glimpsed snatches of a model, the difference between a flyer and skimmer is minimal. The term 'skimmer' has been around a lot longer than 'flyer'. I personally cant see us getting another one. SW didn't get the Raven, we may get the Talon to make up for losing the Raven to Space marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I haven't seen this mentioned yet in the thread, so, the codex will be named, "Adeptus Astartes: Blood Angels," instead of just "Blood Angels" this time. They're the first SM dex to get the mandatory rebranding, a la Astra Militarium for the Imperial Guard. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW didn't get the Raven, we may get the Talon to make up for losing the Raven to Space marines. I can see where you are coming from and agree that the differences between skimmer and flyer are minimal; however, I don't think you'd describe a Stormclaw as a tank.

Valerian Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I asked the same question, but didn't get a good answer. Once Astra Militarium was released in the spring, I figured we'd all be getting our High Gothic names for all future releases. Nothing else known yet.

Orblivion Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Maybe it has something to do with the Space Wolves completely ignoring the Codex? They are still Astartes regardless of that fact, but maybe this is a way to differentiate them a little more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Conflicting rumours: BA are indeed pegged for a mid-november release but there will be little or even no model releases at all.If there is anything released expect either plastic reclusiarch or sang priest. But no new squad kits or vehicles. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That rumor makes much more sense than BA specific terminator box etc. I'm guessing possibly a rework of 2nd/3rd edition pewter/failcast models and a sanguinary priest plastic will likely be all.

marine7312000 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I could care less about WHAT is released. I want to know for sure WHEN the codex will be released. With that being said, I have already let my wife know that if a BA/ ??? box is released that I will be buying it. Anything that isn't a limited edition can wait until after I've moved and settled in.

GrunTeufel Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A question came up today which made me shiver with dread. What if they randomize red thirst. Like what if they give it a table of its own. A d3 or a d6 table. And bad things might happen if you roll 1 or 2. I hate randomized stuff so I would prefer it if they leave the rule as it is.

Charlo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A question came up today which made me shiver with dread. What if they randomize red thirst. Like what if they give it a table of its own. A d3 or a d6 table. And bad things might happen if you roll 1 or 2. I hate randomized stuff so I would prefer it if they leave the rule as it is. Unless we saw drastic power increases or points reductions to accommodate what could be (in worst case scenario) the equivalent of rolling spawn-hood on the Chaos boon table, I think as loyalists we see a somewhat high level of stability in our units. Just look at the Chapter Tactics of the vanilla codex, all are incredible and don't seem to have affected the base cost of the units within'. To sound jealous (like many of my black raged brothers ) The Raven Guard's jump pack affecting tactic would be perfect for BA in conjunction with perhaps a slightly buffed red thirst, instead of the scout/ stealth rule. The current scattering only D6 is nice but not game breaking when you have drop-pods widely available. I think D3 would be best with: 1-2 conferring no bonus, or perhaps something small as a consolation (not sure on what though) 3-4 giving a nice buff like Furious Charge or Relentless depending on an Assault or Shooting role respectively. 5-6 offering full on thirst mode conferring the Rage rule. Probably not very balanced, but it's just a quick idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 or... they could make the red thirst work like dark eldars pain rule now works? blood angels start out with essentially no chapter tactic, but each turn gain benefits to those that are still alive, would acutally make sense if the blood angels/dark eldar rumoured boxed set turns out to be true too!

As long as there isn't a downside. I don't want my devastators to abandon their positions again. I had enough of that in the 3rd/4th edition.
