The Milkman Of Baal Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 In addition to the FT showing up fighting the nids, has anyone else noticed what the Toxicrene is standing on? That's right, a BA terminator that comes with the box. Excellent... EDIT: Looks like a nice sculpt too, I'll be trying to get my hands on one of those! Hints at BA 1st Co involvement fighting the nids? http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Toxicrene This has been discussed. I see no reason to believe that it's a hint, to be honest. Bases get weird stuff all the time. The new thousand sons helmet on the base of thunder wolf cavalry led to new thousand sons models, there's actually a lot of precedent here. EDIT: I will surely acquire one of these from a bitz site; will make for an excellent target marker.. Thats what I'll be using them for when i get my new gribblies.

I can't remember any new TS models being released, except for that re-pack of the "upgrade sprue". Might be mistaken, but I really can't remember.

The Yncarne Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What new t-sons models came out? I thought it was just a torso and helmet on the base. It's why I find BA terminator models unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Wolves Codex on August 1st. It's a safe bet to say that we should have everything in a month or so (by year's end). As to what, I doubt we'll get nothing like the Grey Knights release. You don't spend all this time building up a campaign and having the Blood Angels be the focus of it without releasing new kits. I'd imagine the release will be comparable to the Space Wolves.

A new flyer, a new dreadnought kit that brought with a resculpt of an old character and a new character, some resculpted characters - one of them radically imagined - and...? Was that it?

I think that covers it, yeah. I would expect something similar. We don't really need any new units. By that theory, I'd guess... • New Dante, Mehpiston, and Tycho. • New flyer in the stormtalon range (ie. an air superiority fighter, not a gunship/transport). • MAYBE a new version of the dreadnought kit so that it includes the option for a character or two, like a return of Moriar the chosen? I have a hard time with this... the furioso/death company dreadnought box doesn't really need a revamp. • New assault marine box (good for everyone, but we'll use it more).

Jolemai Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Tycho looks good with a static pose and besides, GW are too afraid to tell him he needs a new model,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 It's not the staticness. It's the general sculpt. I think that a good range includes some models just standing there like a BAMF, for variety, but I think that modern GW can do better than whenever-GW.

sockwithaticket Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Until a reliable source says otherwise I'm unwilling to assume we'll get anything more than a codex and limited model in the campaign box. At a stretch I'll buy that we'll get a re-sculpted character and the vanilla assault marine box will come out, too.I feel like the plethora of new 'nid kits reduces the possibility of us getting much new stuff.

Charlo Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Who else would like them to give us good options for a Chapter Master? Just so people with Successors can create their own with some nice BA (or maybe even generic) Relics and bad-ass stat-line, because let's face it, the captain sucks. Would be nice so we don't have to ALWAYS have a Reclusiarch/ Librarian or Special Character "Count As" If my wish isn't heeded I shall just have to continue using the Malakim Phoros rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to release models for an older army why would they ignore one of their best selling armies (ie Space Marines)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves have so many items that they can take for their commanders while ours are a little better than a veteran sergeant. I want to be able to take a death mask, an artificer armor and some new relics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 my guess is: a new assault marine kit (because its one of the only kits in the marine range still needing an update) update for 1, maybe 2 of our characters, i doubt any more than that will be updated... maybe a new flyer kit, but tbh, i actually highly doubt it. i.e. I don't really see us getting anything specifically blood angel beyond maybe a character or two, anything else is likely to be generic marine that happens to be painted some shade of red for the release. I still feel that the Sanguinor would make a far better LoW than Mephiston, the Sanguinor could have a larger-than-marine model (rather than the pipsqueak he is now) and be in a dynamic flying pose. The guy beats up major blood thirsters in the fluff afterall. I hope DC tycho and mephiston regain IC status, I'd be happy if nothing else changed about mephiston tbh. Dante needs to strike at init, or have eternal warrior, or both, replace the dodgy mask rule with something strategic as is befitting one of the greatest strategists of 40k. outside of that, i imagine points reductions and other stuff brought in line with regular marines.

Well I think there's the distinction to make between us and SM, I can see them introducing another vanilla kit (maybe rejigged devastators to make them compatible with the new tactical plastics) alongside new assault marine rather than additional BA stuff. Then again, I am a massive pessimist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd be all over that too. Or, I'll take a significant price reduction on Dante since my Chapter Master is already modeled to function as a counts-as Dante w/ jump pack, infernus pistol, and axe.

Xenith Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I thought the nipples were what made it BA? That and the bronze tan. Regular marines don't have such sculpted bod's. If there's a boxed set...this will be interesting. I'd have to weigh up buying that to get the (hopefully) exclusive character model, but I hope the other models in there will be useful. Maybe the new assault squad? I reckon death co, furioso dread, assault squad, character. That would be a immediate purchase from me. £75 for the box + 30 for the codex I can manage.
