BA Today

[Leonaides]

Congrats! After you're in settled routines I always found my part of the nite shift good for assembly or painting in between feeds.

Not exactly Blood Angels-related, but I suppose it has to do with one type of “hobby”:

 

My wife gave birth to a healthy girl this morning at 12:20am local.

Congratulations!

[Dont-Be-Haten]

That's awesome! Congrats!

Congrats! A tiny BA player to teach!

[Jønke]

Congrats on the new ally of the imperium indefragable!

 

Hopefully we get some new models that you will be able to paint up during your maternity leave

[Arkaniss]

Congrats Indy! That's great news! One more person to introduce to the plastic crack cult

[Silverson]

Congratulations dude

[Majkhel]

Congratulations!!! :D

After looking through the IF supplement and knowing that flesh tearers have been in last few codices; we can assume if we get a supplement, it will like the fists meaning more than likely the successors or at least the flesh tearers will have access to more of the book than the parent chapter.

 

If we simply get a few new rules from the 3rd book, I'm thinking it will be somewhat like vigilus. CP for formation with a splash or goodies.

[Indefragable]

Thanks for all the wishes about my becoming a dad!

 

Back on topic, part conspiracy theorist, part hopeful of me is that Dante finally gets some worthy rules; the updated Apocalypse data sheets have Dante being so woefully underpowered that I have to think something’s around the corner).

[Spagunk]

Well okay then:

 

Kind of surprised they have both the DC and SG in there.

Curious about the price point since together this is about 261 USD total.

I'm actually quite disappointed in the battleforce box. I've mostly stayed away from Primaris, sticking with the original marines. I was going to use this battleforce to jump into the primaris side of things. I, like most people who collect Blood Angels, have probably got the characters and enough Death Company and SG as well as Baal Predators (well I know I definitely have!) and don't need more of them. It's great for someone just starting Blood Angels but not for me.

[Leonaides]

Swing and a miss for me too. Got enough of all of these models already.

This is exactly why my plan was also, oh well at least get a new mephiston

[Spagunk]

Not my current project but I do have need for more DC and more intercessors to flush out my 40k army. That said, 40k is on hold anyway so I'm not likely to find this box when I am ready to do more work.

 

P.S. Also worth considering: If rumors hold true, box may be 185 which is a $75 discount versus buying each individually.

No interest in the set for me.

 

Have moved away from non primaris now as I just dont like the mixed look. A shame but not really surprising

[Panzer]

It's a great box, however not really something most of us would still need.

[Djangomatic82]

Hmmmm, I can almost see picking this up as a big bitz box. But if its around the 200 CAD range, it will probably be a pass for me unless Blood of Baal bring something amazing for DC.

[Majkhel]

From my point of view, an interesting box all in all. Intercessors already aplenty everywhere, but useful. Aditional BA upgrade sprue inside is nice! DC and SG are good as is the chaplain. But addition of a barely useable termie Captain and (poor, poor) Baal Pred is meh.

[Indefragable]

Anyone who has played BA at all over the past few years has likely got at least one of each of the kits in that box already, if not more.

 

However, if someone woke up one day and wanted to start BA from scratch, it isn’t the worst way in the world to start.

[Xenith]

No interest. Big disappointment. Missed opportunity for the Primaris chaplain and apothecary instead of 2 characters many of us have already. I already have like 3 Karlaens.

[Spagunk]

I mean, I wouldn't say no to another Baal pred but I'm not sure what to do about that BA Captain. Only so many things that can be done to that poor kit.

 

However the primaris start collecting box is a real good addition to the base Dark Imperium box.

[The Unseen]

It's good for what it is, a start collecting box.

Well, except for the Baal Pred, but that's just cause it's rules are currently very sad

[Karhedron]

From memory, these Christmas bundles rarely include very new models. Most of the kits have been out for at least a year or two.

True, but often they include models you either don't mind getting more of or don't necessarily already have. How many DC or Sanguinary Guard does one really need? Or Karleans that have been in so many boxes already (kinda like CSM Bikes). Or Intercessors 2 years after their release?
