Slave to Darkness Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Arriving a little late with my contribution to the discussion so forgive me but SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL!!!

LutherMax Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I agree. I just don't understand the rage against it. Because our 5th ed codex came before the re-working of the Necron fluff. It made zero sense at the time considering how Necrons had been portrayed until then. In hindsight it works much better because Ward worked on both books and knew what was coming. History always need context. ;) Sure, but it's been a while. I know the Imperium is a stagnant organization, but do the fans need to behave the same way? No, they don't.

Aqui Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was thinking Seth. I'm rather shamed to admit that I forgot that I got metal Seth (never painted with flash still on model) I just hope that if it is a supplement for him, that it's available for those of us who don't use itunes Looking forward to seeing the Tactical squad up close and the Sanguinary priest, although he's a good looking model, there is something not quite right about him...

Sete Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well the nipples are a turn off. (Lol never thought saying that) Maybe the rules can be used for a DIY assault army.

ElectricPaladin Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Ahem.... Nipples and pliers.... I don't think my mind will ever be the same again! I (well, a character of mine) once had a nipples and pliers moment during a CthulhuTech game. I think I traumatized my wife, who was also a player in said game. She hasn't played CthulhuTech with me since then...

simison Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have 3 squads of Sanguinary Guards. I would love it if they were only 160 or 165 points!

Ovidius Incertus Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Based on this advent calendar, can I expect the codex to drop on my birthday? Happy birthday to me! Or will it be the arrival of my pre-ordered Deathstorm set? OR BOTH!?!

Jorre Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I dont like to get to far ahead of my self with new releases and unconfirmed info, but Damn if Sang guard are around 165 a squad I will be super happy! I've been collecting Blood Angels since 2nd edition, and I can't wait to build a completely fresh and cohesive army on 32mm bases!

ElectricPaladin Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Man... 165 points for a sanguinary guard squad... I think that might very well put them on the table for me. Put 'em down with a jump captain and a librarian to cast quickening on him!

bushman101 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 getting super excited! we've kinda needed cheaper Sang Guard. 2+ save is nice but not for the points Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299805-the-new-what-will-2014-bring-thread/page/17/#findComment-3876891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That was always the thing with running elite slots like the Sang Guard. The points added up and at the end of the day, a 2+ is nice but no invulnerable save always had me opting out with them for the points the cost. I love the models and the idea of them is really great, so here's to them getting a price break!! The new Priest model looks killer!! I love the crowned collar and the very unique chainsword!! I'm getting very excited about this release!!

BAjim Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I struggled with 6th edition rules and having more fun with 7th. NOW it gets better: just bought a Relic Sicaran battle tank and ordered new Deathstorm box set to split with a Tyrannies buddy. Hanging out for Saturday to read latest White Dwarf, then get the new Codex. DAMN I'm happy!

Mostwanted Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm not a negative person and I'm fairly easily pleased with releases but for some reason I'm feeling a bit disappointed with this. There were only 2 things I really wanted, a new assault squad and a new Sanguinary Priest model. It was implied at a games day when the new Tactical Squad came out by someone talking to one of the sculptor's that they would be re done. I think this BA release would have been perfect for them. We don't really need any new units so this could have filled out the release a bit more and would have pleased other SM players at the same time. Yes we are getting a new priest model but why not be more creative with it rather than make it look like a newer Corbs? Why have they given it the exact same lay out? Its not Corbolo as some people still seem to think. Because of the wargear and design this says to me Corbs is either being dropped from the codex or the design is very lazy. As I've said before I really dislike the robe and why have what looks like a big chain hanging between your legs inside the robe? It looks silly and impractical (yes I do know a lot of things aren't practical in this game). The only good bits for me are the arms. Although the cover of the codex looks great its spoilt by the marine being the wrong way round. Again this just seems really lazy to me. The tactical squad looks good and gives us a lot more BA specific bits but it does appear that a lot of the bits are the same as we already have, eg the back packs and shoulder pads mostly look the same. Although I'm pleased we are getting an update, I just feel it could have been a little better done. I'm now more excited for when Forgeworld get round to us.

psychodough Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 And what about the rumoured wheeled vehicle and the alt baal predator load out? Maybe they are on the way as part of a second wave i guess time will tell. I really hope there will be more BA releases past this wave of goodies.

Sviox Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm a bit worried that this sanguinary priest who looks like Corbulo but is advertised as sanguinary priest might mean bye-bye for Corbulo as a named SP. If you think of the current GW direction (i.e. getting rid of finecast, plastics everywhere), the amount of special characters in BA range is a bit high at the moment so 'downgrading' some to generic versions might be preferable for them.

I had the same thought. I hope not... but fact is, Corbulo isn't the most compelling character to me, fluff-wise. He's pretty cool, but not a Dante or a Mephiston or a Lemartes.
