A very Important Distinction


ContemptuousAngel

Recommended Posts

Did anyone else notice that "Blood Angels" is actually the subtitle of our codex? The full title is "Codex Adeptus Astartes Blood Angels." By contrast, the SW codex is titled "Codex Space Wolves."

Does this mean we can take options from Imperial Armour V2 assigned to Codex Space Marines? Am I just reaching in the vain hope to be able to use my expensive ass models and book?

Just get the 'Sanguinary Guard' edition. You know, the one with a tactical marine on the front *roll eyes* compared to the vanvet on the standard dex.

 

Sanguard ed just says codex Blood Angels. So I guess I'm gonna miss out.

Actually it says that on the front but on the spine it says adeptus astartes - blood angels. Winner.

Eh, someone will come and argue with you that Space Marines =/= Adeptus Astartes because RAW.

 

Eh, there is people arguing that Centurions can embark on a drop pod bought as a dedicated transport by a Thunderfire Cannon. If we take everything at RAW value, we would be scumbags indeed.

correct, however Forgeworld are working on FAQs currently that will make it legal to blood angels, I have an email from them saying exactly that and that I should consider it legal in games till the FAQ comes out. (I'll paste email later on).

this has been a dodgy subject for me, I've pestered them about it at every event, and via email a few times, they mentioned around april time that we'd get an FAQ making it legal eventually, I quoted them on it last month and they confirmed the team are working on FAQs currently as the main books are written right at this moment.

this was from September

Hi there.

Our rules team are actually working on a series of FAQs and errata now (as they are in between book releases) including the various areas of the Space Marines that we need to look at. However, we can confirm that Storm Eagles can and will be used by Blood Angels armies so please treat them as such.

Hi Alsidair,

Thak you for your email. In answer to your questions:

1. The Blood Angel Contemptor Dreadnought has its own rules separate from the standard Contemptor. You'll find these in Imperial Armour Apocalypse
2. The Blood Angels can take both the Storm Eagle and Fire Raptor, we will be updating the FAQ in the near future to reflect this.
3. We have not yet looked at the Blood Angels in the Heresy era, we will certainly be looking at them for a future Horus Heresy book.
