Azekellon Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Is it just me, or is FW deliberately avoiding doing any Blood Angels models? All we've got is Termie shoulderpads, brass etching, and Land Raider/Rhino doors. Doesn't that just strike you guys as odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How is this news and rumors? Blood angels will get their time in the spotlight when the relevant portion of the Horus heresy rules series comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Its been like that for most of the big marine chapters until they get their hh rules release. Our book isnt likely to be for a while so no models as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathspectersgt7 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Wait 2 more years. At their current rate of releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramell Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The reports from the HH Weekender say Thramas and Signus may be included in the Shadow Crusade book (book six), which is to be released later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Does'nt mean that they will have models still no Corax or Dorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 God I just want rules. I can't wait for Sanguinius, I want them to do him right (and not mess up his face). But yeah I've set my current expectations at 2 years. That way I can hopefully be pleasantly surprised if we get rules sometime this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah, my biggest problem with the art we've been presented with gave him a not-so-awesome face :/ I have serious faith in FW though! BA models are going to be sweet! I'm more interested in their organization and back ground, though (instead of rules, I'd actually prefer models first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulkan and Ferrus Manus look cool, and Fulgrim looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Doesn't surprise me as odd at all. Considering how much love GW give the Blood Angels and have done so for a very long time, perhaps GW have kept their hands on the higher sales of the blood angels, allowing for FW to keep to the rarer and specialist market so as not to step on GW's mainstream products (up until 30k that is). Now I know that doesn't go for everything, ie there's some SW torsos and a dread for but one set of examples (believe me, I'm very jealous there's no FW BA Dread... I'd have bought it already if there was), but hey, we can't know everything in their reasoning. I hope they bring in some unique special characters for the Blood Angels. I'm not worried about new mech or Mordrid-squads (sang guard), nor about seeing Sang' as I am skeptical about his possible designs. I don't like faces on my marines, least of all having to paint them, so unless he sports a lovely helm or cowl covering it... I've been patiently waiting for a BA dread (or contemptor now) since FW started their chapter dreadnought range, but please, I just hope they don't go all GW on us and have contemptors sporting n*pple-armour! *ugh, I felt wrong just writing that!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't get the problem people have with the "nipple armor." I think that that armor is some of the best looking armor I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Yeah, my biggest problem with the art we've been presented with gave him a not-so-awesome face :/ Absolutely right, most of the artwork makes him look too pretty. :p I prefer this older artwork where he looks a lot more menacing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/pompeyladbfp/P9290002.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't think you guys get it about the BA and FW. For the longest time they had chapter upgrades on http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine_Chapter_Upgrade_Bundles?filter_reset=1. They are gone now. As in there are now 0 blood angel things on FW right now. Prelude to content you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Heresy Blood Angels will definitely be coming, and I have a feeling they'll be pretty sweet. It's just a question of when... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
