SM1981 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 GW Released an expansion to the codex today. It's supposed to be a supplement that gives extra detail in their dackground, some extra formations, chapter relics, detachments, etc. Anyone got it yet / is it any good? Also is there anything in there that adds to a vanilla Blood Angels army? Basically what Im asking is it worth getting (in your opinions)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 http://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-40000/digital-exclusives/supplement-flesh-tearers.html Sounds like the stuff from Exterminatus. What is the Echoes of War thingy though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 If it is anything like the Blood Oath (Daemonkin/Ultramarine book) then they will be special scenarios to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Undoubtedly the Echoes of War missions are the same as in the Exterminatus book as well. Edit: the store description says 'The content within this book is taken from 'Leviathan' and 'Echoes of War: A Son's Burden'.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joasht Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I figured as much (since White Scars, Ravenguard and Cadia; the other three; are all in Mont'ka and Kauyon). Disappointing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The only disappointment is the implication that the rules/Formations in SoB are here to stay for longer in their current format. On the plus side, it's cheaper than buying Exterminatus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Antodeniel Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well, that would be good news IF there is real changes and new things, instead than a pale Copy/Paste of SoB book. Plus, for the chapter relics, i really hope they give FT 6 normal/good relics, instead of those very very poor 3 they had in SoB. (The first and third were too much tyranids oriented. RG and WS got at least relics that weren't tau oriented, but usable in others confrontations). So, i will wait for return and read it when it is available for DL, and only after that, should i decide to give it credits, if it deserve it. (I don't want to trow my money blindly into something that will surely be a simple copy/paste from SoB stuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Eh, it's just some clever monetisation on GWs part. Nothing to get worked up about IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Some sites are definitely from the shield of Baal exterminatus so i guess nothing new here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Well that's a disappointment. I was hoping that we might at least see some new formations to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strahn Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Brothers. I bought this today and as far as rules go everything looks the same. Nothing new from what I can tell. I'm at work and I'll give it a closer look at home but nothing earth shattering. They do have a bit more back story but nothing for the tabletop. I myself was disappointed that there wasn't more.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Well, for people like me who don't want to spend all the money for Shield of Baal: Exterminatus, I guess this is a good thing. A little bit disappointing that there's nothing new in it though. How many formations are in this book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 On a related note I was reading over the Raven Gaurd Codex promo spam, and saw that GW are saying that the formations / etc within can be used by any and all space marine chapters. Now that could be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 On a related note I was reading over the Raven Gaurd Codex promo spam, and saw that GW are saying that the formations / etc within can be used by any and all space marine chapters. Now that could be interesting... I believe it's only armies from Codex: Space Marines that can take them, going off how it's written in Mont'Ka. Basically it just says that you don't have to use the Raven Guard Chapter Tactics to use the Raven Guard formations, only to get the detachment. Nothing about them being available to a Blood/Dark Angels army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 You can take a Blood Angels detachment and one of the Formations as a separate detachment; the Formation just won't necessarily have the same command benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 And any units in the formations use the rules and point costs from Codex: Space Marines instead of Codex: Blood Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 That's pretty much what I meant. Still getting used to phrasing it the right way. So yes, you can take a Blood Angels CAD, or a formation from SoB, but the models in a Mont'Ka formation (White Scars or Raven Guard) must all be taken from Codex: Space Marines.
