RedemptionNL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well it does have the full 280pg hardback rulebook, so if you'd have to buy that anyway you can add that to the savings of the box.

Jolemai Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 What was the RRP for the previous hardback? £50? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/38/#findComment-4751409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 50 pound yes, although the current edition are 3 books (144, 128 and 208 pages), so I guess this new book will be somewhat cheaper. 30-40 pounds?

Warsmith Uveron Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yep Its going to be expensive. Sadly this may see my BA being put on the shelf for a few months as I get the funds to pick up the rules for them.

Jolemai Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Would be my guess too. We're past the era where everything BA had the "blood-" prefix to it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/38/#findComment-4751463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 You thinking of starting with your Chaos? (Our RTS event is still scheduled to start in September if you fancy some motivation for your BAs.) Yes, It's my Bigger force. and If the Index's are $25 a book I will need to drop 50 to get my BA's and Agents up and running. So focusing on my Chaos Forces lets me get that army ready, and then I can sort my BA's out later. September sounds like a good time to start working on them again as well.

vahouth Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It prolly has to do with Khorne A Crusade of Khorne? That would be a first... Besides, I thought that the Imperium is on the offensive now.

Damon Nightman Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I def already read somewhere that the blood crusade is a khorne thing but have no idea where... I'm so pumped for this edition to drop! No interest in the primaris marines really though... I'm just hoping SG end up being the beasts they should be...

Frater Antodeniel Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The Blood Crusade refers to the Armageddon War Zone incoming events : Since the warp rift tore through the heart of the galaxy, Armageddon has found itself directly in the path of The Blood Crusade, a vast legion of Khorne’s Daemons pouring into realspace. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/04/29/new-warhammer-40000-war-zone-armageddon/ ------------------------------------------------------ As for the Primaris, i'm not found of the new models. Those "Shotty Astartes 2.0" are not of my tastes. It feel like the model design is more "Heroic Fantasy in the future" rather than "The Grimdark future of the 40k millenium". But Hopefully : Travel through the Cicatrix Maledictum is all but impossible, but sporadic contact has been made, through temporary warp-routes, to a few of the best-defended worlds on the other side – and things are not looking good. On the far side of the galaxy-spanning warp storm, things have quite literally gone to hell. There, the light of the Astronomicon is obscured behind a psychic maelstrom of nightmares and the entire region has been dubbed ‘Imperium Nihilus’, or the Dark Imperium. Amongst the besieged Imperial worlds in this Dark Imperium are many Space Marine Chapter Planets, including Baal, home of the Blood Angels. Things were already looking pretty grim for the sons of Sanguinius, with a hive fleet closing in on them, and now it looks even bleaker. Cut off from the light of Terra, the Angels and their Successors stand unbowed against the might of Hive Fleet Leviathan, hoping they can withstand the storm. So following the new fluff, it quite unlikely that Primaris will take part at the defense of Baal. (Maybe a few will make it to Baal...) vahouth and Damon Nightman 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/38/#findComment-4751495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) It prolly has to do with Khorne A Crusade of Khorne? That would be a first... Besides, I thought that the Imperium is on the offensive now. Consider the Imperiums Crusade like the Battle of the Bulge or the 100 day offensive. Yes, they are offensives, but they are basically the last push of a crumbling empire. They also took place at the same time of other offensives against themselves. There are plenty of times in history where offensives had take place at the same time from both sides :p Edited May 23, 2017 by Arkangilos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333154-8th-edition-ba/page/38/#findComment-4751579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

simison Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Oh, I hope I have enough money come June to buy the new rulebook and the Blood Angel rules. But I'm actually more curious how this will affect Horus Heresy. Angelus is supposed to be the next book and would have finally given us rules for The Angel himself and the BA Legion in all of its glory. Will they still be in 7th? Will they be in 8th? Will the book have to be pushed back to update the rules?

Templates, counters, objective cards, psychic cards, dice, etc. I could've gotten me another Drop Pod instead to say the least... Did you ever use these in a game? Then money not wasted. Money on dice is totally wasted, though, they're invalidated by the new game, you have to write numbers on bits of paper and pull them out of a bag. Edit: Movement rules for advancing: "Roll a dice" Derp, do they mean 'die' singular, or can I roll multiple, it doesn't specify it has to be a D6 so I can roll my D100, Game broken.

RedemptionNL Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 http://i.imgur.com/ZfJXaLv.png Ok, they're growing on me. If they're basically like a mobile and tough - but shorter ranged - squad of devastators they might actually find a place in my army. Seems like something the Blood Angels would like to adopt.
