Recommended Posts

 

 

All the Blood Angel datasheets have been leaked. It FEELS like everything has been made slightly worse and we have gained very little. No access to regular Marine units like centurions etc either.

 

You have a link for those?  I don't see them in our Rumors section yet.

 

No link...Theyre all on a Blood Angel facebook group I am active in. 

 

This is a link to the group if it helps:

Not gonna help unless my join request is approved. :(

FOR GODS SAKE GAMES WORKSHOP.

 

YOU GIVE BA THE IMPERIAL SPACE MARINE RULES, A MODEL YOU CANNOT EVEN BUY ANYMORE BUT DON'T GIVE US THE CATAPHRACTII OR TARTAROS?

 

SERIOUSLY?

i think mephistons good but lacks pace

the librarian dreadnought is good

i like the priests 

dante and sanguinor will murder stuff and we can protect them with jump pack comand squads

combi weapons on sargent are good, its just like having two melta guns in one 5 man squad

death company with power axes and jump packs are ok 

all the tanks got better (twin-link assault cannons) yes please

 

looking at the new rules where not in a bad place with the pistols and characters we are definatly going to be one of the faster armies..

 

deploy all the jump packs and characters behind vechiles and use drop pods for dropping melta squad to take out big stuff

Whoever played BA when they play tested 8th edition must have double down on drop pods. Because everything I have seen so far has been a straight up nerf to every single unit.

 

Seriously, we gained in points yet again but got knocked power wise again for each and every unit.

 

My only hope is that later this year we get bumped up when they revisit our codex. This is real depressing.

 

Also, how confusing is it to have your banner bearers as individual units.

 

Only saving grace is that I don't see how you can NOT use heavy flamers on devastators.

103 pts per Drop Pod!!!

 

 

Yeah... Hits the BA CC Dreads quite hard. Also, the standard shooty Dreads that don't need pods are a lot cheaper. 

Twin Las/H.Flamer Dread is looking a lot better than the BA ones

 

I'm a bit underwhelmed to be honest. Was expecting more in terms of balance and flavour. No unique BA detachments ?

I guess we have to wait for the codex for that *sigh*

 

Lemartes is a given with DC I guess, but even with a charge re-roll you're still likely to fail that 9" charge from Deep Strike
