What will you be doing in preparation for the codex to drop?

[Brother_Mike]

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Codex: Blood Angels will be making its Angelic Descent by the end of the year. So in an effort to motivate myself to paint again, I am gonna force myself to paint up my Death Company Chaplain and Death Company marines by the time it's out. Having a sharp looking army for a sharp new codex is always a nice feeling.

 

Do you all have any plans in preparation for the new codex to come out? Wanna make a painting pact with me so we can guilt each other into actually painting things? Not just talk about painting things? :3

[Jolemai]

RTS vow.

Still time to join in if you fancy it:)

Trying to figure out how I'm going to buy it and the new Necromunda box without my wife finding out.

[Silverson]

in preparation for our codex to drop I sent,

 

Lemartes, leviathan dread, sanguinary guard x7, death company x7, company veterans with melta x4,  and 5 vanguard vets with plasma and chainsword off to be painted so be prepared for me to have given them the kiss of death and they all be poor come the codex. 

[9x19 Parabellum]

In preparation?

 

There's only one thing to do: Absolutely Nothing! (except paint the actual bodies you have...but not the weapons).

[brother_b]

I'm still working on my units. I just finished basecoating my Dev squad and started building my first MSU tactical squad. I'm torn between plasma gun or missle launcher. 

 

I'm going to finish my 5 man squad of melee scouts. I've got 3 done. Then for sure I'm going to paint my foot captain.

 

After that, not sure. Maybe a Dread or my DC. So much to do!

[Panzer]

What I will do? I will wait and hope the month goes over soon. :D

[Captain_Krash]

Praying to the emperor that we get access to Landspeeder Storms. I don't care about rules...just give me that blasted landspeeder!!!

[Bremon]

Painting the stuff I already have and not buying more until I get a handle on our new rules. Nothing worse than painting a unit and it hitting the table only to reveal that under the time and effort spent on painting is a flaming trash heap.

Meh. Wish we had them in 7th edition. 5 naked scouts popping out of assault vehicle; 15 str str 5 attacks for 55 pts would have been great.

Mrs Lazyj: "where did that box come from, I haven't seen it before?"

Lazyj: "what that?! Oh, I've had that in the garage for ages"

 

Get the delivery right and it works every time.

This, a hundred times. I've been clearing through all my standard models, and I've been working toward magnetizing some arms and weapons moving forward. Otherwise, trying to simultaneously avoid (1) getting my hopes too high up that they do us justice this codex, and (2) getting to depressed about the possibilities of bad rulesets. For now, I've found painting has greatly increased my ability to stay in this happy medium!

Can't help you with that one, pretty sure divorce will limit your 40k budget faster than your wife. I recommend practising a helplessly adorable look that results in her giving you what you want:

 

[brother_b]

I just use the ole "It's cheaper than a boat/sports car/motorcycle" line. Then I beg. 

[Karhedron]

I will try to go through my UFO pile and work what to paint first (probably the Storm Raven).

[Nova_chron]

Trying to find a space to work on the hobby again... (looks at like of resin and plastic in a box) soon

[Sawtooth]

Writing fluff to update my homemade Successor Chapter. I'm a little hesitant to buy any models until I see what we get, but I'll be practicing my updated paint scheme attempt on some minis I already have.

Ah... 'Games Workshop' is a charity that makes toys for under privileged children. 

See - they take a donation out of our account every month... 

[Blindhamster]

I should really crack on with the intercessors I'd started painting. So I'm ready for it!

[Charlo]

Pre-bagging up my stuff to send on an eBay penitence crusade for having such crappy rules ;)

 

But naw, if it turns out good I imagine i'll catch some BA fever again  

[Xenith]

I'm going to try and finish the tanks I started a couple of months ago, the Proteus and the Vindicator. That clears out all the half finished projects, then I can decide what to build next.
