I´m alittle curios of what new rules they might give to the Blood Angels. ninja
Wouldn´t be cool if the Death-company marines and chaplains would works in
a sameway as 13th-company wulfens and rune priests? biggrin

Choosing the easy path over the hard one.

Well seeing how most of my friends hate the DA new rules, and the new blood angels ones are supposed to be similar, they are going to get really nerfed... probably by taking out the furioso's tear attack on vehicles...

I wasnt aware the Blood Angels were going to start having sexual relations with each other. I may just have to look into them now.

Oh noes! I have yet to see anyone use a furioso seriously. Its still a dread, and therefore pretty useless unless youre doing a drop pod assault (more so without any big guns on it while it trudges forward). You dont know the rules yet, so just relax and wait. Losing one ability off of a close combat dread isnt going to end it. Though I too would be worried about them being "Streamlined" like the DA were.

Blood Angels needed serious downtone, the way they got all furious charge for free, and Black-clad death company being their free steamroller...

.....with the cost of some models being taken from your army and placed in
the death-company or loosing them totally, due to the
"roll more death-company models to your army" rule. ninja

you know-- the new blood angels rules are far from "nerfed":

death company are no longer free and have lost power weapons/fists but gained rending to their close combat attacks

land speeders are 0-1 unit, but can upgrade multimeltas for free. and IIRC, a blood angels tornado can have a multimelta and an assault cannon.

assault marines can be taken as troops

the blood angels HQs are insane-- dante gives the preferred enemy skill to all units with a model within 12'' against the enemy army (chaos killer if I ever heard one)

attackbikes can upgrade to a multimelta for free

baal predators gain overchaged engines, and can move 12'' and still fire

blood angels librarians get a psychic power called "wings of sanguinius" that allows them to make a 12'' move- even if they're wearing terminator armor.

you can now have a Venerable Death Company Furioso dreadnaught (like a furioso, except gets +D3 attacks in close combat and has venerable skill)

drop pods are cheaper.

oh yeah, blood angels are so nerfed. rolleyes

I hate to break this blood angel thing up, but I have a few questions regarding the "Soul Drinkers" chapter.
1. Are they playable?
2. Are they Actual SM or are they chaos? Since I saw the novels I thought they looked really cool, but upon reading the back of the novel Chapter War it said that the Soul Drinkers had a corrupted geneseed, and were hunted for it, then stabilised it, and got new recruits, but the recruits wanted to fight the Emporer. I never got the chance to read the novels, so I was hoping someone could tell me.

Ok, no there are no Soul Drinker rules. However you could make them using a chaos list, maybe a marine list, but chaos seems more appropriate.

As for your second question. Theyre still marines ofcourse, theyre just a renegade chapter. So if you made them with the chaos list, obviously you wouldnt use demons, or possessed, or things like that. The only reason youd use something like demonic gifts would be if you were representing some of the main characters from the first book.

well, you have to deck out Mephiston to get ld 10 psyker, death company doesnt get free jump packs anymore, and gives some vp's off, no more characters with terminator honors, 2 lightning claws, bike and mantle...
no more free furious charge for entire army, no morte free d6 " on 1s move...
Special chars are nice and all, but they also cost godly amount of points...
no more 9 tornado...
termies with 1 assault cannon only...
