the blood claw pack size's are the same from 3rd ed codex, what has changed, is their cost has gone up, for upgrades, and they've reduced the amount you get, in 3rd ed. you could get 1 PW or 1 PF per 5 guys (rounding up). Now it's just 1. same with the wolf guard, they no longer get 1 heavy weapon per 3 dudes. no 3 assault cannons or cyclone missles for 7 termys.

'Back in the day' (Rogue Trader era) I started out with Blood Angels, so I agree that they were, and still are a chapter with a large following. They do need their 'Dex sorting out. Nowadays though, my army of choice is templars, as I like their 'ethos' so to speak. Still have a soft spot for BAs though, so bring on the new Codex. They'll give my Templars someone to spar with. =)

660pts if you max it out with everyone equipped with twin LCs, Jump Packs and Melta-bombs. Don't have Codex handy, but that's about the most I've been able to 'cook up', unless I've missed something obvious of course, (which wouldn't be the first time). Kinda like the old 'Shrike's Wing'.
As regards practicality, depends how you use them and your opponent tries to deal with them. They'd be horrific, I think, if you teamed them up with Shrike himself. =(
As a Templars player, I'd love to have an assault squad like this. Don't get me wrong though, Storm Shields are great on 'jump-packers' (even without the 3+ inv nerf). If you can imagine the above vanguard squad with preferred enemy, then you know why I'd want them, even if only for Apoc games. =)

I have to agree with you on that one. First off; the 'Vanillas' get our Emp's Champ (Chapter Champ), and then SWs get larger Blood Claw squads, removing a little of our Crusader squads "uniqueness". Does kinda piss me off just a bit. Just gotta stay with the 'Templar Love'.

As a Flesh Tearer player I'd like for it to be the successor chapters in with the BA's.

Its what the Ultramarine book does after all and it would explain the new IC's.

ANd those of us who do play Dark Eldar are winning games just fine without any lousy update. Now the models and fluff are another matter but I'd just as soon be ignored as have GW nerf the army.

Not to mention it clears one more codex off the board with a broken use of preferred enemy. Next up, Black Templar. The rumor WAS BT/BA codex.

To be honest, none of this surprises me at all, regardless of what marine codex comes after Blood Angels (if its true).

GW has been doing a painful series of cuts and reorganizations to bring itself back into profitability, and 2010 is the year to really try to rake in some fruit from their efforts.

Marines are the company's bread and butter and have the highest profitability (by far). Tyranids are said to be the most popular xenos species.

They just tee-ed up both armies with Space Hulk (which sold in record time). It doesn't take a genius to see how they would want to capitalize on its coat-tails.

I cannot honestly believe any of this. To redo the SM's, the IG, release kit after kit for Imperial armies the world over and throw us the bone of TYRANIDS to satisfy the Xenos lovers out there?

Please. This is bullcrap GW. Get off your lazy asses and do something about, oh, say DARK DAMN ELDAR.... or maybe Necrons or Tau before you do another stupid Imperial codex. I swear.

Well, you don't have to play Salamanders to have He'stan.

Brett Lee-Price — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:40:21 -0000

Yeah, and funnily enough Blood Angels had a codex to play out of which was just as old as Necrons. Blood Angels at least got an updated Codex which was heavily based on the Dark Angels.

Re: 40K RUMORS: Blood Angels and More

Brett Lee-Price — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:32:02 -0000

Honestly, I can't say I personally agree to the release of the Blood Angels so soon. They were given a free White Dwarf Codex which was done /after/ the Dark Angels codex, and while the BA gets fixed to align with typical Space Marines, the Dark Angels do not. So apparently, Dark Angel's Techmarines are stupid.

Come on, More psykers than any other chapter, red armour, obssessed with knowledge that just screams Magnus brood.

It's even more or less directly confirmed in the Dawn of War books.

Imperium or bust? - Look at your posted release schedule. As of Jan. there will have been two Xenos and three Imperium. And I believe that the SW, BA, DA, BT, insert whatever SM army here, where/are being released because they are quicker fixes.

I do hope that this entire time they've had people working on Nyds, DE, Necrons, ect. because those codex's will be awesome when they do hit the shelves.

I envy the Xenos who will have some awesome codexs here soon enough.

Well, the rumor is that DE and Inquisition are being worked on. When something takes more time its slower to be released. Grey Knights for example were being worked on until the Andy Hoare left GW. DE have conceptually been reworked a couple of times at GW.

BA were easily done in a week... or something.

GW has no need to apologize, they can do what ever they want. I haven't bought anything from GW in a while and I think its simply unreasonable to demand anything from GW, when any other company would act the same way they do. GW is pulling themselves out of debt, which mean they're obviously making money, where before they were losing it. So if Space Marines x10 pay for GW stay in business so that once every 5 years I get what I want from them I'm cool with that. The other four years I can buy a car or house or video games.

He may have meant that the Blood angels are only half the story as the other half is the nids. Referencing the Space Hulk game. I don't see it as a notification of the Dark Angels return.
