Spoiler:
Tons of rumors flying around about Necrons and they are all wrong. The Necrons will only see the release of a Necron lord, no codex will be released. Also Tyranids will see the release of two large bugs. The rules for their models will be in the box like the Nagash release. This is also just a model release for the Tyranids, no codex.

Lastly the Blood angels will be released at the end of the year.

BA are indeed pegged for a mid-november release but there will be little or even no model releases at all.

If there is anything released expect either plastic reclusiarch or sang priest. But no new squad kits or vehicles.



Let the Red Thirst ensue...

Interesting stuff, wonder what will get nurfed, I think cheap transports will be one thing, deep striking landraiders another and then maybe Corbulo whos still very powerful.

New box set on way?-

via Lords of War Gaming 10-28-2014
I keep getting questions about a Tyranids Codex release and here's some info.
1. This is a model release no Tyranids codex.
2. A Campaign book will be released and if I remember correctly it's called Leviathan.
3. Blood Angels are still coming.
4. There will be a starter set that contains BA and Tyranids. It will be similar to Storm Claw.
5. Hope to update Blood Angel rumors this week.
Hope this helps.

less reliable but-

Multiple sources are now saying to look for:

- Blood Angel, Tyranids & Necron Campaign
- Limited boxed set will accompany the campaign modeled after the Stormclaw product
- Box will include Ba vs Tyranid opposing forces led by:
- Plastic Blood Angel Captain
- Named Tyranid Character (Prime most commonly names, but Lictor or Broodlord possible)

Look for this before the new year.

Lots of releases next week including some surprises. There are lots of hobbit releases, including Smaug. Smaug is extremely huge will be listed for expert modelers only. Of course he is going to cost you almost 500 dollars US, but this is a huge model standing over lots of gold and two columns with Bilbo hiding beneath.
Blood angels get their codex next week. The cover is an assault marine wielding a plasma pistol and and chainsword, overall a nice looking cover.
Blood Angels also get new datacards and dice, but more importantly blood angels get a new tactical squad with lots of options. Shoulder pads, helmets and blood angel symbols are everywhere. It looks like a full box of bits. Heavy Flamer is also in the box.
Last but least there is a new Sanguinary Priest with with a extra machinery on the backpack, a blood chalice, and a nice looking chainsword.

Read about a dual temie kit as well that makes Death company termies and sang termies, trying to find the quote now.....

And don't even ask why i'm up at 6:30 on a sat morning.... Lol

Blood angels terminator kit
Dual kit
First build is honour guard/ regular ba terminator with ornamentation similar to the da kit.

Second build is death company terminator with rather large chainfists and what appears to be souped up storm bolters/gatling cannons

And codex leak begins-

http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2014/12/4...units.html
First the big stuff!

Death Company is now elite as DC dreadnought
Predator Baal is Heavy Support
Librarian Dreadnought is HQ
Mephiston is HQ and IC
All units have now Furious Charge
Only troop choices are Tactical squads and scouts.
No new units. No Centurions and no talons.


Unit Tweaks
- Dante's Axe is +2S, AP2, mastercraft and NOT unwieldy, and he's Eternal Warrior
- Special rules for Death Company: FC, Fearless, Relentless, FnP, Rage. They cannot reroll to wound if chaplain in the unit. Only Astorath gives them this ability.
- No terminator armour for DC. But there are good news, Jump packs are now only +3 points. On the other hand their WS has been downgraded to 4.
- No squadrons for Dreads. "Standard" dreads are now Elite, Furiosos and DC dreads too. Librarian dreads are HQ.
- Tacticals As usual + new options. They can get anti-air missiles BTW.
- No more Land Raider as dedicated transports for everybody, just for termies.
- Vanguard Veterans cannot charge after Deep Strike
- Sanguinor pretty the same but: gets only 4++, re-rolls to hit and wound in challenges
- Sanguinary Priests costs about the same as a Wyvern, are HQ, and units they joins get +1WS and FnP. The are IC btw.


Fast Vehicles
- Rhinos
- Razorbacks
- Baal Predators

Detachment
Mandatory: 1 HQ, 1 Elite, 2 Troops
Optional: As usual, but 3 additioanl Elite (Total 4)
Special rule: +1I when charging, all the army, any turn. I see in the pictures of the codex there is nothing coming after the termie kit. Librarian is separate from the kit.

[manrogue]

Warlord Traits
1. Warlord gets Rampage
2. Warlord gets +1 I
3. One Warlord's weapon gets mastercrafted
4. Warlord gets Adamantium Will
5. Warlord gets Descent of the Angels (Dante's trait)
6. Warlord gets 12" fearless bubble


Relics
1. One jump pack that allows the bearer and his unit re-roll when DS and when other units Intercept -> Snapshots. (PF)
2. Gives Fear, and fear tests are done with -2 L (meltag)
3. One item that gives an additional warlord trait strategic table. (PW)
4. One physic weapon +2S, AP4, bearar may re-roll 1 in the psychic phase. If rellod die is a 1, bearer takes one wound. No saves allowed. (Meltag)
5. One Master-crafted plasma pistol, that does not get hot. (PF)
6. One AP2 power sword. (PF)

Psychic Powers
Primaris: Blessing. +D3 to A and I to psyker or target character at 12"
1. Malediction. Target unit at 12" takes a Moral test with -2
2. Blessing. Target unit at 18" gets Rage. If they had already that rule, they get +1A instead
3. Blessing. Psyker and his unit get 5++
4. Focussed witch fire. Target makes 2 T tests. Take one W for each failed test. If targed dies, place 5" blast with S4 and AP5.
5. Beam.12" S8, AP1 Lance
6.Blessing. Targe infantry unit, moves 12" in the psychic phase. No charging after this movement.

Cheers Vince!

YAY furious charge... but then again.. is a tactical marine going to ever use that in a shooty game?

Pretty boring stuff to be honest, nothing that stands out.. I noticed some of the unit will be getting grav, that gave me a little interest, but no Cents... ? or Talos?

No reason NOT to go regular Marines... imo (bar the obvious fluff rubbish lol)

[Nick1988]

Hmmmm I disagree purely if Mephiston gains ic and Dante is eternal warrior!! And if Corbulo is still a badass I will deffo be interested!

[manrogue]

We'll see sat/sunday when i manage to get a pdf/epub of the codex, doesn't look as good as the SW codex in my opinion. No Mephiston Sled being pulled by bats = FAIL.
