GW sent out an email blast last night trumpeting the release of the new codex this coming April. Hopefully it will be better than what we have now. I am very curious to see who wrote it.
All we know at this point is from the release:
Blood Angels are a close combat army and wil be deadlier than before due to the following:
•Specialist wargear
•Ability to take assault squads as troops
•More dreadnaughts than any other chapter, which includes the Death Company dreadnaught and the Furisio
Well we can already take assault squads as troops and I prefer tactical Marines so hopefully GW will boost them. The option to only take plasma pistols really stinks. They need access to flamers and meltaguns.
Specialist wargear - We can boost the entire army now with both furious charge and preferred enemy, that's about as good as it gets in my opinion.
Dreadnaughts - we already have access to the Death Company dreadnaught and Furisio plus we can mix the two and make them venerable. Maybe GW means that we will be able to field seven or more. Currently SM can field up to six. To be honest I don't see a host of dreadnaughts being that great unless they get some really awesome rules to boost them such as assaulting out of drop pods.
Right now the Internet is rift with people wishlisting. I will post here whenever I hear anything of value. Unsubstantiated rumors are about as good as soft tactics in my book.
