Please, Please, Please can anyone tell me if ther is a new codex coming out for the Blood Angels in 2010?

My step son is driving me mad with his whining and whinging about not having had a new codex, (thats a proper one and not the WD that was published in the mag).

So before I feel the need to put down a new patio. Please tell me so I can shut him up!!!!

:evil:

No firm information or rumors yet. There have been some hints that they'll be next year. Best place to keep up to date is the warseer thread for it (here).

Ignore 95% of what you read though as it'll just be blatant wishlisting.

I think the consensus is yes though there are also conflciting rumors that say it'll be a crusading chapter like Black Templars, and some even that say it'll be Dark Angels instead.

I wouldn't go out getting paving slabs just yet, it'd be a Fools' errand.

Surely it can't be Dark Angels again as they only got done a couple of years ago?

It does seem though the Blood Angels, apart from Space Hulk, have been forgotten about over the last few years.

Ahh don't say their forgotten , or tah moar forgottenz shalt spam!!
I think the idea was murmered that BA+ something else, would come out at the same time (not DA, angels of death has been refuted..see thread)

No, that's a total misinterpretation of what Harry (IIRC) was getting at, Harry was talking over the course of the whole year, not the same month. People just got the wrong end of the stick.

Well his power is only exceeded by his mystery, prophets are oft incorrectly heard.

Que? At least they got a codex update when the new Marine codex came out ... forget the WD one that was released, there was a revised version posted in the GW FAQ section!

GW Newsletter wrote:Incoming! Blood Angels

This April the Blood Angels will be re-launched with an all-new Codex and range of plastic and metal miniatures. One of the oldest and noblest of all Space Marine Chapters, the Blood Angels have stood fast against the enemies of the Imperium since the Great Crusade and it was their Primarch Sanguinius, who laid down his life to aid the Emperor against Horus in the final hours of the Warmaster’s rebellion. The new Codex explores the background and history of these superhuman warriors like never before, and contains new artwork depicting some of their greatest battles and most powerful champions.

The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red.

Had that in my inbox this morning. Forwarded on to aforementioned annoying stepson who is now rubbing his hands in glee at the thought of having a massive Assaulters Army!!!!

I've posted this up in the news section - typical that my home PC dies when something this big is sent out, I'm having to use the kid's PC to keep up on the forum while I'm trying to repair it (looks like NTFS corruption, and possibly registry hive corruption too, I knew I shouldn't have installed those latest XP updates!)
