JSlade Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 via bell of lost souls: 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. So, here are my questions. Does this make sense? Could it be the Apocalypse of Baal? (as laid out in our 5E codex) What would a BA Starter box look like? (TAC, RAS, Captain, Sanguianry Priest?) Why the hell is a 10x Space Wolf box the same price as a 5x DC box? Wait, the last one is wholly unrelated. Rate this story? Me: 4/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-beard Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I love these rumors. I hope they advance the BA plot line with this release. Lords of War Gaming is like 8 for 8 on recent rumors, so I take his comments seriously. I think a BA starter box may have something like: - assault marine squad - death company squad - Furioso Dread - razorback - reclusiarch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Lords of War Gaming has been 100% on target with all rumors. I'd rate this 10/10. If the book is called Leviathan, it definitely sounds like a campaign based on The Darkest Hour from our current Codex which just sounds amazing.

bis5523 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 we will have to see but a nid vs. Blood Angels box set would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If there is a Chaplain exclusive model in this I will lose my in sheer joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-beard Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Unfortunately Lords of War Gaming is also saying 4-5 more weeks until BA codex release. That puts it on 11/29 or 12/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman101 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Unfortunately Lords of War Gaming is also saying 4-5 more weeks until BA codex release. That puts it on 11/29 or 12/6. hmmm...Didn't the SW box come out before their codex as well? Can't remember... And didn't their box come with a rule book (mini BRB)? I've been holding off on buying it so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What I expect to see in the new box: 'Nids: "Limited edition" (until they sell it online-only 3 weeks later) Tyranid Prime 3x Warrior Brood 15x Temigant Brood 15x Hormagaunt Brood The new rumoured big bug - Toximajig / Smellyfex or whatever its called Blood Angels: "Limited edition" (until they sell it online-only 3 weeks later) BA Librarian. 10 Asault Marines 5 Death company 5 Terminators Nothing amazing or balanced, but a healthy mix of basic stater stuff and new releases.

Zembar Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, they still haven't started selling the stormclaw uniques online, so that part I wouldn't be too sure of.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Why the hell is a 10x Space Wolf box the same price as a 5x DC box? Because Jump Packs cost as much as a man each. DUH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, they still haven't started selling the stormclaw uniques online, so that part I wouldn't be too sure of.. Guess I'm still bitter about the "limited edition" Space Hulk that they re-release every now and then whenever they need to make some quick dosh. On a less bitter note, I'd be mega exited for this release (if its real) Tyranids are my true love, and BA are my current project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bis5523 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What I hope 4 in this box set Captain or librarian Sanguinary priest 10 assault marines 5 assault terminators Assorted bugs that I can murder for the EMPRAAAAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Realistically it is going to be a similar size to the space wolf one. Therefore unique HQ cast and two box sets. Thinking that blood angels will be more special than space wolves and get a third squad or a second HQ doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Does anyone remember what we were promised last time? The thing that turned out to be Stormclaw instead? I think it was a new, but not unique, captain, a unique sanguinary priest, some assault marines, and some tactical marines, but I don't recall exactly...

sockwithaticket Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The pups got Krom, 10 Marines (5 GH and 5 BC if you were copying the box) and 5 Terminators. All of which were made from existing sprues.Our existing infantry sprues are Death Company and Sanguinary Guard.So I could see something like this:Exclusive Plastic Character (probably a Captain w/ jump pack because why would we get something useful?)5 DC5 ASM5 Sanguinary GuardPerhaps swap the ASM for another DC sprue but painted up as regular BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 ...probably a Captain w/ jump pack because why would we get something useful? Come on. The conversion bits would be awesome. I'd love to have even more Blood-Angels specific iconography that isn't attached to a chaplain or priest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, fair enough, more bits is always awesome (even more awesome if it was on general sale...). I just hope he's not covered in chalices. Blood drops I like and can work with, chalices not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverson Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You'l get a ba named captain an assault/jump squad of the black armored guys a squad of termies and a squad of tacticals. so by the looks of it. the captain is the unique model 5 man death company 5 terminators (id love them to be the space hulk ones) and a tactical squad. ( probably going to be an indicator to weather we get grav weapons as i dont know any up to date release that you cant use all the options from) id rate the original rumor as very high as its exactly what people were on about when the mix up of it and the spce wolves came about.

GrunTeufel Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I have a theory. The terminators are either going to be generic ones, or they are not going to be terminators but something else. Let's face it, on table top our terminators are nothing special. Just generic terminators. GW would have already released SH terminators if they were planning to. Plust the fact that they are mono pose and use a different mold (red plastic). Space wolves just got a single unique character out of stormclaw, so I don't expect ours to be much different. Unless we get the rumored blood brothers. We still don't know what they are going to be like. Maybe they will come with terminator armor. Or it might be the new terminator kit that people have been talking about. tl;dr I think it is either a generic terminator squad (maybe a new box) or a new blood angels unit which I kinda doubt.

The Yncarne Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I expect: 1 Chaplain or Reclusiarch 5 RAS 5 DC 10 Tacticals (new sprue) I could see the tacticals replaced with a razorback, but I think the odds are slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is everyone assuming that this box will be bigger than the space wolf one, space wolves got 2 boxes and an HQ as did orks, but everyone here seems to think blood angels will get a third box. Why? Isn't it most logical to assume that the size of the boxes will be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I hope there aren't any Terminators in this release. I already have 30+ Cataphractii/Tartaros/Indomitus suits AND the Space Hulk ones. As much as I looooovvveee Terminators...I think I have enough.. I'm hoping for : 5 Sanguinary or DC 10 Tacticals / Assault Marines 1 Captain With Jump Pack or Sanguinary Priest with jump pack I mean sure, assault marines aren't the bee's knee's but it would fit the theme for the Blood Angels quite well and make sense for a narrative campaign.
