After having released 7th edition 40K and almost all army books for 40K (? I have no clue about 40K), they want to revive Fantasy with 9th edition and several (!) army books, when the end times are done.– GW have seemed to understood that in order to sell miniatures, they need to give the minis good rules in the game in order that the customers really want them.
- Blood Angels coming up next? The DE book has a typo about Blood Angels which may indicate this is happening.
- Necrons possibly coming out? Not sure but those are the last men standing, so to speak.
Rant Session

List Review
I have been Running Blood Angels for a long time, and since the codex came out, I have found that it can adapt to the shifting meta with a little thought. I pay more than all other marine player do for my stuff, but the combination of speed and resiliency is great, even with the oldest codex in the game (I think it is the oldest).
Anyway, here is the list:
- Reclusiarc
- Furioso Dreadnought, Melta, Frag Cannon, and BLOODFIST!!!
- Pod, Deathwing Missiles
- Furioso Dreadnought, Melta, Frag Cannon, and BLOODFIST!!!
- Pod, Deathwing Missiles
- 5 assault marines, Flamer
- Las/Plas Razorback
- 5 assault marines, Flamer
- Las/Plas Razorback
- 10 Death Company, bolters, 2 power-fists
- Land Raider Crusader, Multi-Melta
- Death Company Dreadnought, Melta, Heavy Flamer, BLOODTALONS!!!
- Pod, Deathwing Missiles
- Baal Pred, Assault cannon, Heavy Bolters
- Baal Pred, Assault cannon, Heavy Bolters
- Stormraven, Assault Cannon, Multi-Melta
Obviously, the Reclusiarc will chill with the Death company in the Land Raider. They provide a pretty good “Don’t come here zone” where i need it, and if they have to be aggressive, they hit like a ton of bricks, and are really great at contesting stuff (They are Obsec, but can’t score them selves). Plus the land raider is obsec, so that is fun.
The razorbacks provide some long range punch, and are fast, so getting on objectives is easy. We play with lots of maelstrom elements here (Northwest!) so mobility is boss. plus that plasma gun is ok at shooting stuff too.
Preds are there to be fast, and to harass from annoying places. They are not that great, but can be really a thorn in the side. Literally, because they need to get side armor to be good. Plus, they have a 24 inch movement threat.
The Dreadnoughts always die terrible deaths, but they provide pressure! they are great on the drop, and can put hurt on infantry and armor alike (Both if i position it right) The Frag cannons are beast, and the melta is OK too. My opponent has to deal with them, and that gives other units vital time to get in position, while holding their units back to deal with the furiosos. Plus, the Pods are annoying too.
The Death Company Dreadnoght is there to maintain the pressure. And it is an ObSec Dreadnought. Yay old rules!
The Raven is a work horse. PoTMS is money, so I can jink the night away, and still Melta stuff. Love thse against everything.
What do you guys think?
Oh, and it is fast to play.
Love the podcast, keep up th good work, and bring a team up to the OFCC (Portland) Next year.
