Hey fellow Warhammer 40K fans! Last week was a thrilling one for all of us who are loyal to the Emperor. A spine-tingling revelation came with the announcement of the new Codex Supplement: Blood Angels along with a launch box featuring the ferocious Death Company Marines. And guess what? There are fresh miniatures for the iconic Chapter figures Lemartes and Astorath!
Sanguinary Priests and the Red Thirst
Every Chapter has its Apothecaries, but the Blood Angels’ Sanguinary Priests have a unique and crucial role. They don’t just treat wounds and recover gene-seed; they also manage the Red Thirst—a relentless, literal bloodthirst that plagues all Sons of Sanguinius. This intense craving for carnage is a mark of shame unless unleashed in the most desperate moments. Only the Sanguinary Priests possess the knowledge to calm this hunger through sacred rituals and ceremonies.
Noble Captains and Exquisite Miniatures
When the madness of the Red Thirst is under control, the Blood Angels embody nobility and dignity. Their Captains, who lead the companies of Baal and its successors, must exemplify the Emperor’s finest virtues. They are not only supreme warriors but also bear a regal presence that can humble planetary governors.
The new miniatures for these Captains are nothing short of stunning. Decked out in distinctive sculpted armor reminiscent of Commander Dante, they can be equipped with various weapons like the iconic inferno pistol, relic blade, chainsword, or power fist. Plus, each arm has two poses—either ready for battle or in a more relaxed stance. The kit also includes multiple heads, pauldron decorations, and other accessories to customize your Captain just the way you want.
What’s Coming Next?
Both Lemartes and Astorath will be released later this year, along with the new Codex Supplement and other upgraded Blood Angels models. The anticipation is palpable, and these additions are sure to make any Blood Angels army look even more phenomenal on the battlefield.
Final Thoughts
This is an incredible time for Blood Angels fans. With the new Codex Supplement and upgraded miniatures, our armies are not only getting more powerful but also more visually stunning. So, gear up and get ready to embrace the nobility and fury of the Blood Angels in their most refined form yet!
