Rumour: Dark Angels to get Battle Bunkers and new Predator weapons

Posted on by

HEAVY SUPPORT:
Predator – Plasma and “Reaper Cannon” new main gun option, no new sponson options – new model kit possible (and the Predator is kind of an old kit).

Whirlwind – Flakk missile option.

Land Raider – Dark Angels get all the current Imperial types. Deathwing can take then at dedicated transports.

Dreadnought – The classics that we know and love, moving on…

Devastator Squad – Flakk missile option.

Vindicator – Nothing new here…

Siege Cannon – Techmarine’s mortar-like cannon. Multiple sources speak of this model being somehow interchangable with Imperial Guard artillery kits to round out the last missing models. ~Editor’s note: the Griffon perhaps?

DEDICATED TRANSPORTS:
Rhino – Standard rules.

Razorback – Standard rules, new updated model kit with ALL turret weapons options mentioned.

Land Raider – Deathwing Terminators ONLY.

Land Speeder Storm – Scouts only.

Battle Bunker – from the Wall of Martyrs kit.

The Wall of martyrs is up!

The wall is here. For advance order. As rumoured the price is £100 $160US Some of it’s  possible arrangements for it are shown in this video. I’d like to know if it will rap around in a square. Some people are predicting it’s components will be released in smaller boxes after the new year for those who can’t bring themselves to spend all that money in one go.

The video also shows the Christmas mega sets. These are £150/$250 US each

Races have vanished on the tournament circuit. Bell of lost souls has reported Dark Angels, Sisters of battle and Black Templars we not represented at all at Feast of Blades. I haven’t played any of these codex in 6th Edition, but I expect this no show was more down to a lack of love from GW then the changes in rules having a negative affect on the army.

Flamers for all

Well all space marines anyway. At least that’s what the rumours say.

“via MarikLaw  on Warseer
Little birdy told me that Dark Angels Tactical Squads will be able to take a Heavy Flamer as a heavy weapon option. Was also told that the Heavy Flamer option would not be unique to Dark Angels and that subsequent Marine book Tactical Squads would get Heavy Flamers as well.

Another word from the same little birdy as before: The plasma re-roll special rule that Azrael gets is also a “Chapter Tactic” that most characters (excluding named ones) can get, albeit for a points increase (not cheap either, apparently).”
