A bit of tidying up and omnibus Dark Angels stuff today boys and gals.

First up Dark Angels Scheduling:

– Dark Angels devoted White Dwarf for January
– Miniatures go up for pre-order end of December and are available very early January. ~So save up some of your holiday money!

Rules–wise we hear the following:

-Sammael still rides the Imperium’s only functioning jetbike.
-Larger sized Tactical Squads have been reported ~perhaps the 1st Chapter is still holding onto some of the “old Legion ways”??? 
-Standard “Green Dark Angels” are well represented with 8 unit choices across the codex.  It won’t be all Deathwing and Ravenwing.

Rumours: Dark Angels are almost here

This hit the internet yesterday.

via the Faeit 212 inbox (anonmyous as I have no permission to use the sources name)
the next WD is hobbit releases and the WD after will feature Dark Angels.
DA codex will be after Christmas though.

I think’s it’s a bit odd they say the next white dwarf after that and not. The January White Dwarf? If you combine that with the Double release in December Rumour. The mind starts to boggle. Could we be looking at two White Dwarfs in December? One thing is for sure, the 1st legion and it’s successors will be on a table top near you soon.

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

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.

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).”
