I wish this was my own squad. Maybe i’ll get it painted one day. This is the studio’s current and previous Vanguard Veteran squads. In this combination they can be fielded as either two 5 man squads or a single 10 man squad. I still think it’s a shame GW retired the old set. They are fantastic models.
Retraction: There were rumours on Naftka that Blood Angels were on the cover of the new Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. This will came as no surprise to many given they are also rumoured to be in the box set, however this did give credibility to the rumour about the box sets contents.
Blood Angels represent my personal favourite era of 40k. Although there’s nothing much Grim and dark about bright red space marines. Blood Angels were the main Studio army when I started playing in 1991. My own efforts to start a Blood Angels force have never really got far, but they are still one of my favourite armies to see in the pages of White Dwarf. I expect we are about to see a lot of that.
A few of my Blood Angels, more can be found in the Imperial Menu above.
Unfortunately again the rumour were false. Maybe this was the cover of the 40k box set rather than the book.

This post is also the 400th on ChapterMasters. Thanks to all those regular readers who keep coming back and checking the site. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for you.
I can’t not mention there have been renewed rumours of a Space Wolves Flyer today. according to the pictures the body is simular to a raven but the head is very Wolf like. The flyer is apparently in the warehouse ready to go. If Space Wolves are next I’m scratching my head trying to work out the release order.
7th 40k rule book. Aka 6th edition v2
Space Wolves
Orks
New starter set
Blood Angels
Will they release Imperial Guard back to back with Space Wolves
This Blood angel Contemptor Dreadnought was entered into Games day 2013 Golden demon, in the Warhammer 40,000 vehicle category. The Dreadnought has been armed with two twin linked auto cannon. Behind the Blood Angel Dreadnought is a World Eaters Dreadnought, which has been armed with two power fists for brutal close range assault.
At the time of writing this post Games workshop have not yet released any details for Games days in 2014. This could this spell disaster for this years’ Golden Demon and Armies on parade. After the poor attendance and feedback some people are speculating that Games day may not go ahead in 2014.
Have you or anyone that you know started work on entry for either Golden Demon or Armies if Parade 2014? How will you feel if Games day 2014 doesn’t happen? One thing is certain the editor of Warhammer visions will have a harder job finding content for the magazine, as will we finding content for Chapter Masters.

After days of no news there can be no more doubt. Warhammer 40k 6th edition is gone. The English version is no longer available from the Games Workshop website. The digital version has been removed completely.
So long 6th, May your allies system rot in pieces. Long live 7th edition may your chaotic under play tested rules reign like the Chaos Lord who wrote them.
Seventh Edition Release Date
The rumours all point towards May 24th but the rumour mongers disagree if this is a release date or pre-order date. The date given in advance for 6th edition was a pre-order date.
Price
No indication has been given if this is a full on £45 or more fluff monster or an entry encouraging price of £30. We can hardly discount £50 given the inflation rate at Games Workshop.
Starter Set Contents
Dark Vengence is still available and if the 5th to 6th edition transition is anything to go by, Dark Vengeance will be available until the 23rd of May. However other than auction sites, that will be you lot, no pun intended. So if you want a cheap expansion for your Dark Angels or Chaos forces, you better grab it while you can.
There are two very contradictory rumours running over the forces to be included in the starter set. The long standing rumour is we are looking at Blood Angels vs Orks. Given the Ork Codex is also rumoured to be the First of Seventh edition, followed by Blood Angels, this would fit well. A new rumour has surfaced today on Feite212 that Elder and Astro/Guard will be in the box. This would be very odd if it does turnout to be true. Games Workshop have always tried to support current releases, not revisit Codex from the past.
That’s the 7th edition rumours for today. I’m sure more will surface tomorrow.
