More Nid goodness?

Just read this, could be interesting

There are some Blood Angel rumors floating around now, and while some of them I am giving very little faith in (the one from dakka), they are interesting. So according to these, we will see a campaign book for Storm Claw here in the coming weeks, with either Necrons or Tyranids involved in it, but no Blood Angel codex until December.


Please remember that these are rumors. A big thanks to The Harrower over at DED'ARD for compiling these two sets. Note, that I briefly went over to Lords of Gaming Facebook to look for these comments, and if they are there they are buried in the comment or were removed.

This just in from Lords of War Gaming on Facebook:

There will be a campaign book that is released early November. Necrons are not for a while I know of two armies that are next and another codex that will shock people next year.

Early November campaign book... with Blood Angels?
I been told that there will be a box like Storm Claw. BA for sure but I don't know it its Nids or Necrons. If I was to guess I would say Necrons following the Storm Claw model.

End of the year as in December or in November?
I was told December. I don't not know if it is at the beginning or at the end.

No new model, but you will get:
DLC1: Dataslate Tycho. $20
DLC2: Dataslate Death Company Tycho $25.

Everyone I knew that worked in the GW Studio has moved on so I am just speculating here, but I think Blood Angels/Tyranids makes more sense. With new Tyranids being released in the next 6-7 weeks (also from Lords of War Gaming on Facebook), a surprise Codex coming out next year, and the Necrons Codex not being released "for a while", it does fit.

And there there is a fluff story about Hivefleet Leviathan landing on Baal in the Blood Angels Codex where the Scions of Sangunius make their last stand. Plus, last time after Space Hulk was released we saw the release of Tyranids followed by the Blood Angels. Coincidence? Who knows, but it is fun to speculate. Also would GW release a new Nids Codex so soon? That would certainly be a surprise.

I think it's safe to say that the rumoured Tyranid box release is already up on GW's site. It is something that the faction has needed for some time, with the swarm box being the worst starter set in the history of 40k as it didn't have a single synapse model. This new one has synapse in spades.

As for a new Stormclaw box set, obviously I'd like it to involve Tyranids but with BA and Necrons both with a codex incoming, that combination makes a lot more sense to me.

I guess... if the Cron dex gets bumped back 'too far' and there are Nid models being released... it *might* make sense for a Nid/BA campaign book.

But my money still says it will be Cron/BA... just makes more sense.

Man, Blood Angels and Necrons are brothers in arms, they wouldnt fight each other

matt ward, yes, his fluff really is that bad

A "Surprise Codex" could be something along the lines of either a new faction, or something like Sisters of Battle...I doubt they will be dropping a new nid dex. not to say i wouldnt be happy to see something new.
