The Blood Angels Get New Codex & Battle Brothers Soon
November 23, 2020 by brennon
Games Workshop is not done with the goodies for those diving into Warhammer 40,000. As well as the hints as to what is coming soon we also know what's landing next week with a new Codex Supplement for the Blood Angels and supporting miniatures for Space Marine players.

This new Codex gets you going with the Sons Of Sanguinius and has all of the additional rules and gubbins that you need in order to get going with this Chapter. With the move away from the clean-cut look of the Primaris Space Marines with the newest range of releases, embracing a bit more of the grimdark, the Blood Angels seem like one of the best Chapters to demonstrate this with. Pageantry-mode engaged!
Admittedly, you don't see that so much with the likes of the Combat Patrol Box which was teased last week. But, give is also coming out alongside the Codex to give you a leg up when starting a Blood Angels army.

There are some special options available for those who want a flavour of the Blood Angels running through their force though. It seems like even with all of the work put into the Primaris Space Marines, you can't get rid of the Red Thirst. Enter the Death Company Intercessors.
Death Company Intercessors // Warhammer 40,000
This kit comes with five standard Intercessors plus all of the extra gubbins and such that you need to make them fit in with the rest of the Death Company. Who wouldn't want to be a raging Space Marine vampire with a deathwish?
New Assault Intercessors & Gladiator!
As well as the new options for the Blood Angels we also have some new kits landing for those playing as regular Space Marines too. We have the new Primaris Assault Intercessors with all manner of special weapons to their name.

Plus, if you're looking to bring in the big guns then you can also send in the Gladiator to do some damage to your opponents too. This is the upgrade to the Predator to include that fancy new technology that the Primaris Space Marines are so fond of.
Space Marine Gladiator // Warhammer 40,000
Walk softly and carry a big gun as they always say! If you've not had enough of Space Marines by this point then you'll soon have the option to buy even more. It seems like a good time to get started as the Blood Angels at least, especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Are you tempted to snap up these goodies?

I was thrilled when I saw the Primaris Death Company but looking at the models in detail they just look like standard BA Intercessors with red crosses painted on them. No adornments like the older Death Company and those faces don’t look enraged to me.
That said, most of these releases are simply window-dressing to a sweet new set of dice on the way. It looks like you’ll be able to read the numbers on these ones as well! What an age we live in!
There seem to be some Blood Angels bitz, but like the Wolves one these are minimum effort, sadly.
Red o’ns go fasta!
What? Still no Orks?!
For some one like me who already owns plenty of First Born Death Company that have lot more options I am not impressed by those Primaris takes. More Assault Intercessor how ever are what BA needed as CC focused army. And I guess Gladiator aka Anti-Grav Predator is okay tank option.
Nice looking marines I like the head’s update more detailed.
