This past week has seen some exciting developments! First the Blood Angels Supplement is nearly compiled! Only two entries remain. After that, we just need to play test the characters and Chapter rules before we release them properly. These supplements move nice and fast, making this part a lot more satisfying compared to the grind of slowly building massive Codexes from the ground up.
Blood Angels are proposed to be coming in with I+1 and Counterattack. I+1 in the supplement is in bold blue in the statline. Bold to show its baked into their profiles already, and blue to denote Chapter specific rules. Play tests will confirm if this ability is to strong, but I have a good feeling about it! Where some codexes have negative rules to balance the positive rules, Space Marines are like Custodes where the point increase for only positive rules is already baked into their costs. On the surface it would appear they just get free stuff, but we are not Games-workshop and do not believe in that unfair imbalance.
As always, happy wargaming and may the Emperor dice god smile upon your rolls.
