And I thought the Tyranids were bad...the Blood Angels DEFINITELY got an drastic improvement over their last codex. I can only hope that the Black Templars get the same treatment as the Space Wolves and Blood Angels have gotten. Then I'll be immensely happy.
In the meantime, I have to find a way to incorporate more AT into my lists as I will be playing a Blood Angels player on a consistant basis. Their 'Stormraven Gunship' is immune to extra penetration roll from meltas, so I'll be needing a new method of destruction. Thinking about changing one or two of the Predator Destructors in my all comers list to having lascannon sponsons instead of heavy bolters. While this will hamper their ability to target infantry as much, it'll give them duality in the form of AT fire and can target elite units such as Thunderwolf Cavalry or monstrous creatures. All that for a much cheaper price than a Predator Annihilator (20 points).
So in summary, the Blood Angels are going to be excellent from the early look at the codex. A refreshing change from their current underpowered codex. If the codex trend continues, we might be seeing a similarly powerful Black Templars codex in the next year along with the Dark Eldar (with their reported release in late 2010). Makes me super excited!
