Blood Angels Newsletter from GW

So I have returned home to find this e-mail in my 'inbox'. 


Many people are now retracting the negative comments they made about the Stormravens appearance


I however still think it's fucking ugly and I look forward to ruining the day of everybody who uses them by shooting them out of the sky with Krak missiles on turn 1 while laughing evilly.

If however GW are (as rumoured) going to alter the rules so every Marine army can take them I hope they let Chaos Space Marine armies take them as well as that's about the only time I'd consider buying one.

It's still fugly though.....


Editors Note: There's a rotatable picture of it on the GW website right here if anybody want's to see the back as well (It's as shitty as the front imho).

  1. The placement of all the weapons is the stupidest part it looks like the Hurricane bolters cant even shoot at anything useful. Dear God why is the Stupid Multimelts stuck only shooting forward? where will all the awesome movement blocking potential go... that's right, out the window with the design crew

  4. @ Everyone - I don't know what GW were thinking but anybody who wants to use a Stormraven is stuck with it unless they want to scratch-build from other kits.

    @ Citizen Williams - I think it's the paint-job on the Dreadnought that's the problem. The red and blue don't seem to compliment each other very well.

  6. i'm hoping its a result of too much red in the colour scheme. the hurricane bolters also look naff.

    i think its the gold face of the lib dread with the blue

  7. I think the model is ugly as hell.

    But I'm still aiming at taking two for a Grey Knights army in april, especially if the rumour about transport's having a power to raise their AV on a facing by 2 for a turn is true! AV 14, no melta, yus please!
