Your review said nothing about the codex except of course to outline the layout of the book . It seems this Codex is rather unbalanced. There are unique abilities, wargear etc that have no additional cost over "vanilla" marines. In addition we discover two unique vehicles, a greater demon/avatar, powerful psychic abilities, Dreadnaughts everywhere etc etc... It's a tad bit over the top.

In general, the codex is roughly similar to Space Wolves. The army has higher costing and lethality compared to the standard Space Marine codex.

If you let the Blood Angels reach you early on, its gonna be bad, but they cannot take a punch as they will have even smaller numbers than a standard Marine player.

Many of the sexy options like the Stormraven are quite pricy and not very hard to destroy. The loss of Combat Tactics is not to be underestimated when considering the army's cost.

@ slayer1play

hate players/power gamers who always got to play the latest codex just becuase they are the best at the time. play with your heart and the feeling of the game not the stats.

I my self have been playing BA for 15 years and I played them even when they had their crappy pdf codex insted of the codex SM wich was so much better at the time.

if you truly love the game and the chapter/teame/race your are playing you dont play 3-4 diffrent race and change to another just for a new codex

@CaptainWwowW Indeed. With all those deep striking Land Raider Crusaders, flying Librarian Venerable Dreadnoughts. Not to forget the ridiculously OP'd special characters and Assault/Sanguinary guard spam. The only army with a fighting chance would be Grey Knights, who are even more OP. Lets admit it; Matt Ward creates broken Codexes full of lore rape.

(And before someone says that I just can't play, I have years of experience and I have won two tournaments)

I was playing Tyranids today, against Blood Angels. I took a Tyrannofex and a Hive Tyrant with Armored Shell (both have 2+ armor save). He killed the fex and got my Tyrant down to 2 wounds in the FIRST TURN OF SHOOTING. That is 8 wounds on 2+ armor saves first goddamn turn. He later admitted Blood Angels are a broken army.

@mattysupe Yes they're both space marines but they have very different backgrounds as well as rules. The only thing that's really the same is stat lines and basic equipment.

So with so many differences you might as well make two codices which in fact has been done by GW as long as I can remember. (they did experiment with a codex marines and small supplement codices which didn't work that well)
