Love the updates. I currently have a primaris-only custom chapter and a small firstborn-only Blood Angels army as my 2nd edition nostalgia hit, but man, these are really tempting... while looking at the box art I got the idea of a primaris BA army all painted in Death Company colours, including Dante etc... sigh I can't afford that lol. Maybe one day
I'm assuming that the existing Death Company and Furioso kits are going to be dropped, being replaced by the equivalent standard space marine kits to be used with the upgrade sprue. I think the upgrade sprue is a bit lacklustre. I would have liked to see a power axe in there. I feel like generally there was more on the Dark Angels sprue. I really don't like the vampire fangs thing, but then I came to Blood Angels in 2nd edition, back when the red thirst was to be resisted, rather than embraced.
I’m completely with you on the fangs/red thirst, as I came to BA in 2nd edition too. Yep I agreed the sprue seems to have a few obvious choices missing, no hand flamer which would have been a nice way to introduce a Primaris style one, no power axe, and too many heads and only one helmet. I think the firstborn Death Company might go, possibly Tycho too
@@hobbywaffle Tycho should have gone a long time ago. I have my metal one from back in the day. the update spure is just the primarus blood angel update sprues.
Upgrade sprue is ok, love Lemartes

Yeah Blood Angels always give me a nostalgia hit, my first army was Blood Angels for 2nd edition, because of White Dwarf 168.

I don’t play BA, but they desperately need new Sanguinary Guard & Sangunor minis.
Yeah agreed, and I think they will be coming as what else could be Gold, as we’ve had a new Dante. Hopefully it’s both
