Blood Angels Coming in April

It's official -- GW is coming out with the updated Blood Angels codex in April.  The word just came in through their email announcements.  Likewise, with the book comes a (presumably new) "range of plastic and metal miniatures." 

The description goes on saying, "The Blood Angels have always been a powerful close combat army and have been made even deadlier thanks to a range of specialist wargear, the ability to field Assault Squads as Troops choices, and more Dreadnoughts than any other Space Marine Chapter, including a Death Company Dreadnought and the fabled Furioso Dreadnought. The Sons of Sanguinius will be deep striking onto a tabletop near you this April – now’s the time to practice painting red."

Not being a Blood Angels player this doesn't mean much to me, but it will for many.  It does mean more frustration at seeing yet another group of Space Marines not Dark Angels get a new codex filled with all new toys (they've all been like that since after the most recent edition of the DA book).  Like I foretold in the past DA continue to quickly receed into the distance on their trip toward relative obscurity.  <sigh>
