Hey
…
You guys remember that one time when I was all like, ‘Man, Games Workshop really pisses me off with their Space Mehren preference. What ever happened to honest competition?’
…
Looks like you’ll be holding your breath for even longer if you’re like me. Coming this April, the next new update flying at you in a…THUNDERHAWK!…is an update for…THE BLOOD ANGELS! Yeah I just said that. Keep in mind, this is following an update for the Space Wolves and an entirely new very minor Space Mehren faction, the Legion of the Damned. No Imperial Guard update…no Ork update…no new Chaos units…just another update and more units for a Space Mehren faction, not even one of the cool ones too. Its the Blood Angels…if there was a slightly homosexual chapter of Space Mehrens…it would be them.
Take this as you will. But I will be adding Games Workshop to my already growing list of things I have sworn a blood oath against.

It really makes their setting suffer how they put so much focus into one faction. Its like ‘wow look at all this background and depth there is to our universe! We’ve got SM novels, SM mini’s, SM codices, SM video games… what? Do we have any other factions? meh… here’s the latest necron codex from 2 editions ago. Deal with it.”
I didnt think that blood angels were that bad. The whole RAGE thing was always kinda cool.
I would like them much more if I didn’t have the sneaking suspicion that they were invented to acquire a fanbase centered around the fact that they are a somewhat vampire-esque faction.
But, yeah, GW needs to get their shit together as far as supplementing the other armies. Financially, I don’t expect them to give a shite because of how much cash they make from SMs but out of plain common decency I expect a little good will.
