Dark Angels Codex Rumors, Vets & Dreadnought Options

By Rob Baer | December 27th, 2012 | Categories: Tabletop Gaming News

Here is the latest rumors on Dark Angles, specifically the veterans, and Dreadnoughts.  We’ve been seeing a lot of leaks on these guys lately, and their rumored release is Jan 12th.  So look for advanced orders to go up late next week both on Spikey and on GW’s Site.

But for now, here’s some more nom nom’s from Faeit

Veterans and Dreadnoughts. The information from both of these, comes out of the latest White Dwarf.

The question about drop pods has been finally answered, and that is a yes, as apparently they are listed under the veteran list of what is available for transports. I would assume as well that Dark Angel Tacticals will get them as well.
