Games Workshop just dropped the new Blood Angels and Dark Angels FAQ’s on us, as well as an updated Space Marine FAQ. Come find out what’s changed.

We’re seeing a couple important changes with the latest FAQ’s. Let’s take a look at what Games Workshop has changed on the Dark Angels, Blood Angels, and Space Marines.

In the Blood Angels’ FAQ we’re seeing an update to the Wargear Options for the Intercessor squad. It now reads the Intercessor Sergeant may replace their bolt rifle with a power sword or chainsword, or they may take a power sword or chainsword in addition to their other weapons. This is going to give you a couple extra weapon choices to choose from on the tabletop.

Dark Angels are seeing a few updates as well, and Speed of the Raven is getting a nice little addition. Units will no longer suffer the penalty to hit for Advancing and firing Assault weapons.

One of the big changes to the Space Marines FAQ is in relation to the Redemptor Dreadnought, and you’ll now be able to field it the way it comes in the Easy to Build kits. We’re also seeing the same update for the birthday captain and other ETB kits.

If you’re White Scars you can now advance with no penalty to shooting (along with your falling back shenanigans). Salamanders and Imperial Fists will be able to apply Stratagems for the whole Shooting phase, and you can field your models the way the come in the box now for everything from the birthday captain to the ETB kits.

Blood Angels and Dark Angels got a couple small tweaks, and the Space Marines are now better. All in all we’re seeing some good changes across the board in the new FAQ’s. There’s more to be seen in the latest updates, so make sure you head over to Games Workshop and familiarize yourself with the latest rules.
