Don’t miss the GW’s stealth teaser video for the third 40k Psychic Awakening book featuring Mephiston and the Blood Angels!
Warhammer TV on Youtube posted a surprise video teaser over the weekend called Blood and Talons. This video is really short but gets the job done. Growing hype for Blood Angels and Tyranids, it looks like Mephy is coming back and clearing out droves of Tyranids.
First lets take a look at the latest on what may be in the supplement that’s rumored to be releasing on Dec 7th
Rumors of Battleforces December Product Pricing
There is a massive chart of rumored GW releases that was spotted recently, and now, we’ve got a first look at the prices of the items ahead. Check out the pricing for the releases hitting store shelves on December 7th But remember these are still just RUMORS. Take everything with a pinch of salt.
Psychic Awakening Rumors: Blood Angels Get Their Own Book
In the same way that the Aeldari got their book that had updated datasheets, new rules, etc. the more sources are saying the Blood Angels will follow suit. According to an Industry Insider:
The Sons of Sanguinius are coming soon in Psychic Awakening: Blood of Baal (Original title eh?), and Mephy crosses the river too.
Overall, it would make sense for GW to pick up where they left off for the Blood Angels. With massive numbers culled from their ranks after the Tyranids had a party on the homeworld, it will be interesting to see where they spin the faction next. Keep in mind that this still coincides with earlier rumors from Kikasstou on B&C, he gave some possible (very) good insight on what’s ahead:
- This will be themed around Blood Angels and Tyranids (probably picking up from the events of the Devastation of Baal).
- Mephiston is supposed to be getting a new Primaris model.
Blood & Talons Video Teaser
The video itself is very short and is basically one still frame of art moved around various parts. With that said, there are a few clues that we shouldn’t ignore. The first is the Marine standing with his back turned…
How many other Marines do you know that are Blood Angels and have the two skull pieces over the top of his head? This is definitely Mephiston and from the looks of all the dead ‘Nids around him, he’s probably responsible for that.
We have a nice idea of what his new model is going to look like. However, we are still waiting to see an official preview on his face.
What Could The Storyline Look Like?
Going back to the video, we might have already gotten a good idea of the story behind this Psychic Awakening book. With Mephiston standing over dead Tyranids on a deserted landscape with burning buildings, it’s a good guess that this is Baal. On top of that, the words It begins in blood and in blood it ends makes it sound something to the effect of “Tyranids struck first but we’re going to strike back harder”.
Mephiston, being one of the only surviving Blood Angels after its devastation, might have followed Guilliman back to the Rubicon Primaris, got beefed up, and is now spearheading an assault into the Tyranid Hive Fleet. This is all just a guess, but it can’t be too far off.
What do you think is in store for Blood Angels? Do you think there will also be a new Primaris close combat unit to join the force?
