The new Dark Angels Primaris Azrael 40k rules Datasheet has been spotted- check out what the enhanced Grand Master can do now!

Before we start, this is 100% a rumor, so take it with as much salt as you need. However, as far as we can tell, there is a full-length horizontal picture at the bottom of this rumored datasheet that Games Workshop hasn’t published yet.

So if it is fake, whoever made this has more artwork than GW has released or is really, really good at photoshop. Just something to think about as we look at the rules.

If you want to see the full reveal of the model, you can check that out here. Let’s take a look at the new rules and compare them to the existing Azrael datasheet!

RUMORS: New Dark Angels Primaris Azrael 40k Rules Datasheet

This photato quality image is making the rounds on Facebook and Reddit, as well as forums like the B&C already.

So again, while there is a chance this is fake, the picture at the bottom is very compelling. Plus, one other thing to think about, what book is this in? They said Arks of Omen wouldn’t have matched play rules. So is this in the new Space Marines codex or possibly a new Dark Angels supplement?

It’s hard to say one hundred percent, but either way, it sure looks like a new supplement book of some kind.

Now, let’s compare it with the current datasheet for Azrael:

Changes From Firstborn Azrael to Primaris:

+1 wound
+1 attack
Sword of Secrets gets +1 strength and extra damage.

So, not too many changes, honestly, but with more strength, attacks, and damage, he should be a little more destructive than before, and an extra wound never hurt anyone!

He also obviously has the Primaris keyword now.

Either way, we’ll have to wait and see just how truthful these are, but it might be a little while until we see the new book this is from. Maybe Games Workshop is planning on announcing a new Space Marines book soon (like at LVO perhaps)?
