    Ok so the new Blood Angels are up for Advance Order. TBH I dont really like them, we heard so much hype about how amazing they are and I am pretty happy I decided to do White Scars instead of Flesh Tearers. There are some nice bits in the kits that will get from bits sites for some conversions but over all a bit disappointed.
    I prefered the fake leaked dex to the actually new one.

    Baal Predator

    Ok this kit is pretty nice, I am glad they changed the sponsors as the old ones broke alot. Costs £5 more than a normal Pred as it comes with the normal pred sprue plus a BA sprue with Firestorm cannon, 2 heavy flamers plus BA icons.
    Would have liked a few more extras. But other than that a nice update on the old metal Baal

    Death Company


    This kit is my fav out of the lot. Really like the models but have to wonder if anybody will play DC with bolters. There are alot of nice bits and after you make your 5 Death company there will be a bunch of spare bits.
    I like this kit but I think while the models and detail are amazing it costs to much for 5 plastic models. Most of the spare bits have DC parts on them so cant really be used on normal Tac marines. Think it would have been better as a upgrade sprue like BT and DA with some more bits put in.

    Sanguinary Guard

    Great kit, the detail is amazing. I got to have a look at these yesterday in person and I have to say they are amazing and soon GW is going to make some awesome plastic kits. £20 for 5 models is very steep again but you most likely only ever buy 1 box of these.
    I really like the kit and will be using parts of them in my Emperors Children force. But I dont actually like the models. I dislike the wings and find the wrist mounted weapons odd and they look out of place not like the GK ones.

    Sanguinor

    Pretty nice character model although it does look alot like a certain WH Character. Not much to say about this one, I think it looks good although I would wiegh the base as it looks like it could fall over easily.

    Astorath The Grim

    I do not like this character model. It looks just like Sanguinor and the pose just seems really off. I also dislike this face.

    Lemartes

    This is a massive impovement over the old model. The old model was seen as one of the worst every made. This guy actually feels like a century old chaplain, I am sure other people will be trying to de-BA him and put them in there armies. The Best new model I think.
    9/10


    Chapter Master Seth

    Here is the famous Chapter master of the flesh Tearers Seth. The model is ok, I do like large chainaxe and his armour but something seems off about his face. Think I would either give him a helm or change his face, but not a bad model.

    I think the new stuff looks good, haven't seem them in person yet though so I'll hold judgment till then. On another note, who the fuck puts GW's new tank kits together for the display models? Both the Baal and the new IG kits look like they were done by 5 year olds!

    Cant see a problem with the Baal.
    The new IG tanks are awful, they cost the same as the old versions but they got rid of the accessory sprue meaning you get less and as the new kits need less pieces and use less plastic there is no need for the price hike. I mean the new Basilisk does not even have a heavy bolter in the kit.
    At leasts the new Killa Kanz are awesome.

    Now if only I can finally settle on a damn Space Marine army. These last few days I been trying to decide between White Scars, Pre-HH Emperors Children, Pre-HH Thousand Sons, Pre-HH Word Bearers or even Pre-HH World Eaters.
    Should not have started reading Tales of heresy and looking back over Visions of Heresy now all I can think of is Pre-hh stuff.
