Mephiston: Lord of War.
Blood Angels: Gain access to the new Codex SM flyers, but not the tanks.

New “Sanguinary” unit in Terminator armor
Clam pack plastic Sanguinary Priest
New Wheeled vehicle
“Classic Character” gets a resculpt (contrary chatter split between Mephiston/Tycho)
Rumor reliability: Medium-Low, coming from both known and unknown sources
That set of plastic kits seems a bit high for the Blood Angels, unless the info that GW is using this window as an opportunity to replace some of the older Astartes plastic kits. There is now a lot of chatter out there regarding the new updated Mephiston plastic miniature. More on that soon…
~ That new BA captain and the supplement based on him sound a lot like the pattern used for Sentinels of Terra and Clan Raukaan.
