The Blood Angel’s home world is on the brink of destruction – will the system of Baal survive in 8th? Come find out!

We’ve been speculating on the fate of the Blood Angels for 8th. They were trapped on the wrong side of the Great Warp Rift and were being assailed from all sides. Well now we can stop guessing…

This one comes with a SPOILER ALERT!

On the brink of utter destruction the Blood Angels were “aided” by their ancient nemeses: The Bloodthirster Ka’Bandha!

It seems when you anger a Bloodthirster they don’t forget or forgive easily. Was Ka’Bandha “aid” because the mighty demon wanted to finish the chapter himself? Perhaps he just didn’t want to share the kill. Or maybe something more sinister is going on…

And where do you suppose Hive Fleet Leviathan went! It’s not like the Warp and Tyranids mix very well due to the way the Shadow in the Warp cuts off the connection from reality. Personally, I’m conflicted about this one – I was hoping for a different resolution for this story arc. Maybe it’s not over either. But this feels just a tad “hand-wavy” in my head-canon.

At the same time, it probably would have been just as” hand-wavy” if Guilliman showed up and *POOF* they defeat the Tyranids and save the day. This way we get a nice twist to the story…

I guess we can retire team fist bump and replace with it Blood Angels hugging a Bloodthirster…where is Goatboy…

 

I did NOT see that one coming. What do you think of this story twist for the Blood Angels?
