The steady rumor drip drip drip continues on that Blood Angels vs Tyranids campaign box set:


Gary’s got a live one 11-6-2014

Regarding “Shield of Baal”

Shield of Baal is the first release for the campaign. There will be more. It comes in two hardback books and in a slipcase.

book 1 comes with all the details on the invasion- background
includes the invasion of the Cryptus System, called the shieldworlds of Baal.
the astra militarum, blood angels and even the sisters of battle are mentioned here.

book 2 is rules including, Echoes of War scenarios (6), a cities of death expansion with 6 new missions, death from the skies rules for aerial combat. 

Forces of Leviathan: a new detachment for Tyranids with warlord traits, datasheets for new units, and new formations

Which builds upon these from a couple days back:

“A New Campaign Begins!”
pretty much points directly to the previous White Dwarf hints:

I don’t know if any other german WD readers noticed:

on page 20 of the current WD, where they talk about the various ways to benefit from the Toxicrene, some note is written in the bottom left corner (I’ll translate):

“Shield of Baal: Leviathan ist ausschließlic in englischer Sprache erhältlich, aber damit du sofort mit dem Spielen loslegen kannst, haben wir hier die Regeln auf Deutsch abgedruckt.”

Shield of Baal: Leviathan is exclusively available in English, but for the purpose of playing immediatly we printed the rules in German here for you.”

So I think we got a name…

~ After all the amazing new units the Tyranids are getting, I’m expecting great things from the Blood Angels – like a flyer named the “Bloodbat”, dropping “Bloodbombs”, and a special rule called “Bloodhaze” 🙂
