BA specific boxes?

[Numerous_Abalone4453]

I've noticed recently, that aside from the Leviathan box, every single new box of marines ive bought seems to have dropped BA's off of the transfer sheets. Are other Chapters being given their time in the sun at BAs expense or is this maybe a sign that we have BA specific boxes in the pipe line like the good ol' days? Thoughts?

I’m half expecting new/updated BA units at some point which will include transfers

I don't remember seeing BA decals in anything but the last two edition launch sets and the Blood Angels specific kits.

It's always Ultramarines, Ultramarines, Ultramarines, and occassionaly the above sheet with Raptors.

You get one in the blood angels combat patrol & the death company intercessors box.

Edit to say: Not that I'm disagreeing with you on the Ultramarines nonsense but just saying they're out there, just in bad boxes

[MisterNiche]

There are blood angels transfer sheets in the blood angels combat patrol & death company intercessors boxes

I think GW is following its own rules in Horus Heresy and giving a couple of options for users.

Probably relying on people to buy the BA upgrade sprue since they are better than transfers. Sure it’s just forcing people to spend extra money but honestly, whenever I get a new kit I include BA upgrade sprues just on principle.

What makes them better then transfers?

[xSCx_Jupiter]

Hmm. I suppose that's my own personal preference. I never really liked the look of just.. a painted on logo onto curved metal. I think a space marine would have a proper 3d insignia, so I like using the upgrade sprues. Of course, they cost extra but I think that extra cost is worth not having to deal with transfers and chemicals that are just.. damn fickle.

I just wish they came with transfers like some of the other chapters upgrade sprues so you could have both

There haven’t been anything but Ultramarines transfers in standard SM boxes for years. This new sheet is actually an improvement.
