Games Workshop 99070101015 Ultramarines Upgrades Tabletop and Miniature Gaming, Black

Product Information

Contents: Marneus Calgar and Victrix Honor Guard, Chief Librarian Tigurius, 3 Bladeguard Veterans, 10 Intercessors, 10 Hellblasters, 2 (?) Ultramarines Upgrade Sprues Unsurprisingly the Ultramarines option features a lot of guys on foot. While obviously a decent starter set for someone who wants to play Ultramarines, this is probably one of the harder sets to apply to a different chapter since five of the characters have lots of Ultramarines iconography on them that’s a pain to convert. Existing Space Marine players aren’t likely to get much use out of this box since Hellblasters and Intercessors are commonplace. Storm of Chogoris We’ve been taking a look through all of the Legiones Astartes lately in the run-up to Warhammer: The Horus Heresy’s new edition, and giving all of them a nice, balanced review. Even the ones that we’re, well, a little concerned about. This time, it’s the turn of Ultramar’s finest – or as they’d call themselves, the Bestus Marinii .* Your veterans will need bodies to go with their heads – look no further than this set of five MKIII Veteran Torsos. These heavily-armoured breastplates are lavished with the posh heraldry of Ultramar. Ultramarines MKIV Torsos Once the Word Bearers had left with their tails between their legs, Guilliman found that he couldn’t get in touch with the Throneworld any more, and did what he does best: plan. He planned so hard that he created an entire second Imperium with his more popular brother Sanguinius on the throne.*** You know, just in case.

When the Great Crusade reached Macragge, five years fashionably late due to warp storm troubles, the Emperor found a realm full of life, prosperity, and humanity. Naturally, he decided to put the Primarch responsible in charge of a Legion and send him off into the stars, because no good deed goes unpunished. MKIV ‘Maximus Armour’ offers a balance of agility and durability, and finds itself right at home in the Legions of Ultramar, which are renowned for their strategic flexibility. Customised by the artificers of the 500 Worlds, these MKIV torsos feature additional armour plating over their power cables – which leaves plenty of room for fancy sculpted Legion motifs. Ultramarines Veteran Helmets and MKIII Veteran Torsos You can complete the neo-neo-neo-classical look with the XIII Legion’s famous heraldry, based on the ‘ultima’ sigil of the system which Roboute Guilliman’s dutiful citizens now call home. This set of 10 resin pauldrons will provide the appropriate gravitas and pass this most fastidious of Primarch’s rigorous standards.

2.The Iron Hands Juggernaut

Contents: Iron Father Feirros, Primaris Techmarine, 2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts, 10 Intercessors, 2 (?) Iron Hands Upgrade Sprues Iron Hands love their vehicles, and this boxed set can serve as a viable Patrol for anyone who wants to start or expand their force in that direction. Redemptor Dreadnoughts are one of the best options available for Space Marine players, with a pair of Dreadnoughts supported by 10 Intercessors and 2 Techmarines. Iron Father Feirros could easily be converted into a generic Master of the Forge while the Iron Hands upgrade sprue has plenty of bits that make this box set viable for any Chapter. Ravenstrike Battle Force It’s hard to believe that Warhammer: The Horus Heresy’s Age of Darkness box set launched only six short months ago, bringing with it brilliant new MKVI Tactical Squads , and starting a wave of upgrade releases.

Plans are great, we love plans, but sometimes you plan so hard you miss the Unification Wars and have to make up for lost time. See, while everyone else was blowing techno-barbarians to bits, the ‘War-Born’ were busy scooping up the best recruits they could find from all over Terra, and only saw their first engagement alongside the Imperial Fists and Luna Wolves during the First Pacification of Luna. A Techmarine is points efficient, durable, and can repair the Redemptor Dreadnought for D3 lost Wounds a turn. This isn’t just narratively fitting for an Iron Hands force, but a great combo with their Chapter Tactics – every single Wound you heal is worth 1/6th more. ok, so just before I get into it, I need to call out the Elephant in the room. and no, I don’t have any inside knowledge of these boxes before the release, well. Well, like most other content creators I know how to find out the prices of releases on Monday before said release. So the box prices below are confirmed in the Uk. but they are assumed for other regions. Roboute Guilliman makes all Imperium units pretty deadly, and re-rolls to hit and to wound are nothing to shrug at on the Redemptor. Guilliman and a Redemptor fighting side by side are going to be brutal. Contents: Kayvaan Shrike, Librarian in Phobos Armour, 10 Reivers, 2 Invictor Warsuits, 3 Eliminators, Raven Guard Transfer SheetsOne of the more specialized boxes, this Battle Force’s primary source of appeal is the two Invictor Warsuits which offer a viable combination of speed and firepower. Unfortunately it’s hampered by the Reivers, as Space Marines are already quite good at killing unarmored targets and abilities that effect Leadership rarely do anything. Outside of Shrike the box is easily applied to other Chapters. If this boxed set included Infiltrators instead of the Reivers that Games Workshop loves to put into everything (no matter how few actually see the battlefield) then it would be a lot more appealing.
