One each of Plasma pistol, Bolt pistol, Grav pistol.Five Purity Seals, two Servo Skulls, a pile of spent shells, a skull base piece, ten Space Marine targeting helmets, six sets of legs, six Sergeant hands and eight Space Marine shoulder pads round out this immense collection of components.
Pros:
- Two sets of each heavy weapons is great for the bits box.
- Sergeant model comes with tons of bits options as well.
- New ‘smoke trail’ bits for the rocket launcher are dope
- With a little scratch building of arms you can mount most of the weapons onto torsos.
Cons:
- only certain arms work with certain weapon bits. be careful when assembling!
Each kit comes with abbreviated rules in the instructions as well! But be aware folks only certain arms work for certain weapons, so be sure to read the manual to get it right the first time!
The new five model box set retails for $46 US and once again it doesn’t seem like a bad deal honestly when you factor in the amount of options included!
So do you give the “missile in flight” bit thumbs up or down?
