Going back and looking at the pics from last week, things are starting to line up.
The back of the box is painted up to match the 2-sides described in that list above. We now can start to figure out what to call some of those card decks and tokens lying around on those thick card hexboards. I see a stat above called Bulk, and noticed that some units seem to able to stack multiple models in a hex, while other can’t. That may be related.
We get an exact lineup with this previous contents list from last week – but with much finer detail.
And this would apparently be one of the three Ultramarines units reference cards.

~The boardgame game itself is still a mystery but with those weapon and unit stats looks to be a standalone ruleset.
