Horus Heresy: New Bolters, Axes & Campaign Books Released
Forge World has a new set of kits for your 30K army, and two new campaign books in a new format.
This week has 4 new releases from Forge World:
Space Marine Legion Umbra Bolter Set £12.50
The boltgun is the archetypal Space Marines weapon, which fires self-propelled, mass-reactive shells. The umbra pattern was mass produced during the latter years of the Great Crusade and saw plenty of use throughout the Horus Heresy.
Upgrade your Legion Tactical squads and other boltgun-equipped units with these umbra pattern bolters. Along with ten weapons, there are also four traditional bayonet and six chainaxe-style fittings that may be optionally attached to the bolters. This set is compatible with all of the Forge World Legion power armour kits.
This kit consists of 20 resin components, including 10 umbra-pattern boltguns and 10 optional combat blades.
Legion Tartaros Terminator Power Axes Set £14
While they were usually equipped with power fists, it was not an uncommon sight to see Space Marines in Tartaros Terminator armour carrying power axes instead. This would often be the case if a unit was on a special mission or if a warrior had a personal preference for the axe.
Equip your Tartaros Terminators with power axes – this set contains all of the arms, weapons and shoulder pads required to give your elite troops a different weapon loadout, as well as an additional power sword.
Seen this kit before? You’re not suffering from déjà vu – this set has been redesigned to work with your plastic Tartaros Terminators, available from the Games Workshop webstore.
This kit consists of 16 resin components, including 5 power axes, 5 arms, 5 shoulder pads and a power sword.
