Warhammer: Horus Heresy – Return of the Beakies
Games Workshop reveals an all new plastic kit for the iconic “Beakie” Marines!
The Horus Heresy is getting a big revamp soon and to celebrate (and show off a bit) GW is showcasing the brand new Beakie Marines coming soon!
“This is an incredibly versatile kit, with plenty of options for posing and gear. This is a Legion Tactical Squad, so it’s (old-style) bolters and bayonets for everyone, though the Sergeant gets a plasma pistol and a choice of power sword, power fist, or lightning claw.”
Return of the Beakies!
As you can see from the pictures this is a full fledged squad of 10 beakies! This is exciting stuff for Horus Heresy fans — or really any Space Marine fan that’s looking to spice things up in their army. You can bet folks are going to find a way to mix-and-match these bits with all manner of Space Marine Conversions. These would be especially handy for any CSM players that want to make their army look even older and more war torn than normal. It’s called the Long War for a reason!
“Long-time Warhammer fans will notice echoes of the original plastic Space Marine kit, the legendary RTB01 box. Released in 1987, that set was similarly full of posable Mark VI Corvus Armour. The Legionaries in the new kit are larger, more imposing, and less bow-legged, but they have that same versatility – and the same option to strap a great big chainblade to the barrel of their gun for an extra dose of marine-on-marine ultraviolence.”
These are just the tip of the spear. GW is teasing that there are more plastic kits to come, too!
“There’s so much more to come from the Horus Heresy in April – we’ll be revealing a new plastic model from the new edition each week on Thursday.”
I guess that’s why they made the fancy banner and dubbed Thursdays as Heresy Thursday:
