Warhammer 40K Next Week: Space Marines, Space Marines, And More Space Marines
Next week a cavalcade of Space Marines, plus a few Striking Scorpions, come crashing in for pre-order along with epic reinforcements.
Space Marines are the order of the day, with reinforcements coming in from all corners of the galaxy, but mostly the Leviathan boxed set, to a tabletop near you. From Heroes of the Chapter to Infernus Marines, there’s something for basically everyone.
As long as what you want is Space Marines. Or tiny little guys for your Legions Imperialis. Many of whom are also Space Marines. It’s Astartes all the way down.
Space Marines, Leviathan Style
Starting off the Space Marines storm, the Captain in Terminator Armor, who comes with multiple weapon options, including relic fist or relic weapon, as well as a storm bolter and/or combi weapon.
Meanwhile, the Space Marine Heroes of the Chapter from the Leviathan boxed set get their own standalone release. In this set are a Gravis-armoured Apothecary Biologis, a Phobos Lieutenant with combi-weapon, and five Sternguard Veterans.
Want even more, heavier firepower? Try the Ballistus Dreadnought, which maximizes firepower with heavy armour. This one comes with missile launcher and Ballistus lascannon.
Or for more literal firepower, try the Infernus Marines, whose pyreblasters stream literal blasts of fire.
Meanwhile Kill Team gets its own new Space Marines, with a whole Kill Team full of Space Marine Scouts. Armed with bolters, shotguns, sniper rifles, and heavy weapons like heavy bolters and missile launchers, they can take on the most resilient enemies.
Opposing the, are the Aeldari Blades of Khaine, an elite team of 10 Striking Scorpions, who are ready to take all comers.
Legions Imperialis
Legions Imperialis brings epic scale battles to the 41st Millennium. And the first major campaign book for it, packs a punch:
Along with a thick narrative section detailing the movements of Loyalist and Heretic forces around the Beta-Garmon campaign, the book includes new Detachment datasheets for both Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia armies, rules for fighting battles between entire armies of Titans and Imperial Knights, and a full campaign system for linking games together on the road to the infamous Battle for Nyrcon City.
Accompanying the new book, tons of new, tiny miniatures join the fray. Take the Solar Auxilla, for starters:
The Solar Auxilia Support set includes a total of 40 weapons platforms and auxiliary assets loaded with firepower, including Rapier batteries mounting quad launchers, laser destroyers, and mole mortar arrays, Tarantula platforms with lascannons and Hyperios missile launchers, and the dreaded Cyclops remote-controlled bomb.
Or even more Space Marines, with the new Legiones Astartes Support kit.
It comes with 24 miniatures all in all. Starting with Leviathan Dreadnoughts with storm cannons and cyclonic melta lances, Deredeo Dreadnoughts with Anvilus autocannon batteries and Hellfire plasma cannonades, Rapier batteries with quad launchers and laser destroyers, and Tarantula platforms with lascannons and Hyperios missile launchers.
The Malcador Infernus and Valdor Tank Destroyers provide some much needed heavy firepower, while the Spartan Assault Tanks will carry your tiny infantry into the fray.
All this, next week!
