The Blood Angels are out for pre-order this weekend along with some new Legions Imperialis Tanks from Games Workshop!

I hope you’re ready to get your Blood Angels Army Set. It looks like it’s going to be heck of a deal. That said, it’s not the only good thing in a package from GW as the Legion Imperialis Tanks are rolling in, too! They are cute when they are that tiny. Still it’s your first chance to get a crack at those new Blood Angels and their rules!

Blood Angels Army Set $230

Deployed as shock troops, the Death Company are shepherded into battle by Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost, and Astorath the Grim, whose task it is to ensure the battle-brothers of the Death Company are redeemed with a glorious death in battle. With Lemartes’ litanies ringing in their ears, black-clad battle-brothers and towering Dreadnoughts hurl themselves upon the foe, butchering them with savage fury.

Legions Imperialis: Sabre Strike Tank Squadron $52

The Sabre is a light, fast-moving tank that mounts devastating weaponry for its size, developed by the Legiones Astartes to deploy heavy firepower at speed. The bulk of its chassis is occupied by a primary weapon, such as an Anvilus autocannon for destroying stubborn heavy infantry, or a potent neutron blaster for combating enemy armour or automata. The Sabre also carries compact missiles, using its mobility to outflank enemy armoured vehicles and bring these to bear against their weaker side or rear armour.

This multipart plastic kit builds eight epic scale Legiones Astartes Sabre tanks, agile strike vehicles that pack a punch on the battlefields of Legions Imperialis. Each tank can be fitted with one of two primary weapons – a neutron blaster for punching through armour, or an Anvilus autocannon for smashing infantry. The Sabre is also fitted with compact missiles on its sides, and has a choice of two secondary weapons mounted atop its hull weapons – either a heavy bolter or multi-melta.

This kit contains 130 plastic components, and 1x Legions Imperialis Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet, containing 1118 waterslide transfers. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using Sabre tanks in your games of Legions Imperialis can be found in Legions Imperialis: The Devastation of Tallarn, available separately.

Legions Imperials: Termite Assault Drills $52

Termite Assault Drills are deployed against the most stubborn and intractable positions. These subterranean transports use a potent rock drill to pass swiftly below a planetary surface, employing a melta array to annihilate even the most resilient obstacles. When the Termites emerge, they deploy the complement of Legiones Astartes warriors carried within their hulls, unleashing them behind the unsuspecting enemy lines.

This multipart plastic kit builds eight epic scale Legiones Astartes Termite Assault Drills, sneaky transport vehicles for drilling under the battlefields of Legions Imperialis. The squat forms of these unusual, tube-like engines allow them to deliver elite fighters through solid rock, grinding along on the tracks that run down their sides. Each Termite has gun-hatches set around the front of its hull, two of which can be built either closed or open with the vehicle’s bolter array extended.

This kit contains 88 plastic components, and 1x Legions Imperialis Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet, containing 1118 waterslide transfers. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using Termite Assault Drills in your games of Legions Imperialis can be found in Legions Imperialis: The Devastation of Tallarn, available separately.

Legions Imperialis: Leman Russ Exterminator and Annihilator Squadron $52

Leman Russ battle tanks are incredibly versatile armoured assets, their turrets mounted with a variety of powerful weapons to overwhelm any foe that dares to oppose the Solar Auxilia. Exterminator autocannons produce a withering hail of fire to obliterate entire formations of enemy infantry, while the Annihilator variant excels at pinpoint lascannon strikes to slice through armoured columns.

This multipart plastic kit builds eight epic scale Solar Auxilia Leman Russ tanks for games of Legions Imperialis, each of which can be assembled in either the Exterminator or Annihilator configuration. The Exterminator’s paired autocannons can cut down hordes of infantry with massed fire, while the Annihilator’s twin lascannons make it an excellent tool for engaging with enemy armour. Each tank can be further customised with a choice of hull-mounted gun – either a heavy bolter or lascannon – and you’ll find different options for crew or closed hatches atop the cupola on the turret, to give your massed tanks extra variety.

This kit comprises 132 plastic components, and comes with 1x Legions Imperialis Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheet, containing 288 waterslide transfers. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.

Rules for using Leman Russ Exterminators and Annihilators in your games of Legions Imperialis can be found in Legions Imperialis: The Devastation of Tallarn, available separately.
