We return to the Grimdark with a new Army set of Blood Angels, plus some Legions Imperialis Terrain sets! Take a look at these prices.

This week GW is bringing out the new goodies for Warhammer 40K, with the brand new Blood Angels army set. Then some heavy metal from the EPIC Space Marine legions are here. Here’s the latest goodies:

GW says all of these kits go up for preorder on August 17, and have a street date of August 31.

Blood Angels Army Set $230 €180 £145

 “The legacy of each Space Marine Chapter is coloured heavily by the events of the Horus Heresy, but few wear the trauma of brother turning on brother than the Blood Angels. The death of Sanguinius runs through the veins of every Blood Angel, and through it, they are cursed with a deep genetic flaw that leads to violent, all-consuming madness. Those who suffer from this Black Rage become part of the Death Company, deployed as shock troopers to be redeemed by a glorious death in battle.

The Blood Angels Army Set contains a sizable force of Death Company troops, under the command of Lemartes, Guardian of the Lost and Astorath the Grim, who are reimagined in fantastic new plastic miniatures.

They are joined by 10 Jump Pack Intercessors, 10 Assault Intercessors, and a terrifying Brutalis Dreadnought. You can turn these into their Death Company variants found in the Codex with four new Blood Angels upgrade kits that are included, each of which contains a pile of sculpted shoulder pads, Terminator Sergeant components, extra weapons, heads, specific Death Company pieces for use with Mk X Tacticus armour, vehicle icons, and a whole reliquary’s worth of relics and icons. To finish things off, a new Death Company transfer sheet featuring 293 transfers is included.

This set is also the first place you’ll be able to get Codex Supplement: Blood Angels, with a glorious cover found only in this set that features Blood Angels artwork and red foil details. Inside you’ll find all the background on the Blood Angels and their forces, alongside the rules you need to field them in battle.

Three Detachments exemplify the sons of Sanguinius’ vengeful approach to war, and 15 datasheets cover their unique forces. There are also rules for a new combat patrol featuring the Sanguinary Guard, and expanded Oathsworn Campaign rules for Crusade. Finally, a set of 18 datasheet cards – three Combat Patrol and 15 regular – keeps book-keeping to a minimum during battle.”

 

Legion Sabre Strike Tank Squadron $52 €41 £31.50

 “The Sabre tank was developed in the latter days of the Great Crusade, a high-speed vehicle designed so that the Legiones Astartes could more easily deploy heavy weapons to the frontlines at great haste. This speed also allowed it to outflank larger armoured vehicles, bringing its main weapon and sabre missiles to bear against weaker flank and rear armour to great effect.

This box builds eight Legion Sabre Strike Tanks, with a choice of either anvilus autocannons or neutron blasters, plus a hull-mounted heavy bolter or multi-melta. It also contains a Legiones Astartes Vehicle transfer sheet with 1130 transfers.”

 

Termite Assault Drills $52 €41 £31.50

 “Besieging fortifications was long the preserve of bombers and long-range siege weaponry, but the invention of the Termite Assault Drill allowed the Legiones Astartes to deploy their shock troopers into the heart of opposing fortresses from beneath the ground, their subterranean trajectory protecting them from interception. These transports continued to be used during the Horus Heresy, as Loyalist and Traitor alike used them to assault otherwise impregnable fortifications.

This box contains eight Termite Assault drills, and a Legiones Astartes Vehicle transfer sheet that contains 1130 transfers.”

Leman Russ Exterminator & Annihilator Squadron $52 €41 £31.50

 “Few tanks received as many variants as the Leman Russ, the workhorse of the Solar Auxilia. The Leman Russ Exterminator with its paired autocannon was designed to obliterate infantry formations in mere moments, while the Leman Russ Annihilator was fitted with a twinned lascannon that made for a reliable anti-tank solution.

This box builds eight of either variant, with a choice of hull-mounted heavy bolter or lascannon, and comes with a Solar Auxilia vehicle transfer sheet with 288 decals.”

 

For the Emperor!
