Your veterans will need bodies to go with their heads – look no further than this set of five MKIII Veteran Torsos. These heavily-armoured breastplates are lavished with the posh heraldry of Ultramar. Ultramarines MKIV Torsos Unsurprisingly the Ultramarines option features a lot of guys on foot. While obviously a decent starter set for someone who wants to play Ultramarines, this is probably one of the harder sets to apply to a different chapter since five of the characters have lots of Ultramarines iconography on them that’s a pain to convert. Existing Space Marine players aren’t likely to get much use out of this box since Hellblasters and Intercessors are commonplace. Storm of Chogoris
The XIII Legion gene-seed was noted for instilling its recruits with supremely balanced military minds, vigorous one moment and cautious the next. They employed the Strength of Wisdom to fight as one cohesive whole, combining firepower with nearby comrades to destroy the enemy piece by piece. Through absolutely no fault of his own, Imperium Secundus didn’t work out, and Roboute set out for Terra with nearly his entire Legion in tow. Will he get there in time, or will the diabolical Ruinstorm delay the Ultramarines’ wrath for just long enough? Only time will tell. Contents: Iron Father Feirros, Primaris Techmarine, 2 Redemptor Dreadnoughts, 10 Intercessors, 2 (?) Iron Hands Upgrade Spruesok, so just before I get into it, I need to call out the Elephant in the room. and no, I don’t have any inside knowledge of these boxes before the release, well. Well, like most other content creators I know how to find out the prices of releases on Monday before said release. So the box prices below are confirmed in the Uk. but they are assumed for other regions. Plans are great, we love plans, but sometimes you plan so hard you miss the Unification Wars and have to make up for lost time. See, while everyone else was blowing techno-barbarians to bits, the ‘War-Born’ were busy scooping up the best recruits they could find from all over Terra, and only saw their first engagement alongside the Imperial Fists and Luna Wolves during the First Pacification of Luna. While not necessarily the most competitive force at the moment, Space Marines remain a fantastic way for new players to try out Warhammer 40k and a fun way for players of other factions to try out a different play style. Space Marines also feature a lot of flat surfaces that are easy to paint, so it might be a good way to try something different if you’re burned out on your current army. Of the boxed sets I would recommend the March of Iron to start with, as it includes enough models to form a Patrol detachment, the models are easily applied to any Chapter, and big stompy robots are a ton of fun. Players could also consider the Bastion Strike Force if they like the look the Gravis units. The Ravenstrike Battle Force and Storm of Chogoris are the most specialized and seem more useful to players who have a specific need to expand their existing armies. To further defend your Dreadnought, you can discourage dangerous assault units with some units of sniper rifle-armed scouts in cover – these can be used to surround the model and prevent it from being charged, or used to control large areas of the table and prevent units deploying there.
One of the more specialized boxes, this Battle Force’s primary source of appeal is the two Invictor Warsuits which offer a viable combination of speed and firepower. Unfortunately it’s hampered by the Reivers, as Space Marines are already quite good at killing unarmored targets and abilities that effect Leadership rarely do anything. Outside of Shrike the box is easily applied to other Chapters. If this boxed set included Infiltrators instead of the Reivers that Games Workshop loves to put into everything (no matter how few actually see the battlefield) then it would be a lot more appealing. Contents: Marneus Calgar and Victrix Honor Guard, Chief Librarian Tigurius, 3 Bladeguard Veterans, 10 Intercessors, 10 Hellblasters, 2 (?) Ultramarines Upgrade Sprues

This is unquestionably the most specialized box set revealed, which makes it appealing for anyone who needs more bikes in their army and easily ignored by everyone else. This box also highlights how few Primaris HQ options have any real mobility; if there was an Inceptor Captain or another Primaris character on a bike then the box would have likely included that instead of forcing Kor’sarro to walk. The contents are easy to apply to a wide variety of Chapters, with even Khan being readily converted into a particularly thematic character. Now GW, wheres the Space Wolves Box with Ragnar? The Blood Angels Box with Mephiston? and we all know that surely the Dark Angels box will drop as the first place we can get Azrael. The Ultramarines Redemptor Dreadnought is extremely efficient; you’ll be able to make maximum use of both your shooting and melee weapons by charging into combat, then gunning down your opponents with the full force of your weapons. MKIV ‘Maximus Armour’ offers a balance of agility and durability, and finds itself right at home in the Legions of Ultramar, which are renowned for their strategic flexibility. Customised by the artificers of the 500 Worlds, these MKIV torsos feature additional armour plating over their power cables – which leaves plenty of room for fancy sculpted Legion motifs. Ultramarines Veteran Helmets and MKIII Veteran Torsos We’ve been taking a look through all of the Legiones Astartes lately in the run-up to Warhammer: The Horus Heresy’s new edition, and giving all of them a nice, balanced review. Even the ones that we’re, well, a little concerned about. This time, it’s the turn of Ultramar’s finest – or as they’d call themselves, the Bestus Marinii .*
Great Deal
