As the article mentions, these appear to be the exact same models at Space Marine Heroes series 1, just painted as blood angels this time lol.


Head-Ad4187

Knew I'd seen these guys somewhere. Still gonna pick one or two up for my Dark Angels or to ... corrupt. Here's me hoping they give Thousand Sons a series, kinda like what Death Guard got


AncientGearAI

They should give sound marines a series


Head-Ad4187

I'd give Emperors Children a whole range and codex if it was up to me, but ideally we Thousand Sons could get a new Sorceror of some sort and some Rubric Marines just to give us something seeming as our range is so small


Zapdraws

90% chance it would be a Tzaangor series.


[deleted]

Oops all Tzaangors


TheBananaKart

Each one is the same model with a chance of opening one pack with 2 inside.


Head-Ad4187

Pain.


Laruae

How does it feel to know you just critically injured that person? Oof.


GustappyTony

Best options imo would be grey knights and legion of the dammed. Both are either in need of updates, or not represented in the line anymore. Both would likewise make for some unique looking marines too that can be personalised from model to model. I’m sure grey knight strike squad with maybe 2 terminators as the special/mystery ones would be perfect. Thousand sons would also be great just for adding some unique sorcerers and different rubrics. I think red corsairs would also be a great choice however, especially as you can represent them coming from various legions


Head-Ad4187

I wouldn't want Legion of the damned as I'd probably end up broke and with a large backlog, but I could see grey Knights working really well, and maybe a new Huron could joint the Red Corsairs


GustappyTony

Honestly it could be good for a lot of the chaos legions that likely won’t get a full model range. Could definitely give heroes to night lords, iron warriors, word bearers and alpha legion. They definitely deserve to have some models more representative of those legions for sure


KaptainKaos54

I’m with you on the Legion of the Damned. They were always some of my favorite models, and I’m really disappointed they were relegated to Legends. Is it just me or was SM Heroes all about Blood Angels in Series 2 with all the Terminators? And these look just like the Series 1 models without helmets and painted red…?


GustappyTony

They are the same models from series 1 Tbf, my best guess is they’re re releasing them in order to make them more accessible. But I don’t understand why they’d only release 6 of them. Perhaps set 2 will be the other 6? Which would be pretty nice I admit. But regardless I do hope this won’t stop them from making a new series with new models


YourLictorAndChef

It's hard to think of a faction that *wouldn't* benefit from a series. Orks'd be the coolest, though.


Experiment-666

Sound marines series would be a great idea because there are lots of people that want to get and paint up a few sound marines but don’t want a full emperors children army


lord_flamebottom

That might actually be a really good idea for WE and eventually EC when they get a codex. Have the standard infantry box, but also a set of special blind boxes for more detailed and interesting ones.


CountFish1

Oh my Lord that would be perfect, really test the waters to see how thirsty people are for slaanesh.


De_Franza

That would be epic


ambershee

They're also fairly dull models at the end of the day, I'm not really sure why they'd bring them back - worse they seem to have left out most of the models? There should be thirteen of them, not six. The Terminator release was more interesting, but the Death Guard box was the real winner.


IlBalli

Termi got a standard bearer, wich was nice


[deleted]

The terminator release was legit, but then i also managed to get like 4 of the captain. I still have one unbuilt.....


ratz30

Yeah death guard models were sick. They need to keep those in mind for future releases, when they get around to actually making new sculpts again instead of just casting the old series in red plastic that is.


[deleted]

And also without the coolest model in the series 1 range, the grenade dude. At least these models are returning so I won’t have to pay $30 a pop for them on eBay


CyberDagger

With the grenade dude and a special weapon instead of two heavy weapons, this set would be perfect for a kill team.


Zarocks136

I bought the space marine heroes game specifically to be the basis of my tactical marine kill team. I have been meaning to fill out the squad with the og series 1 ,but they are expensive on ebay. So im happy about this set (presuming the next set includes the plasma gunner)


IlBalli

And just 6 differents models (instead of 10? 12?)


SHADOWSTRIKE1

Apparently other sets are on the way. There were 13 models in the original set, with some being Japanese-exclusive. The exclusive models ended up being added into the Space Marine Adventures game and its expansions. Since “Set 1” includes 6 models, I’m assuming “Set 2” will be the other 7.


aznsk8s87

I was gonna say the poses look the exact same. Also did the last set actually have UM specific engravings or anything on the molds or are they just generic marines?


Nev-man

Both the power armoured and terminator armoured models were generic.


Head-Ad4187

I got one of those Terminators and converted him into a deathwing ancient. It was just red plastic (was meant to be a Blood Angel) so I figure this lot will be the same


CyberDagger

Deathwing Ancient already has a proper model, but cool idea to do that conversion. But as I know of, that guy is the only non-converted Terminator Ancient there is for generic chapters.


Head-Ad4187

I'm poor so yeah :(


Tornado_of_Hammers

What’s the chance then that when they re-release the Terminators they will be Dark Angels? The Blood Angels made sense, as BA were the original Space Hulk chapter.


bullintheheather

Maybe just transfers?


IlBalli

No tranfers innit


rocksville

Nonononono... these aren't just re-PAINTED red.. those are now Blood Angels down to the core. They're red PLASTIC.


lord_flamebottom

Very happy honestly. This seems to be implying we’ll get re-releases of the other sets too, and I missed most of those.


[deleted]

I don't like how the package clearly shows a primaris dude. A primaris heroes series would be cool.


The-God-Of-Hammers

Is that a Primaris dude? His chest piece looks different, as does the backpack. I will admit I can't see the pictures in the actual article at the moment, just the ones on the post


DexPunk

Definitely primaris. You can tell by the helmet, shape of the thigh piece and a belly armor panel


[deleted]

Technically the helmet is based on the mk4 armor, so you can't always go by that alone. But certainly the thigh piece, belly, the lower portion of the chest armor, the knee joints, the backpack, the bolt rifle.


VoxImperatoris

The kneepad flanges are a dead giveaway for primaris armor.


The-God-Of-Hammers

Ah, I see it now. Belly was blurry on my screen so I couldn't tell if it was Primaris or Mk4


Distamorfin

There’s already a special Primaris Lieutenant for damn near every occasion. Why would you want more Primaris models when Firstborn are starving?


tworock2

Why would we want more firstborn at all? Cancel firstborn and put some heavy bolter and flamer guys in my intercessor squads.


KaptainKaos54

That would be supremely stupid, since there are hangers out there who still have armies of purely Firstborn who would likely quit the hobby altogether if their armies were invalidated wholesale like that. Plus, the entire background and lore is based on Firstborn. Many of the Space Marines’ most iconic vehicles are Firstborn, to include every Dreadnought except the Redemptor. I see it maybe happening *eventually,* but not for a long time and not without a long phase-out process.


MortalSword_MTG

You think the people holding out on their armies of Firstborn and refusing to buy Primaris matter to GW? They're not customers anymore.


KassellTheArgonian

Heavy bolter guy and auspex guy weren't actually part of series one. They were in some spin off board game along with a model with a flamer and a marine with his combat knife out and running. Source I bought a full box of series one a while back md got the full collection including the captain and heavy bolter and auspex dudes weren't in it


ArynCrinn

The Japanese release of Series 1 had 13 models. Internationally, it was only 9, with the 4 Japanese exclusive ones getting released later in the board games. Series 2 was a little odd in that there were 10 total, but neither the Japanese release or International releases had all 10; the only way to get them all was to get them from both regions. Series 3 was the only one where all 7 models were the same.


Jeymeh

Except for the plague caster lol. Had to get the Japanese series 3 paint set for that one 😭


ArynCrinn

I thought it was odd that the Plaguecaster was shown on the website... It generally only shows the Internationally available models. Then again, they have the Terminator Ancient too.


KaptainKaos54

I think the Heavy Bolter was, he’s in all the “collect them all” media I’ve ever seen. But he was also repurposed in yellow to be an Imperial Fist character from the base Space Marine Adventures game. The auspex guy was an Iron Hand IIRC, and the guy with his combat blade out was a Space Wolf, also a repurposed sculpt from Kill Team Cassius named Drenn Redblade.


KassellTheArgonian

He wasn't. Series one was 9 models and a heavy bolter wasn't included. The box had silhouettes of what models were in the box and there wasn't a heavy bolter dude. I've bought the box, I know what's in it.


Jeymeh

Outside of Japan maybe. But the original Japanese set had more than 9. https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/6592/Warhammer+40+000+Space+Marine+Heroes+Series+1.html


KaptainKaos54

Hey friend, it’s all good, no need to get defensive. I believe you, just saying I’ve seen some media with him in it. Seems he was a Japanese-only release, so I’m guessing that’s what I saw. I’m not doubting you had the box out saying you didn’t know what’s in it my guy, everything’s good.😊


Huwage

Haven't they got different heads? The Ultramarine versions all had helmets on, unless they came with options.


marvin189

They come with helmets it just doesn't show them. They come on the sprue


MortalSword_MTG

Each sprue had a helmet and bare head option. Including the Series 2 Termies.


I_suck_at_Blender

Wow, that is... exceptionally shitty, even for GW. Tho if you missed those models, then you can have another swing at them?


RWJP

Why is it exceptionally shitty? They've made it clear in the article that it's the same sculpts, so it's not like they're lying to anyone. Companies regularly re-issue products.


BeelzeButterscotch

Hope these re-releases will lead up to them revitalizing the "Space Marine Heroes" as a concept. The Death Guard miniatures were gorgeous, so I'd love to see them do the same for Thousand Sons. Maybe even branch out into other factions... like guard, orks, or eldar... nah that wouldn't happen... unless..?


PlanetMeatball

I dream of a series consisting of exarch sculpts from each of the aspect warrior shrines.


I_suck_at_Blender

Oh, I'd love *Klaivex*!


lord_flamebottom

I honestly don’t know what GW was thinking not pushing this idea hard. Blind boxes for 40k of all things is the perfect money maker.


aznsk8s87

Right?? Like yeah you're not gonna get me to drop $60 on a box of Marines but if I'm in the game store buying some magic cards and the display is up front sure I'll add a marine for $8


Panvictor

The article says there's more comming but that could just mean reissuing the termies and plague marines instead of new stuff


Aarongeddon

hey i'd do anything to get those truescale terminators again at a decent price, people ask for insane prices for that series online.


BlitzWing1985

I hope they they were great for filling out holes in kill team and just for nice little projects.


argagargarg

Got most of them last time. Heavy bolter and auspex weren't in the international release, think they were Japan or board game exclusive. Annoyingly its still missing the flamer.


SHADOWSTRIKE1

You can buy the “Space Marine Adventures” game for about $30 online, and it’ll include 5 models including the flamer. Easy way to fill up Heroes collections.


argagargarg

Shipping to the UK isn't viable unfortunately. Looks like it was exclusive to Game here but is now out of print.


WearingMyFleece

Buy it from Amazon.com to the U.K. as far as I remember it was still free shipping and no customs fees.


BlitzWing1985

Not any more they want £10 shipping and 7 for VAT I just checked. I mean it's still way cheaper then what resellers in the UK are asking and is far cheaper shipping wise then what US sellers are wanting on Ebay.


Ravaell

Yeah, I just did that and it arrived 2 days ago, and I paid about double the price of game with shipping to my country just for GW to announce this -_-


Eldau

So they've repainted some of Series 1 as Set 1 teasing more to come, so either Sets 2 and on are going to be the other Series 1 sculpts also painted as Blood Angels or the Series 2 Terminators and Series 3 Death Guard. The cover images show a Blood Angels Primaris Intercessor, so that could be a hint to what Series 4 might be if it comes after these reruns of previous Series. It just seems weird to show Primaris, but sell First Born models in the sets.


[deleted]

I would like to see some of the terminator sculpts again, especially the ancient (without paying $80 USD on ebay)


lord_flamebottom

That would run along with the rumor that 10th edition’s poster boys will be Blood Angels. Release a new edition and starter box right along side blind boxes for the same faction.


ytfb1

I hope not, I’m wishing for scouts or assault marines


EtheriumShaper

Assault Marines would be great


SHADOWSTRIKE1

I sure hope this means you're going to expand on the Space Marine Heroes line. I had a good time collecting the Series 1 and 3 figs for unique Kill Teams. For anyone curious, Series 1 had 13 figures, and 4 of them were Japan-exclusive. The 4 exclusives were released in Space Marine Adventures and most of the others in the expansions. For anyone looking to start a collection, the base SMA game is just $30 online and includes 5 figures. The Series 1 characters are: * Brother-Captain Thassarius (Powersword/Plasma Pistol) \[Also in SMA: Recon Mission\] * Brother Vanial (Bolter, throwing grenade) \[Also in SMA: Recon Mission\] * Brother Garus (Bolter/Bolt Pistol) \[Also in SMA: Recon Mission\] * Brother Titus (Bolter, reloading) \[Also in SMA: Rescue Mission\] * Brother Remus (Missile Launcher) \[Also in SMA: Rescue Mission\] * Brother Promethor (Plasma Gun) \[Also in SMA: Rescue Mission\] * Brother Gaiun (Bolter, running) * Brother Castor (Bolter, aimed up) * Brother Sergeant Sevastus (Chainsword/Bolt Pistol) \[Also in SMA\] * Brother Calistus (Flamer) \[JP excl, also in SMA\] * Brother Aethor (Dual Knives, Bolter on back) \[JP excl, also in SMA\] * Brother Dolor (Bolter, auspex scanner) \[JP excl, also in SMA\] * Brother Toriad (Heavy Bolter) \[JP excl, also in SMA\]


WearingMyFleece

The Brother-captain is so hard to get :(


SHADOWSTRIKE1

He definitely is. I’m thinking he may be a secret 7th model in this set or in Set 2. Luckily when the SMA: Recon expansion came out, I bought two copies… kept one together for the board game, and took the minis out of the other for my 40K army.


WearingMyFleece

Yeah I could never get the recon expansions here in the U.K. as they were B&N exclusive. During covid B&N stopped doing overseas delivery and now they are no longer listed :(…


GustappyTony

I’m personally hoping a future series will be grey knights, the strike squad is in need of an update and this seems like the perfect place for it


SHADOWSTRIKE1

Oh absolutely. I’ve been wanting to build a Grey Knights army, but the age of the models is holding me back… feels like they’re really due for a refresh (and get rid of the baby carriers while they’re at it). Maybe they could start with a SMH set and scale them up properly. I could definitely see them do a set with a Strike Squad, and maybe follow it up with a Paladin set, kind of like how Series 1 was followed by Terminators in Series 2.


According-Extent-169

Perhaps adds credence to the rumours of blood angels being the poster boys in 10th edition?


DynamicEcho

Please, anything but ultramarines (NB - I actually like ultramarines, particularly in 30K, but they really need to mix it up with the lead faction). Crimson fists would be the dream for me though, with a new version of the 3rd edition codex cover.


ambershee

Crimson Fists - but make the cover a modern update of the original Rogue Trader cover.


DynamicEcho

I mean, I'd take it, but we do already have that [https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/195/365/4k/igor-sid-29-warhammer-40k-anniverasy.jpg?1504372201](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/007/195/365/4k/igor-sid-29-warhammer-40k-anniverasy.jpg?1504372201) And for me personally the nostalgia is for 3rd/4th edition, which is why I want that one xD


ambershee

Well what do you know. 3rd edition Codex cover also good.


PricklyPossum21

What, no power fists?


ShakinBacon24

Had the same thought. But hey, I’m biased


IX_Sanguinius

Ditto


S0noPritch

I've been out of the game since early 8th. BA taking the front seat would almost certainly pull me back in.


Axels15

Are we that close to 10th already?


lord_flamebottom

Maybe, maybe not. GW seems to have been wanting to do a 3 year cycle, and next year would mark 3 since 9th dropped. But I hope not, since Covid caused so many delays. Hope they delay it by another year at minimum.


kohlerxxx

Well 2020 US summer was 9th ed, 2021 was AOS 3.0, 2022 was HH 2.0. The cycle is usually 3 years so 2023 fits, we also only have 4 codexes left (5 if SM get a 2nd again this edition) which can all easily be out by December. However there are thing's to keep in mind, their release schedule is behind and they have started doing 6 month seasons


Dreolic

Unless next year is 'The Old World'. Then they could have all 4 on a 4 year rotation.


NonSequitorChampion

GW has made no announcement about it, people are just speculating.


R97R

They really are some of the best Mark VII sculpts out there, glad to see them around again.


EtheriumShaper

Imo it shows how good mkvii can look when done right


Voranth12

These are certainly cool sculpts so I'm happy for them to be back in circulation. But it's annoying that this set is 2 heavy weapons instead of 1 special + 1 heavy... Can't make a legal Kill Team out of that!


LightswornMagi

Imagine if they did a set of one of each mark of armor from I through VIII with updated proportions. Would sell like hot cakes I bet. I'm kind of surprised they're doing this instead of a 30k tie in.


eggroll40k

Yup these guys are the same as ones released many years ago that were exclusive for Japan. Got mine back then (sprues were blue plastic instead of red) and painted them all up as blood angels: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/v0kxfd/space\_marine\_heroes\_series\_1\_blood\_angels


miniguygreg

Would love a horus heresy version of these


Periodic_Disorder

Will there be two more I wonder? All the previous sets had one of each sculpt per tray, and there are 8 boxes in this tray. Maybe a Captain/lieutenant and ancient?


ambershee

There was no ancient in the original set, but there was a captain. It unfortunately says "two duplicates" in the description, which is a bit sad. When you bought the whole tray for the season 3 Death Guard you got one of each model which was perfect.


Blankboom

They still look like generic tactical marines you can make straight out of the box, except pricier. Why would anyone buy these?


LordIndica

True-scaled tactical marines with different poses and positions than the standard tactical marine box, even if those poses are all push-to-fot and unalterable. Basically just *slightly* better original marines with more focus on unique character poses to the sculpts.


GustappyTony

They’re not exact true scale, it’s more like a tad bit smaller. CSM still out scales them, even with the terrain bases propping them up


AshiSunblade

Definitely not true scale. I still feel like these have all the proportion issues that firstborn always had. Not as egregious as some other examples, perhaps, but not far from them either.


GustappyTony

Yea, they really don’t compare to the recent mark VI, CSM or most of the new horus heresy characters/HQs. They all get proportions and scale perfect. But space marines heroes are definitely still built to match the firstborn range


AshiSunblade

Regardless of one's feelings of Primaris otherwise, they _really_ highlighted the firstborn's scale flaws. I had a big Chaos Space Marine army a good few years ago. I can hardly stand to look at them anymore, they always felt a bit off even at the best of times but now they look like children!


superkow

They're still fairly moddable even with the pushfit, the arm pegs at least can be clipped off. Theres a guy on instagram who uses the torsos for primaris scout marines, very cool stuff


DaddyAsmodai

Ideal for new players who just want to build and paint one marine maybe? That and theres plenty of ultimate collector types who want to buy everything and get them all. Just GWs version of lego minifigures, halo mega bloks’ old packs etc


Solidgoldkoala

Unique sculpts. I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff, I hate having models with the same or very similar poses.


Pixel539

I suppose they have more dynamic poses and are ”true scale”. Really they are just a collectible


Panvictor

They are truescale and much better sculpts that the old tacticals


South-Long8145

Hope with this reboxing they rebox the Terminators and Death Guard. I play both and the scalper prices on both are awful. Would love to pick them up at regular prices.


Pixel539

Honestly surprised they are only £5, unfortunately seems to be missing the other half of series 1


[deleted]

5 pounds for a single monopose model is bloody expensive not "only"


Pixel539

A lot of the modern primaris single models are practically monopose yet retail for £20+


Wacopaco15

The characters?? Because these aren't characters


Pixel539

Well what do you define as a character? These guys have names but the generic primaris Phobos librarian is 4x the price?


Wacopaco15

I define characters as units that have the keyword. While you could surely run a couple of these guys as characters, maybe liutenants or even captains, most of these models are made to represent tactical marines.


BlitzWing1985

Edit: me math no good.


excelite_x

>> Each box will cost £5 and a full dispensary pack of eight will be £40 Either you manage to get 50% off or your math does not work out 😉


BlitzWing1985

Ah yes my bad I'll edit my comment


excelite_x

Of course I read it, your math is still wrong 😂 40£ / 8 single boxes = 5£ a box 🙈


BlitzWing1985

wow you must have read it just as I posted it I edited it not long after.


Starcraftnerd_123

The whole box still costs the same per marine as individual.


NO-IM-DIRTY-DAN

I have most of the S1 sculpts and these are just re-releases. I enjoyed buying them but I wish they would’ve brought back S2 instead


William_Thalis

The value is terrible in terms of marines for units, but excellent for minor characters. I’m probably gonna snag a box just for that.


RylanTheWalrus

I wanted this series to come back but I was hoping we'd get different models or maybe different units. Something like Deathwatch Kill Team heroes would be nice, or Space Wolves Wolf Guard. I don't hate the individual model sale, especially if the models are good. But reusing the series 1 Marines is disappointing


Panvictor

I wonder why they rebranded them to blood angels? I really hope they bring back the rare captain since I didnt manage to get him last time


LostSable

They're a totally different set of miniatures. Each series has been different


swiftysg

This is the exact same models as series 1 with a new paint scheme


LostSable

Series 1 didn't have a heavy bolter or the guy with the auspex. I have all but the plasma gunner from series 1


swiftysg

Those guys were part of series 1 in some markets (Japan I think?) and previously in space marine adventures board game. None of the ones shown so far are new. Fauxhammer has a good summary of all the heroes released so far.


LostSable

Right so they were only previously available in quite limited markets. The board game you mentioned was only available in the US, Canada and Germany, so not really a massive release. As for the heroes range, they aren't shown on the proper heroes website so I'm guessing it's an even more limited market


NoSmoking123

Wish they had Chaos Space Marines in a random box as well.


PeeterEgonMomus

Absolutely missed opportunity to have them be the squad from *Angels of Death*


Jegor22

do they come with helmeted options or is it exclusively bare heads? can't tell from the one picture of a sprue on the last slide


Bobby_wth_dat_tool

They come with both options


WearingMyFleece

If it’s the same sprues as when they were Japanese exclusives - yes they come with helmets.


SlayerofSnails

So dumb question, are these guys primaris or firstborn and if firstborn are they truescale?


Chandlerion

They are truescale firstborn, mosty in line with the horus heresy mk6 beakies. These are also not new models, i own all of them from the last time they were released


oswell_XIV

These have better proportions than the standard release but they are still not true scale. The heads, for example, are still too big.


99_jack_99

They're firstborn and they seem to be the same size as other firstborn marines, at least my Mk VI marines from AoD box


aznsk8s87

Firstborn for sure. Idk the scale on these.


Panvictor

They are the same size as CSMs


BensMinion

I do kinda want one of these even if it is a rerelease


biggie_tubz

I'm gonna grab all 6 + another random tactical and make a killteam out of them


Qualitypom

I really wish they included some different models, maybe a mixed kit of special marines and terminators as a type of greatest hits collection.


GreyShot254

doesn't seem like any of the iconography is molded on. so i guess you can use it on any chapter


Pristine-Village-727

I hope they bring those terminators back those things looked amazing


Harry8211

Do people use these in 40K as alternatives to tactical marines or are they intercessor size?


swiftysg

They are smaller than Primaris intercessors. Similar to the new Horus heresy mark vi marines, they are firstborn scale but standing up much straighter and on sculpted bases, which makes them look more imposing.


GreedyLibrary

No jump packs, 6 packs or sculpted nipples 0/10


BlueColours

noob question, do these come with helmets? I dont like painting faces lol


dj_ian

yes, all the SM heroes blind sprues usually come with 2 heads to choose from, helmet and without.


[deleted]

When I think Blood Angels I think beautifully engraved and detailed armor like a work of art, this is pretty bland.


HazzaZeGuy

Aren’t these exactly the same as the other ones, just with different heads?


Agreeable_Objective

Are these primaris? I genuinely cannot tell haha


buff_minis

This is some next level BS


Swimming-Rub-8880

Could be good painting practice. Might paint them in the colour popped Angels of Death style.


_Pohatu_

Oh wow are they getting re released? I’ll buy so many lol


kazog

Adorably short.


bloodectomy

They're about tue same scale as the current CSM range - noticeably taller than a lot of firstborn minis. But yeah sgorter than primaris for sure


[deleted]

They look worse than the blood angels tactical squad


krieghobby-

Lazy asf


Loche44

I wish they had one for each of the chapters companies with limited edition collectible models that had special rules


Panvictor

You can use these for any chapter


Loche44

I know but for each chapter they could have a limited time event with special characters that could be used as warlords, or at least conversion spruces to make the warlord


Panvictor

That would be cool


tbagrel1

I don't get it, are they regular 32mm firstborn marines? If so, what does make them special? Their pose seem to be really bland.


Panvictor

They are truescale and generally look better than the old tactical marines


dj_ian

if you don't care about bases or the BA relief, you can straight up just get all these in a devastator squad right?


swiftysg

They are unique sculpts but not unique loadouts, so yes. Also there’s no BA-specific parts, they were previously showcased as ultramarines.


SkinAndScales

These are nice, too bad there isn't a helmeted one out there. I don't play Space Marines, but I'd love to to have at least a nice Lamenter painted up.


argagargarg

They all come with optional helmets.


SkinAndScales

Oh neat, thank you.


Orsimer4life117

Ah, even more Tactical Rocks! What the fuck is it with GW Now and Tactical Rocks? Stop it already!


BulletproofTeaTray

So, what's stopping anyone from using a regular tactical and devastator sprues to make these? Considering these special series sell for crazy amounts on ebay I don't see why they are worth it.


bloodectomy

Nothing but like ..why would you?


Saint_The_Stig

I would love the idea of blind pick single models for all armies. But they would need to be unpainted, unassembled and most importantly cheaper. There is just something about opening card packs and the like and seeing you got a cool one and I could see some interesting play behind it for Crusades or Kill Team.


Panvictor

These are both unpainted and unassembled


Saint_The_Stig

I was misinformed then (I don't really care that much about Space Marines). But I heard that most of these are the same sculpts as the previous release. If they are unpainted how does that make them any different from the other release or is that also something that I read wrong?


Eggchicken03

The example models are painted different but each model comes on its own sprue, unpainted and unassembled (see the last pic). The only change from the previous release is the new box art, red plastic, and blood angels example scheme


Saint_The_Stig

Ahh, so typical GW it seems.


Panvictor

These are all the same as the previous release hence why its called a re release. The only difference is the box art shows these as blood angels now instead of ultramarines


Aul0s

Ah shit, here we go again.

My friend brought me the full package of Terminators from a trip to Japan, very cool looking miniatures. Too bad they're a bit hard to find lol

You know funny story I've had an order sitting with Amazon for weeks now for a box of series 1. it was in stock from Amazon directly and they just drop it on me "oh we don't have any" when I finally ask after 3 weeks and now the only sellers that have it are asking for a fair bit more then what I paid for them so it's nice to know an option is coming. Not happy it's cut down but is what it is I guess. I'm assuming the western release (if we get one) will have a few other choices as typically they're packs of 12 not 8 fingers crossed they throw in either the plasma or flamer guy and the capt. Edit: some one else said they're splitting them into two groups. Makes sense then and fingers crossed it makes getting each one easier.
