Review: Legiones Astartes MkII Assault Squad & Fellblade
We had to wait a few weeks after the launch of the Saturnine box and the 3rd Edition of The Horus Heresy. But now the battlefields of the Age of Darkness tremble once more, as alongside the new MkII Assault Squad the plastic version of the Fellblade super-heavy battle tank thunders onto the retail shelves. In this review, we’ll take a detailed look at both new kits.
Showcase: Sons of Horus 1st Company Saturnine Dreadnought
From the moment it was first announced, I knew I had to have the Saturnine Dreadnought for my Sons of Horus collection. Once I’d finished my review of the Horus Heresy: Saturnine box (you can find high-res sprue images and tips for magnetising here), I…
Review: Horus Heresy: Saturnine
Time to unbox the hottest release of the year: the new Saturnine box for Horus Heresy. The set includes a weighty new hardcover rulebook, a bucketload of sprues, and introduces the reimagined Saturnine Terminators, who bring a hefty (and controversial new silhouette to the 31st Millennium. In our review, we take a close look at all the new kits, with ultra high-res sprue images and scale comparisons that show just how these new designs measure up – quite literally – to their predecessors.
Review: Horus Heresy Tarantulas & Rapier Batteries
In this post, I unbox and review four new heavy support kits for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – the Tarantula Sentry Guns, the Tarantula Missile Battery, and both Rapier Weapons Battery sets. With redesigned sculpts, a generous array of weapon options, and some clever design touches, these kits aim to bolster your Legion’s firepower in style. Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside the boxes.
Showcase: Blood Angels Legionary in MkVI armour
In the turbulent times of the Horus Heresy, the Blood Angels Legion stood as a bastion of courage and integrity amidst the chaos. Today, we present a Blood Angels Legionary, clad in the revered MkVI “Corvus” armour. This “grimdark” paint job portrays a warrior from the latter stages of the Horus Heresy, a period marked by both tragedy and heroism for the IX. Legion. Find out more about this model (and how to paint it) in this post.
Short review: Legions Imperialis Legiones Astartes & Solar Auxilia Support
With the Stormvault Skirmish Case, Games Workshop is redefining miniature transportation. Instead of traditional foam inserts, they’re introducing soft silicone bristles for a secure grip. Is this a brilliant innovation or an overpriced gimmick? We’ll find out in our review.
Showcase: Oldhammer Leman Russ, Primarch of the Space Wolves Legion
Just before Christmas, my local Element Games held a competition for a winter themed miniature. Sadly I didn’t win, but really loved painting up the Lord of Winter and Ruin – Oldhammer Style! I present to you: the Rogue Trader Leman Russ model.
Review: Horus Heresy Land Raider Proteus
Put on your nostalgia glasses, the plastic Land Raider Proteus kit finally arrives for us to review. Based on the proportions and design of the original plastic Land Raider from 1988, the new plastic kit offers a faithful recreation of the Forge World resin model. On top of that, you can also choose between building a Land Raider Proteus Carrier or Explorator. Find out more in this review.
Review: Horus Heresy Leviathan Dreadnought with ranged weapons
After the plastic close combat Leviathan has taken the hearts of hobbyists by storm, now comes the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought with ranged weapons. In our review, we take a look at the new ranged combat sprue and show you what options you can look forward to (and what you will, unfortunately, have to do without).
Review: Horus Heresy Sicaran Battle Tank (plastic)
Vroom vroom! The plastic Sicaran Battle Tank enters the battlefield of the Age of Darkness. This high-speed destroyer tank was designed by Ferrus Manus and Guilliman to outflank slower vehicles and has become a fan-favourite for its potent accelerator autocannon and unique design that is so different from the classic Rhino and Land Raider hull based Space Marine tanks. In this review, we’ll check if Games Workshop has managed to translate the model faithfully into plastic or if some corners had to be cut.
