Looks like we may have missed some new Space Marine releases this week from Forge World. Come see the upgrade set no one’s been talking about.
Straight outta 2004, the Red Scorpions have gotten a fresh new upgrade set for Vanguard vets, that features Carab Culln before his rise to power in the chapter.

RED SCORPIONS VANGUARD VETERAN UPGRADE SET £19
Description
An uncompromising and steadfast Chapter, the Red Scorpions have stood in defence of the Imperium for over five thousand years. Stalwart traditionalists, they are staunch protectors of the Imperium’s order and authority.
Later rising to lead the Chapter as Lord High Commander, Carab Culln served with distinction when leading his Vanguard Veteran squad during the Siege of Vraks. As with many of the Veterans of the Red Scorpions chapter, Culln and his squad wore armour made primarily of ancient MkIV ‘Maximus’ battleplate as a mark of honour.
The Red Scorpions Vanguard Veteran Upgrade Set includes Veteran Sergeant Culln with optional helmeted and unhelmeted heads, and enough torsos, jump packs and shoulder pads to upgrade any resin or plastic Space Marines to make four Red Scorpions Vanguard Veterans.
This is a multi-part resin upgrade kit. It include one 32mm round base.
£19 for an upgrade set AND a new Special Character ain’t bad IMHO. Now if we can get rules for him, that would just be icing on the cake!
Proud to live, proud to die, hard to kill. Carab’s back!
