New details are emerging today on what’s in store for hobbyist during GW’s “Free Space Marine Day”. Come see the latest!

If you haven’t heard yet April 16th looks to be “Free Space Marine Day” at GW Stores:

First Came the 11th hour reveal of a flyer for the event:

Stores will have an event like the celebrate the day for grand openings and birthdays etc, etc.  Marine day will offer a special figure for sale that will only be available while supplies last, same with the other event give outs.

 

Honestly I really don’t see how you can have a “SPACE MARINE DAY” and not give out Space Marine swag, right? But that’s cool there will be an exclusive and freebies too.

If you wondering about adding salt, well take a look at one of the many things Captain Citadel HAS been spot on about:

Via Captain Citadel 1-19-2015

The Plastic Bloodthirster is real.

Kit makes three models a normal bloodthirster with whip and Axe of Khorne, one wielding a monstrous two-handed axe, third has a doubleheaded axe and super long chain flail. The wings are really big – the model is almost as big as Nagash, and is extra tall. It is sculpted on top of a flickering flame. There are three different heads with different types of horns and helmets. Large armoured hooves, thigh straps, regular upper body strapps and gladiator kindof armour. Super muscular, like a super ripped world’s strongest man mixed with a Khorne daemon.

A mate of mine passed along that GW has blacked out the following dates for their store employees: Feb 28, Apr 16, and May 7th. I assume that means big releases on those dates.

 

February 28 was Deathwatch, and now we know that Space Marine Day is April 16th. May 7th is still “up in the air” currently.

-So what’s coming May 7th????
