Are these the Space Marines you’ve been looking for? Join us as we break down the new 40k Adeptus Astartes releases in our latest Unboxing!
Today we are taking a look at part of the contents that come in the current Burning of Prospero box. They have been re-boxed to be sold separately. Check them out!
Both of these boxes are a good value with the Terminators coming in at $60 and the Mark III Space Marines coming in at $50. A normal Space Marine Tactical squad is only $40 but the Mark III box comes with some other options that the normal Tactical Squad box does not come with such as two part legs for more customization, Powerfist/Lightening Claw, Thunder Hammer, and of course that awesome Mark III armour look.
The Tartaros Terminators come with some weapons options, such as the Volkite Charger and Grenade Harness, that don’t have rules to be used in 40k yet. But there’s a good chance that will change in the future.
The leg sets on the Terminators are two part again for better posing and the Powerfists have the Optional Lightning Claws that can be added on.
Plus they got new rules for 40k as well:
To see the full unboxing of these new Adeptus Astartes kits, check out the video below.
Tartaros Terminators: $60
Tactical Dreadnought Armour, or Terminator Armour as it is more usually known, is the most resilient form of personal protection available to the Adeptus Astartes. Originally developed during the closing years of the Great Crusade, and adapted from the heaviest of industrial gear, several types and patterns were developed concurrently. Perhaps the most advanced form is the Tartaros pattern, allowing for greater mobility than other examples of Terminator armour with no loss in durability or protection.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble 5 Tartaros Terminators, ready to be added to any Space Marines or Chaos Space Marines collection. They’re supplied with a variety of weapon options:
– 5 Tigris pattern combi-bolters,
– 5 pairs of power fists,
– 5 pairs of lightning claws,
– 5 left-hand chainfist attachments,
– 1 reaper autocannon,
– 1 plasma blaster,
– 1 heavy flamer,
– 1 grenade harness;as well as options for a Sergeant – this model features a unique torso, loin cloth and shoulder pads, as well as a power sword and volkite charger. This kit can be used as a standard Terminator Squad in games of Warhammer 40,000, and is supplied with 5 Citadel 40mm Round bases.
Mark III Space Marines: $50
Clad in ancient suits of power armour, impressively powerful and daunting to behold, Mark III Space Marines are a living reminder of the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Their ‘Iron’ armour is a variation on the previous generation’s ‘Crusade’ pattern, with extra armour and reinforcements allowing them to absorb an unprecedented amount of enemy firepower. When encased in this armour, a Space Marine becomes an unstoppable juggernaut.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the parts necessary to assemble 10 Space Marines in Mark III ‘Iron’ power armour, ready to add to any Space Marine or Chaos Space Marine collection. They come with a host of armament options:
– 10 Phobos-pattern bolters,

– 1 power fist,
– 1 Phobos-pattern bolt pistol,
