Games Workshop just gave us a preview of this week’s pre-orders, and it’s looking like another week of Space Marines, as well as new scenery kits.
This week’s pre-orders are giving us new options for Space Marine’s, scenery, and a new unit. Let’s take a look at what Games Workshop had to say.
The multi-part Primaris Inceptors kit is packed with options for these aerial strike specialists. As well as the rapid-firing assault bolters you’ll be familiar with from Dark Imperium, you’ll soon be able to equip your Inceptors with deadly armour-melting plasma exterminators – perfect for hunting down characters, monsters and vehicles wherever they may hide.
If you’re looking to add some character to your Primaris Space Marines, the Ultramarines Upgrade Kit is a great way to do it. You’ll be able to add Chapter insignia to your miniatures with ease thanks to the sculpted shoulder pads, while there are honours, purity seals, unique heads and more to distinguish your Sergeants and other favourite squadmates.
The Citadel Vines and Barbed Bracken are among our most innovative scenery kits yet. As you’d expect, they’re highly detailed and when painted make for convincing flora and fauna – however, unlike our other kits, you can bend, flex and twist them to create unusual and eye-catching effects. The vines, in particular, can be wrapped around ruins or even your models, representing a particularly ancient jungle temple or perhaps a Treelord strangling a rampaging Orruk with a tangle of sentient foliage.
We’ve been looking at some our kits lately, and we figured there weren’t quite enough skulls in them.
Thankfully, the Citadel Skulls box is on hand to rectify this. Skulls are, quite frankly, awesome, and most of our kits have one or two (or ten). We believe there is always room for more, however, and we’re releasing a box set with 340 – yes, 340! – different skulls for your miniatures. The days of raiding your friends’ bits boxes are over – this set contains skulls for a huge range of mortals, Daemons and monsters. You can put these on your bases, add them to your conversions or even start building a Skull Throne of your own.
All of these hot new items will be available for pre-order later this week. Make sure you check back in with us later for the complete list of new releases and prices. Make sure you also check out our latest review on this month’s White Dwarf in case you missed it, these items were previewed as well as others.
