Looks like the Blood Angels are coming to the previously exclusive Space Marine Heroes Series 2 as their big reveal was just spotted on social media this morning.
Warhammer Harajuku teased the new release of Space Marines Heroes Series 2 on their Twitter page this morning, and it looks like The Sons of Sanguinius are dropping in for the second installment of the Japanese exclusive.
New Blood Angels
According to this, there will be six heroes of the Imperium including one with a standard bearer, storm bolter, and a cyclone missile launcher. The models come colored red and in an easy to build (ETB) fashion similar to the Dark Imperium box set and the Shadespire Warbands so new collectors won’t have as many problems getting into the hobby.
To add even more hype, this release will also include a hobby set which features paint instructions, and a 12-paint set, and a paintbrush.
Rumors are floating around that a “mysterious box” including a random figure will be making an appearance as well.

What do you think the other four miniatures in the series will come equipped with, and what could this “mystery box” figure be?
Here was the latest we heard from Games Workshop back in February:
GW was pleased to announce Series 2 of the Space Marine Heroes line that is exclusive to Japan. Let’s see what they had to say about it.
Great news, Space Marine Heroes fans – following the success of the first wave, a brand new set of Adeptus Astartes champions is on its way for you to track down and collect – here’s a teaser for one of them:
Exciting stuff!
We know loads of fans based outside of Japan have been keen to get their hands on the Space Marine Heroes, and we’re currently looking into the feasibility of this.
The success of the first wave of Space Marines Heroes has given GW all the more reason to keep it going, the only downside is they’re Japan exclusives and not that easy for people in the rest of the world to get their hands on them. Well, that might be changing soon, as Games Workshop said they are currently looking into the feasibility of making these minis available elsewhere via their Facebook.
What do you think about the Space Marine Heroes Series 2 announcement? Were you able to get your hands on any of the first set?
