Wave two of Space Marine Heroes will be hitting the shelves in the US and worldwide shortly. Check out the Terminators that are coming soon!
Space Marine Heroes are a “collectors” edition of Space Marine models. They’ve all got names and actually come in individual boxes as a “blind buy” mechanic. You don’t know what you’re going to get and some models are rarer than others.
The thing about Space Marine Heroes is that they were initially introduced into the Eastern market of the world (more specifically Japan). However, with their growing popularity everywhere else, the first series actually made it to the shelves in the U.S. However, Warhammer Community has just announced that series two of Space Marine Heroes are going to be hitting the shelves as well.
Series I Space Marine Heroes
Space marine Series II Announced Across Globe
Series II Space Marine Heroes
Series two of Space Marine Heroes featured Blood Angels Terminators and were exclusively sold in Japan for a long time. (Just like Series one of Space Marine Heroes which eventually branched out to be sold everywhere). Well, these Terminators are also going to be hitting the shelves in stores outside of Japan as well! Add on to your collection of series one models and grab all the Sons of Sanguinius!
Space Marine Heroes Series III Announced
Coming from Warhammer Yokohama’s Facebook:
They posted a picture on their page showing the third series of Space Marine Heroes’ banner. No other details past that have been covered. We have no idea if they’ll be in Terminator armor, what Chapter they’ll be, etc.
Space Marine Heroes Series 3
Coming soon!
Like this page for all further updates!
However, we know we’ve already seen Ultramarines (blue) and Blood Angels (red). Our guess is that they’ll cover another popular Chapter similar to the Funko POP! models that were just announced. (i.e Space Wolves or Dark Angels).
The special thing that Space Marine Heroes has always had is that their minis are all a snap-fit design. You don’t actually need clippers or even glue to throw these guys together. The major bonus to that is it pulls more people into the hobby.
One of the major turn-offs to jumping into a hobby like 40k may be all of the tools you need to put one box of dudes together. However, if you sell a single model separately that can be put together by someone’s bare hands, they may ease into the hobby a bit faster.
Ultimately, the U.S will probably have to get Series II of Space Marine Heroes before they can get their hands on whatever models are coming inside series III. However, it’s still always exciting to see a new line of exclusive minis drop from Games Workshop.
Which Blood Angel model is your favorite in series two? Which Chapter do you think will be in series three? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
