The savior of Calth, Remus Ventanus, is getting a shiny new mini and GW even revealed some rules for him as well- check it out!
As a senior advisor to Roboute Guilliman and the man credited with holding off the Word Bearers, this Marine has seen it all! He’s grabbing a brand new miniature following the most recent Ultramarine Praetors.
Warhammer Community just unveiled the newest addition to the line and even showed off a couple of rules for him as well. They didn’t give a release date yet, but they usually are about a month out when they put them in the Legionary Dispatch.
Remus Ventanus Mini
Remus Ventanus is one of the rarest of Space Marine heroes – a legend from the 31st Millennium whose name is still known 10,000 years later. Lauded as the Saviour of Calth, Ventanus led a desperate defence of what was once one of the grandest and most civilized planets in the Imperium against the Word Bearers during the Horus Heresy. Now he’s back with a killer new miniature from Forge World.
Overall the mini is pretty cool, the banner looks good, and he really fits the HH aesthetic. Sometimes it’s nice to see a little bit simpler of a mini that still looks good. This is from Forge World, but we are still holding out hope for a big, possibly plastic, starter set sometime around Black Friday.
That’s a noble bearing right there. Ventanus sports a bolt pistol and power sword, and he carries a legion standard – which serves as a symbol of the bravery of those who fought and died on Calth.
The head without the helmet leaves a little to be desired, but who knows, maybe he will grab the Ventris treatment, we’re not counting on it though.
Rules:
As befits the man who masterminded the defence of a whole world, Ventanus has the Resolute Planning Trait if he’s your Warlord, allowing Ultramarines units to hunker down on an objective and really keep their grip on it.
This is pretty nice and will keep your Ultramarines on objectives!
He’s also such a Cunning Strategist that he can reroll his own Reserves rolls – and hamper his enemies’ rolls at the same time.
This is a very strong mechanic because it can really delay your opponent’s plans and either keep your minis off the board or get them onto it faster. If you fail the second roll, that’s not Remus’ fault, that’s your own fault.
