Another eight releases this week for deathwatch
Corvus BlackStar $65
Kill Team Box Set??? $35
Now cant cant be sure what this “Kill Team” box set actually is yet, BUT what if it is the veterans that come in the death masque box set?
Compare that box to their Sternguard cousins in codex Space Marines:
Sternguard Veteran Squad $50
Sternguard Veterans are drawn from a Chapter’s prestigious 1st Company. Deploying wherever the battle is fiercest, they particularly excel in the use of ranged weaponry.
The 5 man Sternguard Veteran Squad comes with a massive amount of variety and options, providing every opportunity to create a unique squad, befitting their role as some of the Space Marines finest heroes.
This set includes 5 different pairs of legs; 5 individual torso fronts; 13 unique heads (7 helmeted and 6 bare); 16 individual shoulder pads; and 5 unique backpacks.
When it comes to picking the weapons your options are many and varied. There are 6 individual boltguns; 2 different storm bolters; the option to include a heavy flamer or a heavy bolter; a flamer; a meltagun; a plasma gun; a power fist; 8 combi-bolters (2 each of melta, flamer, plasma, or grav); a grav pistol; a plasma pistol; and finally, a trusty bolt pistol.
And that’s not all! There is an additional helmet plume that can be added to the squad Sergeant, as well as the choice of equipping him with either a chainsword or sheathed power sword. There are enough parts to equip the entire squad with frag and krak grenades, and there is a selection of ammo pouches; an auspex; a backpack icon; and even a combat knife (just in case back-up for the massive range of guns is required).
The Space Marine range is designed so that all of the plastic parts can be swapped between different kits. If you want your Sternguard Veteran Squad to include alternative heads then grab them from any other Space Marine plastic kit and they’ll fit. This allows the opportunity for truly unique collections of miniatures.
This plastic kit contains 120 components with which to make a 5 man Space Marine Sternguard Veteran Squad (and so much more!).This kit comes supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
Deathwatch Veterans Sprue:
If this box set is indeed the Deathwatch veterans from Death Masque, I can see them getting scooped up in droves by players not just for the models themselves, but for the Frag Cannon bit that will surely be on everyone’s watch list this summer!
