New Easy To Build Push Fit Terminator Sprues: (May 12, 2023)
The new sprue pics come from Warhammer Community.
Your five new Space Marine Terminators come packed onto the sprue. They’re largely push-fit, but dabs of glue are recommended on key joins. In all, there are about eight or nine parts to each miniature – plus a teleport homer – and they’re incredibly cleverly put together.
Well, first up, being ETB really isn’t a bad thing; while some people don’t like it, it does make getting your new army on the table much faster and, for newer players, much easier overall.
For one thing, most pieces have three or fewer connection points with the sprue, and the majority of these are hidden with great cunning by other parts of the model. So while the joins on the pauldrons need to be cleaned up, and those on the undersides of the storm bolter magazines, most other burrs don’t need much effort at all – and the same goes for many of the mould lines.
On top of that, the parts fit together beautifully. All five Terminators are single-pose, though the Sergeant has a choice of wearing a helmet or going bare-headed. They stand in a range of intimidating poses, and the increase in detail compared with the previous Terminator models is substantial.
This squad was produced in a very interesting way, with possibly the least amount of connections to the actual sprue itself that we’ve seen from GW.
This means less trimming and cutting overall, and with the ETB nature of the kits, these should be a breeze to build.
They also generally do a great job hiding mold lines and gaps, which seem no different here. Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be any options in the kit other than a little bit for the Sergeant
Shoulder pads are moulded to arms, and the arms themselves are separate from the torso, giving you a bit of flexibility for possible kit-bashes, if that’s how you roll. Right shoulder pads are blank, so you can assign these elite warriors to a Chapter of your choosing.
It is nice that the arms are separate from the torso, which lets you give them different weapons much easier! Considering the kit doesn’t really have any options, it’s nice GW built them this way. Now you can still equip them how you want; you’ll just need to do a little more work.
35 Years of Space Marines Terminators & Squad Reveal: (March 29th, 2023)
Games Workshop went back and looked at 35 years of Terminators and revealed more about the new 10th Edition models in a recent post!
Terminator armour first appeared in 1988 with a unique high-shouldered armour design. However, 1989 was truly the year of the Terminator with several iconic new designs added to the armoury. Issue 112 of White Dwarf laid out the background for this formidable wargear and established the style of Terminator armour we know and love today. The first edition of Space Hulk was released a mere month later, cementing that age-old rivalry with Genestealers.
Terminators aka Tactical Dreadnought Armor, have come a long way, but the models have always been really cool and just so iconic!
It is this pattern that forms the basis for the new Terminators, now substantially filled out to match the scale, and the increased detail, of modern Space Marines.
Together as a group of five, they look pretty awesome, and now teleporting them in will be even more cinematic!
Obviously, you can paint them up however you want, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting chapter-specific bits for a little while.
Be sure to check out the video below for more details on the new Terminators!
10th Edition Warhammer 40k Trailer Reveals New Space Marines & Tyranids Miniatures! (March 23rd, 2023)
First off, if you haven’t watched the video above, you should! It’s intense! We’ve also included some of our favorite stills below, but there are tons of potential teases for new models packed into the trailer, so see what you can notice!
What we saw included potential new models for a Terminator Librarian, a new Redemptor Dreadnought, a new Infiltrator-like troop, a new Tyranid Psyker, and potentially a rework of the classic Screamer Killer Carnifex with bioplasma attack.
Plus, what looked to be even more new Tyranids as well! We are sure there might even be more new models hidden in plain sight after the community takes its time to dive into the frames!
Plus, we got a look at two new confirmed models right off the bat!
GW Previews New 10th Edition Terminators & Termagants Miniatures
Leading the assault are the much-improved new Space Marine Terminators. These juggernauts of death have been rescaled and resculpted to look as imposing as the lore demands. If Tyranids could feel fear… they would fear these guys.
As one of the most iconic, popular, and well-loved models, new Terminators will go a long way! This will significantly impact the look and feel of Warhammer 40k on tabletop since tons of people will be using them!
Here we can see the scale of the updated Terminator next to a Primaris marine and the older terminator. A bulkier, more intimidating model is a perfect fit for these durable threats.
Lots more previews and teasers are on the way as we head into summer and the official launch of the new edition! Check out the latest Warhammer 40k rumors for the rest of the 9th and even 10th Edition, new releases, and more!
