GW drops fresh 40k reveals for new Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius, and Victrix Honour Guard models. Get the scoop on the contents and our release insights.
Games Workshop just dropped some big news for Warhammer 40k: new Ultramarines models are on the way, and they’re looking sharper than a fresh Talassarian Tempest Blade (get it?)
That’s right, Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius, and the Victrix Honour Guard are stepping back onto the battlefield with updated new model sculpts and plenty of Ultramar swagger (and fulfilling some more Space Marine rumors).
These aren’t just tweaks to old kits, they’re a full-on showcase of how far GW is pushing their plastic design game. Let’s break down what’s in the three new box sets, why it matters for your collection, and when you can expect to grab these models for yourself.
New 40k Space Marine Releases
Updated on October 20th, 2025, by Rob Baer with the latest news
The Ultramarines just scored a major glow-up with a new Combat Patrol, upgrade sprue, Battleforce, and the return of Calgar, Sicarius, and the Victrix Honor Guard.
These new Space Marine releases are hitting the shelves on November 8th, 2025.
A Marneus Calgar Model, Again?

GW is once again reminding us that the Lord of Macragge refuses to stay still for long.
We think this new Calgar channels the classic Terminator look, complete with the Armour of Antilochus and those iconic Gauntlets of Ultramar. He’s decked out with personal heraldry and markings that scream Ultramarines tradition.
The sculpt really feels like a nod to his pre-2018 style, updated for the current range.

New Cato Sicarius Model

The new model mirrors the statuesque vibe of his older version but with modern detailing. He’s posed with helm in hand and the Talassarian Tempest Blade raised high.
His Mk X Tacticus Armour is loaded with embellishments, and yes, he’s rocking a glorious back banner that screams Ultramar pride.

Drukhari players, take notes (if you’re feeling lucky); this could be a glimpse of what’s possible for other discontinued resin sculpts.
Victrix Honour Guard Return


If you love over-the-top banners, we think this kit will make your day.
The old Victrix Honour Guard is still listed online, but expect them to vanish soon as these new versions take their place. Their return in Primaris form suggests GW isn’t done revisiting classic Firstborn sculpts.
Final Thoughts From Us: New Marneus Calgar Model
The timing is what’s raising eyebrows. With Calgar already refreshed in 2018 and units pushed into Legends, the return of these characters feels unexpected. With this reveal, we feel like there will be a full-on Space Marine codex reboot in Fall or Winter 2025 to keep hobbyists engaged through the drop of 11th.
Or perhaps their arrival will be part of a new campaign or supplement series, similar to what we saw with Psychic Awakening and Boarding actions at the end of the last two editions?
From a hobby perspective, the Ultramarines have always been front and center in 40k marketing, and these releases reinforce that.
For Ultramarines players, this is pure gold: updated centerpiece models, character upgrades, and a return of an iconic bodyguard unit. For the rest of the community, the big takeaway is that Legends doesn’t necessarily mean gone forever.
If Sicarius and the Victrix can stage a comeback, maybe other factions will get similar treatment in future editions.
