Teaser alert! The English version of the Space Marine Day flyer was spotted today, it’s got an interesting grammar clue to what may be available that day.
The NEW Event flyer:
Source: Bob Weiss
“Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of SPACE MARINES”
“Exclusive Miniature” Singular?
“Exciting Events”
“and much more”
Now that seems to indicate a singular miniature, and NOT a remake of the RTB-01 kit that we’ve been hearing from some sources recently.
So What IS the Exclusive Going to Be?
GW has not released what the 30th anniversary Space Marines product will be.
BoLS report the following over the weekend:
Multiple sources (5 to be exact) have chimed in online over the last 48 hours saying:
“GW will recreate a modern version of the classic RTB01 plastic space marine set that started it all off.”
We have no images to back this up and rate these rumors “I Want to Believe” (so be cautious with them).
Yep that’s right, the RTB01 Set is the very first Box Set of plastic Space Marines.
Would a new RTB-01 look like Calth, but in Mark VI armor?
Well that would be super awesome to see, and we know from the Calth Miniatures that Games Workshop HAS the technology to do it as well now.
Will this be what is for sale on April 16th or will it be a special new singular miniature like 5 years ago for the big TWO-FIVE?
