The devastators are here, and they are gunning for the top of the 40k dogpile. Come see the new kit that can make it happen!
Released this weekend were the new Devastator models, you have to see this new kit! There is a ton useful new parts in here including the new Grav Cannon for regular space marines!
The new Devastator box set contains all the parts you need to make your choice of heavy weapon marines, and a sergeant with all the upgrades!
It contains a whopping THREE new sprues, with part of them actually mirrored by design.

Speaking of heavy weapons, the Devastator squad features an *incredible* array of the Imperium’s finest. Included in this squad:
Two Space Marine Grav-Cannon and Back Pack Assemblies;
Two Space Marine Missile Launcher and Back Pack Assemblies;
Two Space Marine Multi Melta and Back Pack Assemblies;
Two Space Marine Lascannon and Back Pack Assemblies;
Two Space Marine Plasma Cannon and Assemblies;
Two Space Marine Heavy Bolter and Back Pack Assemblies;
One each of Combi Plasma, Combi Melta, Combi Grav, Combi Flamer, Bolter and Storm Bolter;
One each of Power Fist, Power Sword, Power Axe, Lightning Claw, Chainsword and Thunder Hammer;
One each of Plasma pistol, Bolt pistol, Grav pistol.
Five Purity Seals, two Servo Skulls, a pile of spent shells, a skull base piece, ten Space Marine targeting helmets, six sets of legs, six Sergeant hands and eight Space Marine shoulder pads round out this immense collection of components.
Pros:
- Two sets of each heavy weapons is great for the bits box.
- Sergeant model comes with tons of bits options as well.
- New ‘smoke trail’ bits for the rocket launcher are dope
- With a little scratch building of arms you can mount most of the weapons onto torsos.
Cons:
- only certain arms work with certain weapon bits. be careful when assembling!
Each kit comes with abbreviated rules in the instructions as well! But be aware folks only certain arms work for certain weapons, so be sure to read the manual to get it right the first time!
The new five model box set retails for $46 US and once again it doesn’t seem like a bad deal honestly when you factor in the amount of options included!
If you’re looking to get the most BANG for your devastator buck, be sure to read the new formation that gives them relentless... it’s a hoot!
