Going back and looking at the pics from last week, things are starting to line up.
The back of the box is painted up to match the 2-sides described in that list above. We now can start to figure out what to call some of those card decks and tokens lying around on those thick card hexboards. I see a stat above called Bulk, and noticed that some units seem to able to stack multiple models in a hex, while other can’t. That may be related.
We get an exact lineup with this previous contents list from last week – but with much finer detail.
And this would apparently be one of the three Ultramarines units reference cards.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
