The Story
The shadow of a huge fleet of Crimson Slaughter and Black Legion forces falls across the Diamor System, as Abaddon the Despoiler’s 13th Black Crusade is launched. This shadow is met by the righteous fury of the Blood Angels; leading a mighty coalition of Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperial Knights, the Sons of Sanguinius fight bitterly against the servants of Chaos.
Yet the fires of war that consume the worlds of the Diamor System are revealing dark secrets, harbingers of a terrible doom that even the Blood Angels will be hard-pressed to prevent coming to fruition…

Each is a true hero in his own right, his deeds recorded by the Chapter for history to recall.

Blood Angels Assault Squad $45

Theirs is the mastery of flanking attacks, low-orbit drops and line-breaker charges; their aggressive fighting style suiting the violence of hand-to-hand combat. Roaring into battle with jump packs, the chainswords and thunder hammers of a Blood Angels Assault Squad is for many enemies of the Imperium the last thing they ever see.
This box set contains everything you need to make 5 multi-part plastic Blood Angels Assault Marines, with amazing scope for customisation.The entire squad can be modelled with or without jump packs, as 5 complete assemblies are included with and without harnesses and backpacks. There are 5 pairs of running leg assemblies, 6 shoulder pads and an array of Purity Seals, scroll cases and ammo pouches.
Blood Angels Vanguard Veteran Squad $45
More comfortable with the Red Thirst than afraid of it, Vanguard Veteran Squads of the Blood Angels are supremely skilled warriors. Roaring into battle with whichever weapon suits their temper, they fight at close quarters with an agility and ability that makes xenos warbeasts and traitor xenos appear cumbersome by comparison. Soaring into the skies on jump packs, destroying the enemy with precision and skill; Vanguard Veteran Squads aim to complete their mission whatever the odds.
The 5 man Space Marine Vanguard Veteran Squad contains a huge variety of weapon options with which to arm the unit. When building the squad there are 5 different sets of running legs; 5 unique torso fronts; 16 different shoulder pads; 9 heads (8 helmeted, 1 bare); and 5 individual jump packs.
Blood Angels Command Squad $45

Blood Angels Death Company Strike Force $135

Guided to their fate by the spiritual beacon of a Death Company Chaplain, backed up by the effective assaults of their Dreadnought brethren, they rip and tear through enemy battle-lines with no regard at all for their own survival. Few enemies will survive this battering ram of absolute berserk aggression.
