ETB Aggressors & Redemptor Review & Build

ETB Primaris 2 Post

Checkout how the Easy To Build Redemptor Dreadnought and Aggressor kits compare to the existing multi-part ones for Warhammer 40k.

Games Workshop has released two new easy to build Primaris Marine kits that will make perfect stocking stuffers this holiday season!

The Primaries Marines have some reinforcements for this holiday season in the form of the Easy to Build Aggressor Squad and the Redemptor Dreadnought. These Easy To Build kits are quite affordable at $40 for the Redemptor Dreadnought and $35 for the Aggressor Squad. These kits are designed for new hobbyists but should appeal to the veterans as well. Our very own Rob Baer put both kits on his paint bench for a quick and dirty review.

For our complete review, be sure to scroll down and press play on the full video below.

Aggressor ETB

First on the bench are the ETB Aggressors and, at first glance, looks like a solid kit. However, these Aggressors only come with the flamestorm gauntlets. Their boltstorm gauntlets and grenade launchers are not included. This could help explain the $15 price difference between the ETB and multi-part kits. Aside from that difference, there is no other discernible difference between an ETB Aggressor and multi-part kit Aggressor in terms of scale and detail.

ETB Redemptor

Then we have the ETB Redemptor Dreadnought. It, too, has a no weapon options. It comes with the fragstorm grenade launcher, heavy flamer, heavy onslaught gatling cannon, and Redemptor fist. The 2 storm bolters. plasma incinerators, and Icarus rocket pod are not included. The chest armor does not pivot open but can slide out. The upper torso does have a limited range of motion and the arms are posable as well.

Rob goes further in-depth with these kits and assembles them in his review video below!

Easy To Build Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought: $40

Redemptor Dreadnoughts are giant war machines that crush bone and splinter skulls as they bludgeon through enemy ranks. Taller, broader and more cunningly wrought than the Dreadnoughts of traditional design, these goliaths of battle are powered by hyper-dense reactors and sophisticated fibre bundles. They can accelerate from a thudding stomp to a loping, thunderous gait that shakes the ground, barrelling through hails of fire in glorious defiance. Such is the miraculous design of the Redemptor’s neural links that its inhabitant, despite being entombed in the sarcophagus within the Dreadnought’s chest, can exercise control with surprising dexterity and speed.

Designed to be as easy as possible to assemble for new hobbyists while being detailed enough for the hardiest veteran to appreciate, this kit is an Easy To Build Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought – a complete Redemptor Dreadnought in only 12 components! Push-fit, with no glue required, this is incredibly straightforward to put together and comes on a pre-coloured blue plastic sprue.

Standing twice the height of the already-tall Primaris Space Marines – and taller and broader than the standard Dreadnought – this is an exceptionally aggressive-looking model that befits its status as a powerhouse on the gaming table. It comes armed with a Redemptor fist and heavy flamer on the left arm, and a heavy onslaught gatling cannon on the right arm – the chest, where the sarcophagus of the interred Space Marine lies, boasts a fragstorm grenade launcher.

This plastic kit comes as 12 components, and is supplied with a 90mm Round base, featuring holes to slot the models’ pegs into. Rules for this miniature are included in the box, along with a Space Marines Vehicle transfer sheet.

Easy To Build Primaris Aggressors: $35

Clad in heavy Gravis armour, Aggressor Squads advance on the foe as walking fortresses of ceramite. More mobile than some other Space Marines, they’re better able to negotiate rough ground, making them versatile troops; while they are often employed in specific circumstances or on certain terrain, Aggressor Squads are used as reserves to plug breaches in gun lines or to spearhead an advance. The range of their weaponry is not too long, but when they get close enough to open fire, the result is a burst of scorching flame that can shatter enemy charges.

Designed to be as easy as possible to assemble for new hobbyists while being detailed enough for the hardiest veteran to appreciate, this is a set of 3 Easy To Build Space Marines Primaris Aggressors. Push-fit, with no glue required, these are incredibly straightforward to put together, and come on pre-coloured blue plastic sprues.

Extremely heavily armoured, their silhouette is wider and chunkier than most Primaris Space Marines, with the flamestorm gauntlets they carry adding to the sense of absolute aggression. Each miniature features details such as the promethium tanks for the flamestorm gauntlets attached to their backs, with fuel lines and pipes, and each features a reliquary. One of the models is a Sergeant, bedecked with extra detail – more purity seals and skulls feature on him.

This plastic kit comes as 35 components, and is supplied with 3 40mm Round bases. Rules for these miniatures are included in the box, along with a Primaris Space Marines Infantry Transfer Sheet.

These Primaris Marine Easy To Build kits releases are available now online and in local Games Workshop stores. Be sure to press play on our quick and dirty review video below for the full product breakdown.
