The collector’s run of Space Marines are getting a third series! Get caught up on what Space Marine Heroes are as well as the latest word on the new set.
Space Marine Heroes are a “collectors” edition of Space Marine models. They are posed in different ways, but they all have a certain name, and all come from one Chapter. Space Marine Heroes uses a “blind buy” mechanic meaning that each model is individually sealed and you have no idea what is coming inside exactly.
The thing about Space Marine Heroes is that they were initially introduced into the Eastern market of the world (more specifically Japan). However, with their growing popularity everywhere else, the first series actually made it to the shelves in the U.S.
Series I Space Marine Heroes
Series II Space Marine Heroes (Japan)
Space Marine Heroes Series III Announced
Coming from Warhammer Yokohama’s Facebook:
They posted a picture on their page showing the third series of Space Marine Heroes’ banner. No other details past that have been covered. We have no idea if they’ll be in Terminator armor, what Chapter they’ll be, etc.
Space Marine Heroes Series 3
Coming soon!

However, we know we’ve already seen Ultramarines (blue) and Blood Angels (red). Our guess is that they’ll cover another popular Chapter similar to the Funko POP! models that were just announced. (i.e Space Wolves or Dark Angels).
The special thing that Space Marine Heroes has always had is that their minis are all a snap-fit design. You don’t actually need clippers or even glue to throw these guys together. The major bonus to that is it pulls more people into the hobby.
One of the major turn-offs to jumping into a hobby like 40k may be all of the tools you need to put one box of dudes together. However, if you sell a single model separately that can be put together by someone’s bare hands, they may ease into the hobby a bit faster.
Ultimately, the U.S will probably have to get Series II of Space Marine Heroes before they can get their hands on whatever models are coming inside series III. However, it’s still always exciting to see a new line of exclusive minis drop from Games Workshop.
What do you think the Chapter will be for the set? Will they be Primaris or normal Marines? Let us know in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
