About this deal

I noticed that the box has a paper inlay that shows a Contemptor Dreadnought that is different to this model, with an ornate head and chest armour, as well as a Kheres Assault Cannon, so it seems we might see an upgrade sprue or variant kit later on. In such cramped environs, where a foe cannot mass his firepower or line up his heaviest weapons, there are few foes that can withstand the brutal onslaught of a unit of Assault Terminators.

Most often these veteran warriors were found among the ranks of the Stor-Bezashk, the elite siege masters of the IV th Legion, and deployed to other Grand Battalions as needed to support siege and assault actions. Tyrant Siege Terminators were often at the forefront of the most cataclysmic battles of the Great Crusade.

On the left shoulder of every Terminator suit is displayed the Crux Terminatus badge - those worn by Terminator captains are said to contain a piece of the Terminator Armour the Emperor wore when he fought Horus during the final battle of the Horus Heresy. [2]

While the Phoenix Guard served Fulgrim through the Siege of Terra, it is unknown if the unit still exists and serves as the Daemon Prince's bodyguard on the unknown Daemon World he now calls home. Considered by many to be the greatest warrior living in Rivendell, Glorfindel can slice and dice his way across the battlefield thanks to his impressive Fight value. At the same time, his ostentatious Armour of Gondolin protects him from reprisals. Glorfindel comes mounted and on foot, giving you options for how to field this mighty Hero. Guards of the Galadhrim™ CourtTactical Dreadnought Armour combines the technological developments of power armour with the sealed environmental suits designed for starship crews that work in highly unstable or corrosive environments such as inside the high pressure casings of Plasma Reactor shields. It can even withstand the colossal impact of high speed orbital micro debris. But they were also too bulky, and their massive weight made running difficult despite built-in auto-balancers. The suits suffered from voracious power demands and few existing armaments could be carried as the armour's sheer bulk made handling and reloading impossible. But most importantly, the sheer amounts of raw materials and manpower required to craft Terminator Armour were so great that retrofitting the whole of the existing Space Marine Legions with it was simply not feasible for the already thinly stretched logistics of the nascent Imperium of Man. I’ll post a review of the weapon upgrade kits tomorrow where I’ll try to make the new weapon fit on older MkIV models, so stay tuned to see how that goes. Contemptor Dreadnought Great secrecy surrounded this elite cadre. Their numbers were chosen from amongst the ranks of the Death Guard Legion and each member was singled out and personally selected by their Primarch for the bravery and valour they had displayed in combat.

Due to the massive strength its fibre bundles and advanced servo-motors afford the wearer, weapons normally too heavy to be considered man-portable can be used without impeding performance. Heavy flamers and assault cannons can be wielded as easily as a normal man would a handle a lasgun or boltgun. Heavier weapons include the heavy flamer, the assault cannon, Grenade Harness, and the cyclone missile launcher. Normally one squad member will be designated as fire support and carry one of these weapons. [3]The standard suit of Mark II Crusader Power Armour provided excellent protection against small arms fire but not against heavier weapons, while the massive cybernetic Astartes combat walkers known as Dreadnoughts were unable to operate in certain environments, such as dense urban landscapes and heavily forested terrain, due to their sheer size and bulk. One of the signature tanks of the Legiones Astartes, the Sicaran Battle Tank is swift and deadly – and will be available in plastic for the first time. Along with its eye-catching autocannon array, it comes with four different sets of sponson weapons and a choice of nine pintle-mounted guns, giving you the right tool for any job. Spartan Assault Tank Bladeguard Veteran • Veteran • Veteran Intercessor • Veteran Assault Intercessor • Sternguard Veteran • Terminator ( Assault Terminator) The follow up to Urdesh: The Serpent and the Saint focuses on the war-torn city of Ghereppan. Even though Saint Sabbat has brought about a miracle, there is still a war to be won – can the Iron Snakes Space Marines claim victory, or will they fall into a deadly trap?
