If there’s one thing we wish we could do more of here at Warhammer Community, it’s write about Space Marines, and lo and behold our chance to shine is here. Remember – all these new releases are available to pre-order for two weeks.
Codex: Space Marines
The Angels of Death enter the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 in Codex: Space Marines, the essential companion for all aspiring Chapter Masters. This huge 216-page book contains full datasheets for 93 Space Marine units, seven different detachments with unique abilities, Stratagems, and Enhancements, and fresh new Crusade rules to charge your troops with an Oathsworn Campaign – earning accolades, honour, and promotions as they defend the Imperium.
It’s also packed with background lore and miniatures showcases to keep you bang up to date with the latest goings-on of the Adeptus Astartes, including profiles and iconography for a number of notable Chapters. All of the Imperium’s Space Marines* can use the contents of this book – including divergent Chapters like the Space Wolves and Blood Angels – so nobody’s left out of the fantastic upgrades throughout.
Codex: Space Marines – Collector’s Edition
Are you a Space Marine mega-fan? Do you appreciate a luxury touch to your codex, fit for a 1st Company veteran? Then look no further than this exquisite, limited-number Collector’s Edition, bound in a soft-touch cover with alternate artwork and gold foil details. It includes everything you get in the regular codex, with the addition of a black ribbon page marker, gilt foil page edges, and the prestige of a dedicated collector.
Company Heroes
Lead your army to victory with the Company Heroes, pairing a brand new multi-option Captain with his four best buddies. Two Veterans, a Company Champion, and an extremely fancy Ancient provide a solid punch at range and up close, while their leader can pick from a range of weapons to fit your chosen foes.
Captain with Jump Pack
Captains are all incredibly skilled close combat fighters, but some take their martial superiority to a whole new level by strapping on a jump pack and blasting into their enemies at high speed. This versatile hero is perfect for leading the new Jump Pack Intercessors, and boosts the might of his bodyguards when charging into mobs of unfortunate victims.
Chaplain in Terminator Armour
Deliver your front line sermons in safety with the Chaplain in Terminator Armour, planting the unbending zeal of the Space Marines into an impenetrable defensive shell. The Chaplain can swap his storm bolter for a relic shield, in case you need even more durability on hand, and has a choice of two heads and two different icons for his crozius arcanum.
Jump Pack Intercessors
Soar through the sky and bring hot chainsword justice to the enemies of mankind with the new Jump Pack Intercessors, a long-awaited assault unit brought to life with phenomenally dynamic poses. This set of five multipart plastic miniatures are excellent close combat troops with a particular knack for carving up light infantry, and the squad Sergeant comes with a wide assortment of weapon options to pick from.
Terminator Squad
Wield the might of the 1st Company as the new multi-option Terminators stomp onto the battlefield, packing your choice of assault cannon, heavy flamer, or cyclone missile launcher. Each of the five Terminators comes equipped with a storm bolter and a power fist or chainfist as standard, with plenty of cosmetic options – even the squad’s teleport homer is included as its own little model.
Sternguard Veteran Squad
Sternguard Veterans are among the best marksmen in the galaxy, turning decades of active service into a well-drilled set of skills that make them some of the most flexible and reliable members of the 1st Company. This multi-option set of five plastic miniatures includes loads of weapon options and detail parts, including a choice of combi-weapon or Sternguard bolt rifle for each veteran, a heavy bolter, and the brand new pyrecannon.**
Lieutenant
The super-customisable Lieutenant previously seen in the Strike Force Agastus box set gets his own standalone release for the first time. This highly flexible kit is packed with loads of weapon options so you can build nearly every configuration of Lieutenant imaginable, ready to join your Captains on the front lines.
Brutalis Dreadnought
Dreadnoughts are cool, and those that rip their way through enemies big and small with a pair of slashy, smashy fists are the apex of Dreadnought-kind. The Brutalis is an undisputed king of close combat prowess, equipped with your choice of claws or fists and packing a surprisingly powerful ranged punch thanks to paired multi-meltas or heavy bolters, plus an ironhail heavy stubber.
Desolation Squad
The Desolation Squad takes conventional missile launchers and turns them up to 11, combining the raw power of superfrag or superkrak missiles with indirect-fire infantry suppression courtesy of the castellan launcher.
Combat Patrol: Space Marines
Take a compact, elite detachment into intense small-scale battles with Combat Patrol: Space Marines. Strike Force Octavius is a hard-hitting and durable force led by a Captain and Librarian in Terminator armour, accompanied by five Infernus Marines and five Terminators – all highly detailed push-fit miniatures, first seen in the epic Leviathan box set.
Datasheet Cards: Space Marines
There are a lot of Space Marine datasheets to keep track of in the new Codex, and you can cut down on your rule-checking time dramatically with this pack of 99 durable reference cards. Featuring all of the unit rules found within Codex: Space Marines for both regular and Combat Patrol games – plus an army rule card and armoury summary – this is an excellent companion for all Space Marines players.
Space Marines Dice Set
Match your new codex and miniatures with this fetching set of metallic blue, swirl-effect Space Marines dice. Each pack contains 16 plastic dice with silver pips and the Space Marines faction logo on the six.
Warhammer 40,000: Chapter Approved – Leviathan Mission Deck
Generate competitive missions quickly and easily with the Leviathan Mission Deck, a pack of 66 cards designed to work alongside the Warhammer 40,000 Core Rules for Matched Play games. Featuring cards for deployment, primary and secondary missions, and gambits, no two games will be the same.
