Heresy Thursday – Made to Order Upgrades for the Ultramarines and Thousand Sons

Heresy Thursday

Roboute Guilliman is a Primarch versed not just in the intricacies of war, but in the fine details of day-to-day life. You’d never ask Angron to sort out a municipal problem, or expect the Khan to retrain bikers into administrators.

Ensuring that your squads of Ultramarines are equipped with the (appropriate and properly regulated) finery of Ultramar is a matter of utmost importance – you must practise what you preach, which will be made even easier with these upcoming Made to Order kits.

Ultramarines MKIII Shoulder Pads

MKIII power armour is good honest ceramite, perfectly suited to dense combat environments – MKVI squads shouldn’t get all the love just because they’re the new kids on the block. Not only are the sculpted ‘Ultima’ symbols easy to paint, the tastefully thick trim means more of those gold embellishments the XIII Legion loves so much.

Ultramarines MKIV Torsos

MKIV ‘Maximus Armour’ offers a balance of agility and durability, and finds itself right at home in the Legions of Ultramar, which are renowned for their strategic flexibility. Customised by the artificers of the 500 Worlds, these MKIV torsos feature additional armour plating over their power cables – which leaves plenty of room for fancy sculpted Legion motifs.

All Ultramarines respect the strict hierarchies dictated by Guilliman’s political philosophy. Somewhere near the top of this structure sit the Invictarii, an elite cadre of proven warriors and administrators, handpicked by the Primarch for future command positions. Their wargear marks them out as the best of the best, with the symbols of Macragge and the Imperium taking centre stage.

Thousand Sons MKIII Shoulder Pads

Well now, what’s this? Even the galaxy's greatest logistical minds can make a mistake now and then. These Thousand Sons shoulder pads have somehow found their way to Ultramar – but they’re being repackaged and sent on to Prospero, where they’ll make a squad of Magnus’ sons very happy. They’re perfect for anyone looking for a thicker trim on their sorcerous shoulder pads.

All of these accessories are cast in resin, and will be available on a Made to Order basis. Check back next week for your regular Heresy Thursday update, which tips the scales further in favour of the Loyalists.

Liber Imperium Released in North America

Liber Imperium

Speaking of Loyalists, the forces of the Emperor are now dispatching to the North American territories, in a bid to oust any dug-in Traitors attempting to stand up to the combined might of the Imperium.

After being delayed in the Warp, Liber Imperium is available for pre-order now in the US and Canada, and will be released this Saturday.

Liber Imperium is a 176-page book available in hardback and eBook formats, and containing rules for four Loyalist factions – the Legio Custodes, Sisters of Silence, Divisio Assassinorum, and Solar Auxilia. The latter are also able to moonlight as Traitors, if you wish – the Warmaster offers a great dental plan.
