Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron
The Heavy armour for the Legiones Astartes is here, with the Kratos Heavy Tank.
The Kratos is a new type of vehicle for the Horus Heresy, that was introduced in full scale as a plastic kit in 2022 for the release of the 2nd edition. It is bigger than the Sicaran, whose resin kit was replaced by a plastic kit as well last year. And now you can have both them, again in plastic, for Legions Imperialis.
While the Sicaran is currently exclusive to the core set, you can get the Kratos Heavy Tank Squadron of four, as part of the first wave for the game at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP.
Legions Imperialis – Solar Auxilia Baneblade Squadron
We gave you the overview on the content of the core set, so let's continue with the additional content of the first wave and the first super heavy options for the Solar Auxilia - the Baneblade Squadron!
This kit comes with two sprues at a RRP of 40 EURs / 30 GBP, each sprue covers enough parts to build either a Baneblade or a Hellhammer.
Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes Rhino Transport Detachment
One of the first plastic vehicles for Rogue Trader back in the late 80s and now among the first wave models for the Legiones Astartes - the Rhino Transport Detachment.
As usual, as double sprue pack with identical sprues, covering a total of 10 (!) armoured personal carriers, at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP.
Legions Imperialis – Legiones Astartes
After the unboxing of the core set we go into detail on the two factions of the first wave of Legions Imperialis. The Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia are part of the core set, and their infantry boxes are available right from the start with the initial wave, along with some heavier equipment for the motor pool.
This article covers the Legiones Astartes Infantry (incl. Contemptor Dreadnought) boxed set, and Predator and Sicaran tanks from the core set.
Each of these boxes come with two identical sprues and an instruction leaflet, at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP. We begin with the infantry of the Legiones Astartes, which is included with two sprues in the core set as well.
Legions Imperialis – The Solar Auxilia
The second force within the new Legions Imperialis core set is the Solar Auxilia. Similar to the Legiones Astartes, we have the Infantry set available as part of the first wave. The Baneblade / Hellhammer will be covered in an article of its own.
So today, we will look into the Solar Auxilia Infantry (incl. Charonite Ogryns and Aethon Heavy Sentinels), as well the Leman Russ and Malcador which are currently exclusive to the core set.
Each of boxes cover two identical sprues at a RRP of 40 EUR / 30 GBP. Decals are only included with the vehicle kits. Let's start with the Infantry.
Warhammer The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis – Unboxing
It is finally here! We have a large release for Legions Imperialis, battles within the Horus Heresy in an epic scale! And we start with an unboxing of the starter set, covering Legiones Astartes, Solar Auxilia and even two Warhounds.
This will be the initial unboxing, followed by detailed, indepth reviews, as you have seen it in the past for example with the Age of Darkness or Leviathan boxed set. And it is great that we return once again to when I was there the day Horus slew the Emperor.
Horus Heresy – Legiones Astartes MKIII Tactical Squad
Part of the Legiones Astartes Battle Group are the Space Marines in the new Mark III Power Armour. Available as a tactical squad as well, and compatible with the various weapon options already released. We will cover the Special Weapons Upgrades in this review along with the new models.
The Space Marines in Mk III are currently available as a Tactical Squad of 20 with a retail of 60 EUR or as part of the Battle Group, for 160 EUR with 30 Marines, a Dreadnought and Land Raider. These are no repacks of the Burning of Prospero release from 2016, but entirely new miniatures.
Warcry – Hunter and Hunted
This weekend WarCry receives a larger update, covering a terrain set Ravaged Lands: Scales of Talaxis, two warbands and a new supplement Hunter and Hunted. And this supplement will be covered today.
With Hunter and Hunted we move within the Gnarlwoods into a part, where we find new Seraphon relics, and two new warbands, Gorger Mawpack and Wildercorps Hunters, fight each other. Please note, this is not a stand-alone, you need either one of the starter boxes (or at least the rulebook) to be able to make use of this boxed set.
This boxed set has a RRP of 105 EURs, covers a thin campaign booklet, instructions, a card deck, a large sprue for the terrain and two sets of a pair of medium sprues for each of the warbands.
Warhammer Underworlds – 2023 Starter Set
We are currently in the 8th season of Warhammer Underworlds and Games Workshop released an upgrade on the generic starter set, which is not only available through the usual sales channels but book stores and so on.
On this blog, we covered the majority of the first three season of Warhammer Underworld (Shadespire, Nightvault and Beastgrave) and you will find in-depth coverage on the starter kits and supplements / warbands. But first of all, let's bring you up to speed.
What is Warhammer Underworlds?
Back in 2017 Games Workshop released the Underworlds series as a tactical miniature board game. A product with a lower entry barrier, much smaller in size and number of miniatures as the regular wargames and even their board games, for example Warhammer Quest: Silvertower. Underworlds is played in an ancient and damned city, between the realms of Light and Shadow, in the new post-Old World Warhammer Setting (with the narrative progressing into further areas of the realms), as an "arena game" using two hex field boards with matches taking around 30-45 minutes. Everything you need for your games is included, with the push fit (means no glue needed) pre-coloured plastic models and you only need a cutter to prepare the game.
Warhammer World 2023 – Exhibition Centre Part 3
And the third part of our coverage on the 2023 visits to the Warhammer World exhibition, focusing on the 40,000 part of Warhammer, including the gigantic centre piece of the exhibit further below.
Imperial Might
A huge mustering of the Imperial Guard. This has been in the exhibition since 2015, and can be seen in our 2018 and 2020 coverage, but is updated from time to time, to include newer units. For example the tanks in the front rows have been replaced by the Rogal Dorn Tanks. This time I paid more attention to the background and I really like scratch build supply train in the background, as well as the modified Valkyrie using the wings and eagle from the Aquila Strongpoint of the Wall of Martyrs kit (rare kit and OOP).
