Product Information

Suppressors (including a Suppressor Sergeant) equipped with accelerator autocannons and a grav-chutes

Space Marines are Warhammer 40k’s widest and deepest army, yet they remain among its most accessible, and, with a wider variety of possible paths to victory than almost any other faction, they always have the potential to surge once again to victories at Warhammer 40k’s top competitive tables. Varied playstyles. You can completely change the character of a Space Marine army simply by changing which supplement it draws its rules from. Once close enough, they have to contend with Toughness nine, 10 wounds, a 2+ save and 4+ invulnerable save. And should he be slain, the armor of Fate allows him to return from death on a roll of 3+. In short, he looks like an absolute unit.Tough and reliable. Space Marine units have great profiles, with even the basic Marine offering high Strength and Toughness and a 3+ save. They’re a resilient army which can be forgiving for newer players. The three Vanguard Space Marine units are all designed to level accurate fire on enemies. The Infiltrators, once deployed can fire with their Markmanship Bolt Carbines. Rapid Fire allows the unit to double its shots, so the 10-man squad can fire 20 rounds, which automatically hit and wound on rolls of a 6. Unit wise bolt rifle Intercessors are flexible decent troop choices in most lists. Inceptors with assault bolters are great for dropping in and dishing out a boatload of bolter shots. Hellblasters a great unit but also are your only method of AT in the box, they’ll have to do a lot of heavy lifting.

Minotaurs: No one knows who the Minotaurs’ dad is.But they do know that they are total bastards, even by Space Marine standards.This start collecting rips. This is the one to get. Running in at 473pts and themed around phobos units, this box gives you a really solid firebase and a good springboard to take the army a number of different directions. The Nurgle box is pretty good value. If you’re collecting Nurgle Daemons you want Plaguebearers and Nurglings en masse, and at least one Poxbringer too. If you’re going to buy those things, you might as well buy this box, and basically get the Plague Drones for free. A very respectable set which gives you pretty much what you want to get going with the faction – perfect.

If you are wondering if there is a new box coming out for your favorite faction, just look at our list of upcoming 40k releases. Contents: 1 Tech-priest Dominus (HQ), 10 Skitarii Vanguard/Rangers (Troops), 1 Onager Dunecrawler (Heavy Support)Was macht die Vanguard Space Marines so besonders? Gemäß den Spielregeln dürfen die in diesem Set enthaltenen Einheiten während der Aufstellung praktisch überall auf dem Schlachtfeld positioniert werden, so lange die Aufstellung mindestens 9" entfernt von feindlichen Einheiten erfolgt. Damit ist man in den meisten Spielen schon sehr dicht an Missionszielen - Oder in Feuerreichweite zum Feind. In Kombination mit anderen Einheiten wie z.B. der Invictor Tactial Warsuit ergeben sich tolle Möglichkeiten für Erstschläge. Die Spielweise empfiehlt sich jedoch weniger für Einsteiger, diese sind mit der klassischen Space Marine Ausstattung aus z.B. Dark Imperium deutlich besser beraten. In the command phase, select a doctrine and a unit. Until your next Command phase, that unit is under the effects of that doctrine no matter what your army is using. All of these units are usable up to a fairly high level of play, with eliminators being almost must have unit in some tourney lists. Squad Safir, Swords of Davion Relic Contemptor Dreadnought .
