N1SB Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 +++ Thought of the Day: The price of getting what we want, is being laden with what we had once wanted. +++ +++ Overview +++ I previously did a more thorough unboxing of Space Marine Heroes Series 1: the Ultramarine Tactical Squad. This is the sequel. At the 500th Warhammer Store opening in Hong Kong, they had Space Marine Heroes Series 2: the Blood Angel Terminators. Back of box: It's very much like Series 1. There are a number of random models all in the same type of box. They are drawn from a larger crate. However, the Series 1 crate with all the models was shaped like a giant Rhino, which was at least funny. This time, it's just a relatively generic red box. A few of us in Hong Kong bought these for fun and the general impression we all got is the Lightning Claws one, charging forward, is the fan favourite, due to his dynamic pose. Putting them side-by-side with other Terminator kits, these look a bit more detailed, and they're just a bit finer. There's a silhouette of the Terminator Captain. It is an AWESOME figure. He's got like an auspex built into the back of his Power Fist. They're priced at like Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350550-n1sb-labs-unboxing-space-marine-heroes-series-2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I actually can't get over the fact that buying a full crate/squad of these guys' cost per model might be cheaper than the actual Terminator Squad box. Indeed; I ordered a couple of sets from Japan recently, and if you discount the shipping cost, the boxes work out at about £25 each, which is £3 less than a normal box of Terminators from GW and has a Captain bundled on on top. It's insane really. Even after shipping and taxes, it's going to come in less than buying 2 Terminator Squads and 2 Terminator Captains from GW.

N1SB Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I forgot to show you what it looks like painted. I made mine into a Black Templar, because as you know, there are actually no Chapter-specific markings: Btw, please remind me, someone, anyone...have these been released to the Rest of World yet? Or is it a Japan-exclusive still at this moment, early May 2019?

Brother Casman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 So far as I know, the rest of the world is still waiting on this release, but I can't imagine it'll be too much longer.

Robbienw Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The worldwide release of series 2 contains 3 new models that weren't released in Japan (but is missing the heavy flamer terminator). There is a new guy with Thunderhammer and Storm Shield, a new one with Assault Cannon and a new walking one with Storm Bolter and Powerfist and a servo skull :) Pic is from Smaug on Dakkadakka, from the NY toyfair: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350550-n1sb-labs-unboxing-space-marine-heroes-series-2/#findComment-5309487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thanks for confirming, I was hopping between this thread and the upcoming Series 3 thread. We're missing those 3 you mentioned, and of the 3...they're all great actually. Even the basic walking Termie, the way these are constructed (so the model and the base are actually designed to work together), the ambulatory guys are actually the most interesting to us once people got them out and painted. We had a Heavy Flamer + Chainfist guy...who won't be missed probably. Thanks a lot to you, Brother Robbienw, and others for updating us. News about this stuff has been coming so fast it's making my head spin. Great stuff. Reminder - when this comes to you and it's opened up like in that photo (which was similar to how we got ours), lift each box to see which is the heaviest...that'll probably be the Thunder Hammer one.
