Axineton Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) So long story short, I have both sets of space marine heroes and wondered is there a viable way of making use of them in an Ultramarines army? I’m not sure how these guys work due to them all having different weapons etc so am I right in thinking they’d all be in different squads due to their load outs or am I overthinking things here? Edit: provided a link to series 1 & 2 on Warcom: https://spacemarineheroes.com/ Edited March 27, 2020 by Axineton Captain Idaho 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/362825-making-use-of-the-space-marine-heroes-series-1-2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Space Marine Heroes series 1 is the Tactical squad, right? They work well for Marines, though I will concede they work best in 5 man squads maximising their weapon upgrades. This is their great strength, getting points into weapons as cheaply as positive. Series 2 is the Terminator squad, right? I think Terminators are viable in numbers with target saturation in competitive circumstance but semi-competitive/casual it looks fairly strong to get some mileage out of them. I might be wrong though as I'm not sure which are which with these releases?

No Foes Remain Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Idaho you are correct, the only downside to them is due to their nice bases they stand a bit taller than other models. I've got some just to my right and they are taller than the sternguard standing next to them who in turn is slightly taller than the tactical marine next to him. My personal plan for them is to use them for a kill team force where their larger scale won't be noticed if I don't use other non-hero models with them.

Axineton Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Yeah Idaho your correct mate. So the weapons they’re holding doesn’t matter? Cos I’m sure one of series 1 is holding a plasma rifle and another is holding a rocket launcher. whereas series 2 the terminators all look to be equipped with all different weapons.

No Foes Remain Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Yeah the series 1 you get a Captain and 8 tacical marines (1 sgt, 1 plasma gun, 1 missile launcher and 5 bolters), series 2 comes with 3 assault terminators (1 sgt TH&SS, 1 TH&SS, 1 LC0, 4 tactical terminators (2 storm bolter, 1 assault cannon, 1 missile) 1 banner bearer and 1 captain. Edit: You can get the sgt and the 3 missing guys in this box. Thats where I got them from.

So looks like it might be doable then. I don’t have any oldmarines in my army currently apart from a squad of terminators. Everything is Primaris but I’d like to add all these to the army if I can get the paint scheme right.
