Warhammer 40000 Space Marine Heroes 2022

[-DonCorleone-]

The Captain from series 1, the Malignant Plaguecaster from series 3, and Terminator Ancient from series 2 get to ridiculous prices on the second hand market. Hopefully they get added soon.

Also, is the Blood Angel on the box art new? Could it be hint of the rumour of 10th ed starter set being painted as Blood Angels for promotion materials?

Nope, it's from the 9th ed. BA codex.

Well I believe they Heavy Bolter Marine was only in the Barns&Noble set in the USA.

They were "limited" enough that they can probably still sell them at that silly price to collectors/people wanting better looking tacticals/anyone that wasn't around at the time while also having to basically put no effort in it

Plus they might have stock left, considering they were even using them as pieces for that board game that was sold only in Germany/USA/DownUnderland last time we saw them 

 

Keep also in mind they mention this is "set 1", so it's likely they'll put the other 6 on sale later.Only question remains what'll they do with the captain

This won't be done because of having stock left over as the sprue colour is different.

I hope the Captain does come back as well as that's the only one I'm missing.

I grabbed the Death Guard first time round. It would be cool if they did black legion, 1k sons, or even World Eaters… but I won’t get my hopes up

It was released in the UK in the box called Space Marine Adventures, Labyrinth of the Necrons. I purchased it from Game.

Might see if I can nab the bare heads I guess.

Got Milk??

[KurtanionNZ]

I'm excited for this! Finally an opportunity to try pick up Brother Toriad (the heavy bolter) at a not outrageous price for my Kill Team. 

I feel like his heavy bolter is just the most aesthetically pleasing.

Anyone with the original models first time round, could you confirm the size of these models? I'm interested to know if they're bigger than standard Tactical Marines, the same size as the new MK6 Marines, or something different.

I'm super excited for any sets with Terminators. If they're the same price, £40 for 8 Terminagor models ain't bad when you can sell off the 2 duplicates, though whether they'd maintain the same deal is up in the air of course. I dunno, likely not if they're Terminators?

they are the same size as normal first born just posed better and have a mm or so of base extra 

[Grotsmasha]

@Captain Idaho They're closer in size to the Deathwatch Marines

Any ideas what 'other outlets' in the UK will stock these from today?

This could be a cool painting challenge for my son a friend one day over the summer holiday.

The previous website is yet to be updated, still showing the last releases

Heroes site

Would be interested in those outlets for Germany as well

[No Foes Remain]

UK wise, I know Dark Sphere stocked them last time (termies too) so it's fairly reasonable that most 3rd party stores would stock them.

[Kaiju Soze]

Also in the UK, I found the Death Guard series in Game.

At the risk of flogging an old horse, First Born in this scale, with dynamic poses like this would have been sooooo much better than Primaris.

[Robbienw]

Noticeably taller than a standard Mk7.  Similar height to the new Mk6.

You’re right, it’s a dead horse.

Once the full sets are released again, should be easy to build a few squads of upscaled Tactical Marines without too much overlap in the poses.

With a little bit of cutting and maybe some extra bits they can all look a bit different.

[Blindhamster]

Robbie, is it me or does everything just seem larger for them? The shoulder pads and backpack even seen larger in that image. Could be a trick or the colours perhaps? 
 

I always liked that they made a more dynamic tactical squad for heroes, would make a good kill team tbh

[phandaal]

The heads are basically the same size. That is one of the important factors in making the scale look right.

You can actually stick a Mk 7 head on a Mk X body and it will work perfectly.

The OG scaling is just that different.

Yeah I know that the heads are, I was more interested in the rest. Like, if you look at deathwatch marines, their heads are actually smaller (both helmet and bare head), but shoulder pads are identical in size, arms are slightly longer, legs are slightly longer, torso is about the same.

mkX have the same size heads (more or less, they’re actually a bit narrower) and slightly larger shoulder pads - not so much you can’t use any firstborn ones though. 
 

just interested with these as to what is actually larger. Kind of looks like it’s the same CAD as a tactical marine, but more upright and everything has been scaled up a fraction, if that makes sense?

I feel like this is very much a “Oh look, Malibu Stacy has a new hat!” type of thing.

That….and they stopped selling that specific Malibu Stacy too soon leaving a lot of people still wanting it.

So In the end this is pretty great! I understand that FOMO is a cornerstone of GWs business strategy, but imo anything that goes against that is a good thing in my books.

Yep, I see what you mean. Chest and shoulder plates look bigger, legs are longer and wider.

The scaling does look different as well. The arms on the guy on the left would easily reach past his knees. The one on the right not as much.

So it is probably both. Increased size of model files, adjustments to some of the scaling.
