Robbienw Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 53 minutes ago, Blindhamster said: 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 It looks that way, but it’s a bit of an optical illusion with the other parts (not just in the photo either, looks that way IRL). Helmets, arms, shoulderpads, backpacks and weapons are all the same size as the regular tac marine kit. You can easily swap in these parts from other marine kits to convert these models and they fit nicely The increase in height and bulk is all in the legs and torso. If you have parts to compare at hand, you can see a lot of the parts in the set are direct cad ports from tactical, devastator and deathwatch kits, or ported parts that have been modified a bit.

beefeb Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I really like them, and the article does seem to indicate the rest of them will be rereleased perhaps. I have series 2 and 3 but missed out on series 1. However....blind buy! I utterly detest blind purchases, so probably wont bother.....nothing worse than having multiples of one and none of others. I dont gamble if i can possibly avoid it. skylerboodie and Slave to Darkness 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Knight Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Wow, I am very disappointed. I was hoping for some Primaris, because more poses would be a win for my collection, but I was realistic and knew the kit could well be another set of the classic Astartes. This is a significant step down from any expectations... Khornestar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Heresy Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s a pleasant surprise to see these coming back. I’ve already got all of series one but glad I can get at least two of previously Japan/board game exclusive models for not silly money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, could just be red so we dont all go 'oh we have never seen these images before'. They do look great in the red though, I may pick some up for a kill team.

lhg033 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Cant remember which of these i snagged the first time. I'm tempted to try my luck on these now and then. I nearly bought the SM heroes 'game' a few times. I am hoping, thought think it will be unlikely, that they also do the others that were part of this set, e.g the commander I'll definitely keep an eye out for the terminators if they make a return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1SB Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I agree the Space Marine Heroes Series 2 Terminators are really something to look forward to. Above is the Sergeant from Series 2, it's basically the quality of a character model. He really just pops imho, all of Series 2 does. Maybe finally do a Deathwing Detachment, I missed my chance to buy a full box before. I might even take them for a Chaos Warband that's less daemonic, like Alpha Legion or Iron Warriors or something. So I join you guys in your excitement for this news not so much about the TacMarines re-release, but the eventual Termies to come. tangoalphatwo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 only problem with the termies in series 2 is that they don't have real bare heads that you can snag and use on other models ;( N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Legionnaire Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think GW really missed an opportunity here.. If they wanted to do Blood Angels tac marines they should have done the squad from the Angels of Death series. that being said, I think it’d still make a nice Kill Team. I may pick them up for that.

Jukkiz Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 these are great for conversion starts as mst of the time arms are separate like older marines were/are. Alot potential for great HQ models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Navaer Solaq Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 First impression when I read the title was ooh. After reading the article, it became a meh. If these are reprints of the Series 1 except the models are red then it is not really a big incentive to purchase it. I would probably pick up a couple of it for fun and add it to my SMA: Labyrinth of Necron board game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 For me I never got around to getting them at the first time of asking so I've no objection at all about them being available again at non-eBay prices. Shame it's just 6 rather than the original.. was it 12? But then the next series might be the other 6 in Dark Angels Green or something.
