Warhammer+ Bladeguard Veteran (Astartes II slated for December)

[Lord Marshal]

Both models included now. Available from August 25th, which is also when this year's go away. 

 

 

 

Quote

Wrath of Macragge continues a sterling tradition of Space Marines stabbing Orks on bases, depicting a dynamic Bladeguard Veteran dispatching an Ork in the midst of a furious melee. Don’t let the name fool you – while the image above is painted in the glorious blue of a son of Guilliman, there are no sculpted Ultramarines details on the model, so yours can be from whatever Chapter you like*. 

 

You also get a yearbook included, so there's that. Brace for subscription increase I suppose. Increasing by £1 a month.

 

 

Quote

The Warhammer Yearbook is a new addition to your subscription for 2026. This is a lavish, coffee table-style annual packed with photos and artwork celebrating the worlds of Warhammer. This book, like the miniatures above, are included in your subscription.

 

Plus some dates.

New animations will include a perilous journey into the Mortal Realms, and the much anticipated Astartes II, set to drop this December. If you’ve not watched it yet, there’s a little snippet of both these animations in the video at the top of this page.

Really like that one  

 

Dunno if its enough for me to get WH+ 

 

But I really like it 

[Casual Heresy]

Well that's my new Ultramarine Lieutenant sorted!

 

Hard to believe that this is the first Warhammer+ model that is a Marine. But it does look epic. And I do appreciate that he is chapter agnostic.

 

The Warhammer annual mentioned in the article is interesting as well. Fingers crossed it dosen't herald a price increase though.

Nooooooooo! I was thinking of letting the subscription lapse this year....

Got an e-mail form them with the price changes- "We wanted to give you a heads up that monthly subscriptions will also be changing in price from £5.99 to £6.99 per month. The price of an annual subscription will change from £49.99 to £61.99 – the equivalent of 12 months for the price of 9."

Feels like they saw how popular Bayard's Revenge was and decided to have another crack at it, this time one-handed!

[Jukkiz]

it´s okays, nothing mind blowing like that one inquisitor was not too long ago. 

Atleast it doesn´t have any chapter specific parts so easy customizing options. 

[lhg033]

It's a nice marine and ties in well with Armageddon though the Ork pose doesnt looks as good as the one on Bayard's Revenge

 

Not sure this and the other model/book are enough to tempt me back again having stopped a couple of years ago. I might have considered it if I was able to get these and also buy the Eldar one from the last year as I do like that but wasnt going to get a subscription for it alone.

[irlLordy]

For euro folks, it's going from

€6.49 -> €7.59 monthly

€54.99 -> €67.99 annually

 

so staying as getting 3 months off the cost if subscribing annually.

 

[MoriyaSchism]

Insanely dull miniature.

[Imprudent Decision]

Boring

[Subtleknife]

I don't understand why it is called "Wrath of Macragge". It doesn't look particularly ultramarines themed. Bladeguard look more naturally BT themed imo. 

 

It is an ok looking model, I just think the original templar one looks better.

[MechaMan]

First year both models are included and the first time I don’t want either of them lol 

[Marshal Reinhard]

Given I got Helbrecht, Bayard's Revenge and that one sergeant guy from back when, this feels like he'll fit right in.

 

EDIT: Nevermind! The text clearly says the the model is chapter agnostic despite the name!

Would´ve been great idea to make it Tyrannic war veteran killing Warrior or such if GW is wishing to push out 50 more ultrasmurfs again.

EDIT: Ugh, unneccessary extra post. Please delete, mods.

Bayard's Revenge 2: The Re-Revengening

[Craig]

Looks like blade guard are getting mixed armour too. The left shoulder pad looks like it came from a terminator.

The pad doesn't have the typical indent in the front that you find on terminator shoulder pads, it also appears to be completely uniform at the bottom, which I can't recall Indomitus terminator pads ever being. They always have the bit that goes further down in the center of the bottom rim.

 

Rather I find the left pad more reminiscent of a Mk VI pad, though with blade guard thickness (and without bonding studs, though it has rivets along the edge).

I'm sure eBay will have plenty of both.

[phoenix01]

I might just get a WH+ sub for this. I can use the Bladeguard and my son, who collects Death Guard, can use the AoS mini for bits for a plague champion or something.

[Xenith]

Phew, £61.99 for something I don't watch. Is the 40k app still free or do you need wh+ to use it?
