Plastic warboss, AKA ‘Mr Snippy’ and the three deffkoptas form the upcoming starter set. Looking very nice! Could be time for my Evil Sunz and Speed Freekz to be dusted off and upgraded to the new models.

Bell of lost souls has posted the preview shots of the gamers and collectors editions. Me, I am very interested in seeing one of those bolter shell ammo boxes up close! A very nice looking storage for some of my marines. I think one of my Space Marine Kill teams would find a pretty comfortable home in that.

A little rumour has been going around about the new 5th edition of Warhammer 40k’s starter set. Aside from the normal ork and space marine models, there are little birdies talking about a 5 man squad of terminators coming with the set.

Cheap terminators? Excellent! True, they will be storm bolter and power fist only, but that is no different to the 1st edition of space hulk, so I may be getting some from the bitz dealers online! A bit of chopping and conversion and the heavy weapons options should pose no problem.

The other bonus is the new space marine codex will herald a new recut space marine sprue with older models of power armour. (or so the rumours go)

Could be a bit of a nice year for my marine armies!
