Warhammer 40,000 - Space Marines: Hellblasters

Publisher: Games Workshop

Imperial observers have compared the incinerator fire of a Hellblaster squad to that of a solar flare.

Repeated plasma rays streak the battlefield; anyone who finds himself in the crosshairs of the Hellblasters is quickly annihilated, their armor reduced to ashes and their bodies to gleaming carbuncles.

Even armored vehicles soon boiled down to piles of metal dross.

Deployed in the right place at the right time, a Hellblaster unit can stem the onslaught of an armored spearhead, or defeat the most titanic of alien monsters.

This plastic kit contains the components needed to assemble a set of 10 Primaris Hellblasters.

In Mk X Tacticus energy armor, they disdain the complexity of the equipment variants used by their battle brothers, and prefer to stick to a single weaponry, their specialty: plasma.

The miniatures can be assembled in a squad of 10, including 9 Hellblasters and a Sergeant, or in 2 separate squads of 5 with each its own Sergeant.

The entire squad can be equipped with a plasma arsenal – 10 plasma incinerators are provided, as well as the parts to make them assault plasma incinerators or heavy plasma incinerators, depending on your preference.

Assault or heavy variants can be recognized by their mouths, their power flanges, and the wiring that connects them to the Hellblasters' backpack.

4 incinerators are in the transport position instead of shouldered, and you have the option to 4 Hellblasters with a plasma gun in the other hand.

The problem (which some would call a bonus...) of plasma weapons is their tendency to overheat, which is reflected in several optional components.

The Sergeant has head variants with burn scars, and the bionic arms on offer evoke limbs lost in plasma effusions.

In addition, there is a wide range of pistol cases, reliquaries, grenades and purity seals.

Primaris Hellblasters come in 250 components, plus 10 32mm Citadel round bases and a decal sheet.
