++ Delivery Fulfillment... sometime next year ++
As we get close to Christmas, and the elves at Games Workshop are busy helping Santa, they need to slow down on the pre-orders for us - the civilians. Therefore, this week we have two Made to Order sets and one Commemorative Series miniature all loosely based around the new Prime animated series Secret Level, which like the game Space Marine II, is bringing in fans from the greater populace to later haunt us in the online communities with their hot takes & "deep knowledge" of Warhammer 40K. We really are our own worst enemies...
Space Marine Heroes was a great series of Space Marine blindboxed minis initially for the Japanese market, where blind boxed is a huge thing culturally. This week the Space Marines: Heroes of the First Company is from one of those very series, giving a more dynamic set of poses than the former Terminators. This set has options for head or helmets on each mini, and added decorations on their armour to the standard Terminators of their time. Keep in mind that these Terminators are slightly smaller than the current Terminators released in 2023.
The other set on pre-order this week is the Space Marines: Company Command, utilising the old Space Marine Command Squad, the last of the pre-Primaris Librarians, and the ugliest Chaplain known to man or beast. It's absolutely fascinating seeing this put up on Made to Order as these are not Primaris Space Marines - they are the venerable so-called Alphas in the Heroic Scale rather than their larger, more recent brothers. A nice kit, and an excellent Librarian mini, this is well over twice the amount it used to retail for.
The Commemorative Series miniature is the protagonist of Space Marine II and part of the cast of Secret Level, Lieutenant Demetrian Titus. We like to think of this mini as Tripping Over Tight-arse, as the pose is so awkwardly posed that he really does look like he's about to slip, or maybe he's drunkenly attacking a windmill.
