Horus Heresy: Ultramarines & Thousand Sons Get the Upgrade Treatment With New Kits
The Ultramarines in blue and Thousand Sons in red are getting their heads and shoulders upgraded with new kits from Forge World.
The ULtramarines are the goody two shoes of 30K… so it’s only fitting that they get their turn in the upgrade dome. They’ve got a new trio of MKVI, and MkIII upgrade packs coming — for heads, torsos, and one for their shoulder pads. Let’s take a quick look at what’s coming down the pipe. Oh, and the sons of Magnus get some goodies as well.
“Ensuring that your squads of Ultramarines are equipped with the (appropriate and properly regulated) finery of Ultramar is a matter of utmost importance – you must practise what you preach, which will be made even easier with these upcoming Made to Order kits.”
Ultramarines MKIII Shoulderpads Upgrades
MKIII power armour is good honest ceramite, perfectly suited to dense combat environments – MKVI squads shouldn’t get all the love just because they’re the new kids on the block. Not only are the sculpted ‘Ultima’ symbols easy to paint, the tastefully thick trim means more of those gold embellishments the XIII Legion loves so much.
Ultramarines Mk IV Torsos Upgrades
MKIV ‘Maximus Armour’ offers a balance of agility and durability, and finds itself right at home in the Legions of Ultramar, which are renowned for their strategic flexibility. Customised by the artificers of the 500 Worlds, these MKIV torsos feature additional armour plating over their power cables – which leaves plenty of room for fancy sculpted Legion motifs.
Ultramarines Veteran Helmets & Mk III Torsos Upgrades
All Ultramarines respect the strict hierarchies dictated by Guilliman’s political philosophy. Somewhere near the top of this structure sit the Invictarii, an elite cadre of proven warriors and administrators, handpicked by the Primarch for future command positions. Their wargear marks them out as the best of the best, with the symbols of Macragge and the Imperium taking centre stage.
Thousand Sons Mk III Pauldrons Upgrades
Well now, what’s this? Even the galaxy’s greatest logistical minds can make a mistake now and then. These Thousand Sons shoulder pads have somehow found their way to Ultramar – but they’re being repackaged and sent on to Prospero, where they’ll make a squad of Magnus’ sons very happy. They’re perfect for anyone looking for a thicker trim on their sorcerous shoulder pads.
Both of these resin sets are coming soon and are Made to Order. Keep an eye out for your next batch from Forge World!
Would Guilliman or Magnus be most proud of these upgrades?
