Dark Angels Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrade Set $39

The ranks of the Dark Angels boast some of the most venerable warriors and fearsome weaponry in the galaxy, a legacy of the secretive honours they earned on Terra itself. When both are combined in a Dreadnought, the result is a warrior-machine without peer, fielded by the Ironwing in overwhelming onslaughts of firepower and mechanical might.

This upgrade kit customises a Contemptor Dreadnought with a new resin head and torso, themed around the Dark Angels Legion. The head has a distinctive gothic appearance, while the torso sports the winged armourial of the I Legion in the form of a sword-wielding angel statuette, alongside elements like studded armour bands, chains, and a baroque, shrine-like hood with votive candles to honour the fallen warrior inside. It’s perfect for adding the I Legion look to your mighty Contemptor Dreadnoughts.

This upgrade kit contains 3 resin components designed to be assembled with the plastic Contemptor Dreadnought, which is sold separately. These components are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

Sons of Horus Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrade Set $39

Those warriors of the Imperial Fists who fall in glory are recovered, wherever possible – for if they possess the sheer will to cling to life, they may fight on in a Contemptor Dreadnought shell.

White Scars Contemptor Dreadnought Upgrade Set $39

Incarceration within a Dreadnought chassis holds a particular horror for the White Scars, who value the joys of life more than most.

The Alpha Legion are a Legion of saboteurs and infiltrators, armed with deceit and clad in rumour. Embedded in the heart of the Imperium, the XX Legion dissect their enemies with a thousand secret victories. Even the honours borne by the sons of Alpharius are marked by indecipherable symbols, incorporated into advanced armour of unknown provenance.

This upgrade kit can be used to customise Legionaries from the MKVI Tactical Squad set with new heads, replacing the standard helmets with Alpha Legion-specific headgear. The kit includes nine helmeted heads in three different designs, each with sweeping, scale-like decorations, as well as two heads designed for Sergeants – one bald bare head, and one helm with a hydra crest.

Legiones Astartes – Character Heads Upgrade Set 2 $25

The Legiones Astartes recruited Space Marines from across the galaxy – and though they may seem anonymous when clad in their power armoured helmets, each Legionary is an individual hero in their own right.

Alpha Legion MKVI Shoulder Pads $25

The Alpha Legion are a Legion of saboteurs and infiltrators, armed with deceit and clad in rumour.

Traitor Esoterist Consul $43

Legion Esoterists are psykers who drink deep from wells of outlawed wisdom, willing to defy the Edicts of Nikaea and explore the Immaterium’s secrets – with or without the blessings of their Primarchs. These gifted lore-seekers wield their knowledge to ward off or harness the eldritch denizens of the warp, embracing the unnatural powers that shape the Age of Darkness. Amongst the Traitor Legiones, Esoterists are a conduit for daemonic allies and dark prophecy, shifting the odds firmly in the Warmaster’s favour.

This multipart resin kit builds one Traitor Esoterist Consul – a psyker of the Traitor Legiones who trafficks in forbidden lore. He’s armed with a force staff modified to resemble the eight-pointed star of Chaos, and a bolt pistol strapped to his hip. His MKVI armour is covered by an obscuring robe and incorporates an arching psychic hood, mingling the signs of the Librarius with a collection of dark runes, gathered relics, and proscribed tomes. The kit includes a choice of two different heads – a bare head covered by a loose hood, and a beaked MKVI helmet with cables linking it to the psychic hood.

This kit comprises 10 resin components and comes with a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.

Exodus – The One Who Is Many $56

None can say whether Exodus is a single individual, or one of several supremely skilled assassins operating at the behest of the uppermost echelons of the Alpha Legion. Whatever the truth, the agent – or agents – known as Exodus must rank amongst the most dangerous killers outside of the Officio Assassinorum. Combining the physiology of a Space Marine with the fieldcraft and patience of an assassin, Exodus is said to rival even the marksmen of Clade Vindicare in his ability to insinuate himself into position and deliver a pivotal killing shot.

This multipart resin kit builds Exodus – the One Who Is Many, a legendary assassin of the Alpha Legion. This sinister figure is clad in heavily modified MKIV armour, decorated with the scales and sigils of his Legion and kitted out with a variety of advanced sensors and stealth gear – including the camo cloak draped over his shoulders. He’s posed with The Instrument, his long-barrelled sniper rifle, which combines advanced bolter weaponry and gravitic accelerator technology to deadly effect. Exodus also sports a sheathed power dagger and a variety of grenades strung across his chest, including the XX Legion’s signature venom spheres.

This kit comprises 11 resin components and a Citadel 32mm Round Base. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
