Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Leviathan (10th Edition Boxed Set)

Product Information

But, dear reader, of course they can. And the vanguard of that fresh nightmare arrives in this very box!

This model is spectacular. Drenched in all manner of details – from their turning shields, their purity seals, the heraldic elements of their armour and their masterfully-sculpted face – there is literally nothing to not like about this miniature. Mounted on an impressive scenic base, too, this models is commmanding no matter where it is – safely stored in pride-of-place on a hobby shelf or leading your Space Marines to glorious victory on the tabletop. In all, the positives on this side of the box drastically outweigh the negatives. The leggy dreadnought, the duplicate Infernus Squad sprues, and the push-fit models (which won’t be a criticism for some people who aren’t fans of the building process) are tiny niggles that are easily forgotten amidst the spew of exciting, detailed, and unique miniatures. If they do make new starter sets for Tenth Edition (and we think it’s fairly safe to say that they probably will), it’s worth noting that if the previous editions are anything to go by, these won’t include all of the miniatures. With both Indomitus and Dominion, their starter sets didn’t contain all the more impressive single or elite miniatures – such as the Primaris Chaplain and the Judiciar in Indomitus, and Yndrasta the Celestial Spear and the Knight-Vexillor with Banner of Apotheosis in Dominion. These were later released as part of the Space Marines: Honoured of the Chapter and Thunderstrike Command sets, but the astronomical price tag of these kits (which were eye-wateringly close to the retail prices of the big boxes they were originally from) left jaws across the world very much dropped, and the #WarhammerCommunity hashtag overflowing with anger. The new swole Apothecary ( who fares very poorly in the Cinematic Trailer), the Lieutenant in Phobos Armour ( who fares significantly better ) and the Sternguard Veteran Squad all arrive on the same sprue. If you’re struggling to tell the components apart, do take a look at the image below. The Apothecary is in red, the Lieutenant is in purple, and the Sternguard are in green and blue. Exalted Sorcerer • Sorcerer • Warpsmith • Dark Apostle • Master of Possession • Master of Executions • Lord Discordant • Warsmith • Death Guard Sorcerer • Lord of Contagion • Malignant Plaguecaster • Plague Surgeon • Tallyman • Scarab Occult Sorcerer • Scarab Occult TerminatorsThe resources required to produce one were immense, equal perhaps even to an Imperial Knight. Made available to the Legiones Astartes only in limited quantities before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, they were highly valued and recognised as savagely powerful siege and hunter-killer units. Space Marine Terminators are heavily armed veterans in the most advanced warsuits available to the Imperium of Man, capable of deploying to the battlefield in a teleportation strike. Games Workshop has already revealed the full stats for the terminators in 10th edition, and the new starter set comes with five of them. As the name suggests, Von Ryan’s Leapers are intended to be an agile, nimble unit, and these lithe, sinewy monsters capture the essence of that role with ease. Each is posed as if in mid-strike, natural weapons raised or Cthulhu-esque mouth-limbs reaching for a target. Again, they’re gross, but absolutely gorgeous. Blood Angels Leviathan Siege Dreadnought, Venerable-Exemplar Jophial, Keruvim Convocation of Ancients during the Battle of Signus Prime. A Relic Leviathan Pattern Dreadnought may replace one or both of their Leviathan Siege Claws with built-in Meltaguns with any of these options:

The cinematic shot, featuring the ‘Eavy Metal Studio’s work on all the brand-new miniatures, shows off the Leviathan box at its absolute best. A horde of biomass-hungry Tyranids from Hive Fleet Leviathan descend upon a defensive line of Ultramarines led by the impressive new Captain in Terminator Armour.

Similar to the Space Marines, all the Tyranid models are push-fit monopose models. There are no weapon options or alternate bitz, and the Termagants come with Fleshborers only. Leviathan Tyranids Neurotyrant and Screamer-Killer sprue Leviathan Tyranids Psychophage sprue Leviathan Tyranids Van Ryan’s Leapers sprue Hrimthursar Arn Therod - Therod was a Leviathan Pattern Siege Dreadnought of the Space Wolves Legion's Fourth Great-Company. Arn Therod was renowned even amongst the bitter ranks of the Hrimthursar for his grim demeanour and unremitting wrath, Therod was present for the Breaking of the Acropolis Magna's gates and the slaughter that soon followed. Therod systematically slaughtered the members of the Prosperine Spireguard for hours on end, their weapons proving little more than an annoyance against the mighty Dreadnoughts hull. As with all Space Wolves Legion Dreadnoughts, Therod's hull was covered with decorative inscriptions and designs, mostly commemorating past deeds and victories. One design of note was the Hagalaz rune inscribed upon the Dreadnought's left greave, a mark of the Hrimthursar, the most hated of the Sons of Ymir, the given name for the Space Wolves Dreadnought cadres.
