Hello my friends! After almost two weeks without a word from me, I'm back in the business... This Monday the net has been flooded with new pictures from the new Imperial Space Marine figure, based in one from 1986!
In a time when the Warhammer 40k was in black and white...
Celebrating thirty years of Space Marines, the Imperial Space Marine (2016) is a strictly-limited re-imagining of the first ever Space Marine model. It’s a little piece of history that GW is proud of, and excited to share with you. Some of you have been there with us from the very beginning – our own Jim is a grizzled veteran himself, and is here to share his thoughts on the new miniature.
First off we have the 30th Anniversary Space Marine mini himself. Enjoy the 360!
Iconic soldiers of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Space Marines are recognisable to all. Slamming down from orbit in Drop Pods and unleashing hell onto the enemies of the Imperium, they are found in every corner of the galaxy, heroically battling evil wherever it is found in a desperate struggle for the very survival of mankind itself. As long as a single Space Marine draws breath, the Imperium of Man stands inviolable.
This model is strictly limited – once it’s gone, that’s it – so move quickly to ensure your own little piece of history!
Games Workshop invites you to celebrate thirty years of Space Marines (yes, it really has been that long…) with this incredible, limited edition reimagining of the first ever Space Marine miniature! Armed with a disintegration pistol, disintegration combi-gun and combat blade, he comes with a Citadel 32mm Round base in a special presentation box, featuring his rules for deployment in games of Warhammer 40,000!
The original (metal) ...
... and 30 years latter!
Then we will get Index Astartes Apocrypha, which will take you on a tour of 30 years of Space Marines, from thier first appearance in Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader, up into the modern era. Here are a handful of images that will take you back…
Who was around when these images were first published?
While you’re at it, feel free to explore 30 years of 40K codexes and publications in Lexicanum ...
From my part that's all for now. Thank you for your time and hoping to write to you soon.

Hello, Mr PlasticKingdoms! May I ask, will the index astartes: apochrypha be bundled with the space marine? I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything
