New Space Marines Miniatures
Kaius Konorius

On the battlefield, he is capable of cutting through enemy Characters and massed infantry while helping to protect the Leader of the unit he joins from Precision attacks.
Captain on Bike
Lead a rapid assault with the new Space Marines Captain on Bike.
The Captain can be equipped with a master-crafted power weapon, thunder hammer or plasma pistol. The kit also includes five head options and allows the bike to be posed either racing forwards or resting with the rider’s foot down.
Outrider Squad
The updated Outrider Squad contains three fast-moving Space Marines mounted on powerful bikes.
The Sergeant can carry a power sword or thunder hammer, while ten head choices and additional pouches and accessories provide plenty of scope for personalisation.

The kit includes combat shields for every model, together with power swords and power axes representing their master-crafted power weapons. The Sergeant can instead be equipped with a relic blade, power fist or thunder hammer.

The kit includes 13 helmets drawn from three different armour marks. A power sword, power fist and traditional back banner are also included for the Sergeant.
