And so to celebrate, Adam and I took to the White Dwarf hobby room gaming table to enact a fittingly epic Battle Report. The forces of the Imperium went to war against the Black Legion in a game as brutal as you can imagine, and which really showed off all the cool new rules in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. I hope your games are going to be just as fun! Just watch out for Malefic Daemonology… It’s not all far-future warfare, though, as in other news a host of new painting sets go up for pre-order, which has given us the perfect excuse to go right back to basics and look atthe Citadel Painting System. It’s a brilliant way to not only get paint on your models in the most straightforward manner possible, but to also get them looking fantastic. (I’m areal convert to the Dry paints – I used Necron Compound to drybrush the skeletons of my Imperial Knights and it’s just brilliant.) Enjoy the issue! Terminators are veterans of a Chapter’s First Company, indefatigable warriors deployed to the most hostile battlefields in the galaxy, their Tactical Dreadnought Armour affording them the protection and firepower they require to carry out their mission . Space Marine Strike Force Ultra represents a fearsome deployment of Terminators, a certified death warrant for the foes of the Imperium. This all-plastic boxed set contains 10 Space Marine Terminators, 10 Space Marine Assault Terminators, an exclusive Terminator Captain ( see more of him over the page) , a Venerable Dreadnought, a Stormraven Gunship and a Land Raider Crusader. A formidable army in its own right, Strike Force Ultra would also make an excellent addition to an existing Space Marine collection. All the units in the Strike Force come with a selection of weapon options, enabling you to tailor them to your needs. The Terminators come with a selection of heavy weapons such as the assault cannon and cyclone missile launcher, while the Assault Terminators can be equipped wi
