Lots of CCW's out of FW this week. Sons of Horus Reavers with Chain Axes, and Legion Despoilers, all with Chainswords and very cool Bolt Pistols
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/reavers1.jpg
Reaver squads in many ways epitomised the Sons of Horus Legion’s way of war. Heavily influenced by the tactics used in the incessant tribal warfare of Cthonia, Reaver units specialised in lightning-swift assaults which maimed and disabled their foes; striking down leaders, and mercilessly cutting down any who were weak or isolated. Each Reaver unit, whether squad or entire company in strength, was effectively a warband in its own right, and its warriors fought more as individuals than regimented soldiers, and all were utterly lethal against the enemies of Mankind during the Great Crusade.
The Sons of Horus Reaver Squad, designed by Alfonso Giraldes, is a multi-part resin kit containing five incredibly detailed Space Marines, five bolt pistols, five chain axes, a power fist, a hand flamer, five helmeted heads and one Sergeant head. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.
Sons of Horus Reavers (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/SONS_OF_HORUS_REAVER_ATTACK_SQUAD.html)
£32.00

If fighting is expected to be at close quarters, such as in boarding actions or trench clearance, Tactical squads can sometimes forgo the standard bolter in favour of the combination of a bolt pistol and chainsword, allowing the Astartes more manoeuvrability in whatever tight confines they may find themselves in. These more assault orientated units are referred to as Despoiler Squads within the Legiones Astartes.
The Legion Mk II Despoiler Squad, designed by Will Hayes, is a complete multi-part resin kit comprising five Space Marines armed with bolt pistols and chainswords. This kit is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 2nd August.
Despoilers (available in Mk 2, 3 or 4 armour) (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff)
