Brother Captain Tassarius 3,000 yen

Anaton Tassarius, the captain of the famous Ultramarine fighting team, is an excellent commander and at the same time an unparalleled swordsmen. It was only a part of his great achievement to slay barbado colossas with one blaze of power sword at Hexagrad and to bloody Varad’s blood and tyrant by a blow by a plasma pistol. Tassarius, who conducts at the forefront, can be said to be a hero who embodies the tradition inherited from the ancient to the planet McLag.

This push-fit · plastiniature is very elaborate and reproduces <Brother Captain · Tassarius> with feeling of participating in battle. He is equipped with a power sword and a plasma pistol and is in a position to bring out a heroic atmosphere and is staring at chaotic flocks that have committed folly against him by a severe expression. His armor has brilliant detail suitable for Ultramarine’s chapters captain, cloak is worn with fasteners on its shoulder, Iron halo in backpack, belt buckle, left Knit guard, right shoulder armor is equipped with <Imperial Moon Glass>.

The new Brother Captain Tassarius mini looks like a true leader of the Ultramarines. We’re also getting a great look at him in a how to build tutorial video starring everyone’s favorite Duncan.

For now the Space Marine Heroes line is only available in Japan, and we have not heard anything about them being released anywhere else. Here’s to hoping though…

The twelve new Space Marines were first spotted in March, and started making there way into stores back in May. Now it looks like they’ll also be available online for Japan shoppers. We have more information and some spectacular new miniature shots of them via GoodSmile

The blue mold color brings out an impressive look event without paint, but adding paint makes for an even more amazing appearance.

The Space Marine Heroes are of course great just to collect and display, but they can also be used in the Warhammer 40,000 miniatures game.

The models are packed with detail and all the partitions differ in fantastic ways, making each model an exciting build for anyone!

*This product will be on sale prior to release at Wonder Festival 2017 (Summer) taking place on the 30th July 2017.

They’re now available for the general Japanese public and cost around $6.50 US. It is unclear however if they are importable to the US or if Games Workshop intends on expanding on their availability to outer countries.

Warhammer Harajuku posted a couple pictures of their display, let’s take a look.

If those bases are 32mm like the current Tactical kit, do you think these marines are significantly taller and wider than their multi-part kit counterparts pictured below?

Is that a rocket leaving the barrel of the rocket launcher? We’re also seeing the blue plastic again, is Games Workshop doing away with their normal grey, or is this the case of the Vedros “starter push-fit” marines?

But what about the rest of the world? Are these going to be available anywhere else in the future? Be sure to check back in with us for the latest updates.
