Warhammer 40K.

Space Marines: Primaris Hellblasters

Imperial observers have likened the fire of a Hellblaster Squad to the
incinerating power of a stellar flare. Bolt after bolt of plasma sears
across the battlefield; those caught in the Hellblasters’ sights are
swiftly annihilated, their armour blasted to ash and their flesh and
bone to glowing motes. Even armoured fighting vehicles are swiftly
reduced to heaps of metallic slag. Deployed at the correct point and
time, a single Hellblaster Squad can blunt the thundering assault of an
armoured spearhead, or lay low even the most titanic alien fiend.

This
multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble a
set of 10 Primaris Hellblasters. Clad in Mk X Tacticus power armour,
they eschew the complex variations of wargear many of their
battle-brothers carry, preferring instead to focus on and specialise in a
single-armament specialism – plasma.

The models can be assembled
as either a 10-man squad, a squad of 9 Hellblasters with a Sergeant or 2
separate 5-man squads, each with a Sergeant of their own. The whole
squad can be armed with a host of plasma weaponry – there are 10 plasma
incinerators included, with the components required to turn any of them
into an assault plasma incinerator or heavy plasma incinerator,
depending on your preference. The assault and heavy variants feature
alternate muzzles, ammunition flasks and different cabling attaching the
weapon to the Hellblasters’ backpack. There are 4 incinerators which
are being carried rather than aimed; you have the option to arm 4
Hellblasters with plasma pistols in the other hand.

A problem
(some call it a bonus…) of plasma weaponry is its tendency to overheat;
there are several optional components reflecting this. Bare head options
featuring nasty burns are included for the Sergeant, and there are
bionic arms included, heavily implying lost limbs in plasma accidents.
There are also plenty of pistol holsters, reliquaries, grenade sets and
purity seals included.

The Primaris Hellblasters come as 250 components, and are supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases and a transfer sheet.
