Amongst the most honoured of a Chapter are its Apothecaries. It is their role to to mind the physical well-being of their battle-brothers – this is seen most obviously on the battlefieldwhere an Apothecary serves as an emergency medic. Their most important dutythoughconcerns the dead; an Apothecary can harvest the progenoid organs from a fallen Space Marineensuring the creation of further warriors and the continuation of the Chapter.
This multi-part plastic kit contains the components necessary to assemble an Apothecary. Strikingly detailedclad as he is in Mk X power armourthis miniature features far more accoutrements and gadgets than the standard Primaris Space Marine – as befits his battlefield role. Strung around the chest plate are several canopic jarsbearing purity seals: these are filled with progenoid organs that have passed his scrutinyand will be used in the creation of further Primaris . In his right hand he clutches a freshly-hewn organ upon which his gaze is fixed; another canopic jar hangs from his armready. His left arm holds a nartheciumthe grisly instrument of his craftthough this can be replaced with an optional absolver pistol (often the last thing a fallen brother will see…)
Adding to the detail and options of this kit are a selection of lamps and surgical inspection lenseswith a chainsawinjector servo armdrill and stapler amongst the possible modelling options. As a macabre narrative extraa slain Space Marine is included with a huge incision made by the Apothecary’s nartheciumto be added to the base.
The Apothecary comes as 28 componentsand is supplied with a Citadel 40mm Round base. The kit also includes a Ultramarines-Character Transfer Sheetwhich features CaptainChaplainLibrarian and Lieutenant iconography.
