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 annihilatedtheir 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 timea single Hellblaster Squad can blunt the thundering assault of an armoured spearheador 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 armourthey eschew the complex variations of wargear many of their battle-brothers carrypreferring instead to focus on and specialise in a single-armament specialism – plasma.
The models can be assembled as either a 10-man squada squad of 9 Hellblasters with a Sergeant or 2 separate 5-man squadseach with a Sergeant of their own. The whole squad can be armed with a host of plasma weaponry – there are 10 plasma incinerators includedwith the components required to turn any of them into an assault plasma incinerator or heavy plasma incineratordepending on your preference. The assault and heavy variants feature alternate muzzlesammunition 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 Sergeantand there are bionic arms includedheavily implying lost limbs in plasma accidents. There are also plenty of pistol holstersreliquariesgrenade sets and purity seals included.
The Hellblaster Squad come as 250 componentsand are supplied with 10 Citadel 32mm Round bases and a transfer sheet.
