After previewing the final Codex of Warhammer 40,000's 10th Edition, you'd be forgiven for thinking there wouldn't be that much need for more new miniatures just now. However, following on from a leak over the weekend, Games Workshop revealed a brand new miniature for the Ultramarines' Marneus Calgar, plus a few more heroes of the Space Marines.

Marneus Calgar // Warhammer 40,000

Coming off the back of his appearance in Space Marine II, Marneus Calgar gets a miniature worthy of that epic scene. He is still clad in the Armour of Antilochus and weilds the Gauntlets of Ultramar that can spit death and destruction into Xenos and Chaos forces arrayed against him. This miniature does have echoes of the classic Calgar in his appearance but with a modernised design to match the current run of Space Marines for Warhammer 40,000.

I can already imagine that many people will be looking to replicate the epic entrance from Space Marine II in diorama form. He does look suitably epic, although I'm sure that a lot of other people would be hoping many other Space Marines heroes would make a return, other than Calgar. Still, I'm sure that Ultramarine fans are going to have some fun with this, especially with the addition of other heroes from the Chapter also popping up.

Big Back Banners!

As well as Marneus Calgar, we also have a champion of the Ultramarines in the form of Cato Sicarius.

Now appointed Captain of the Victrix Honour Guard, Cato Sicarius has been sculpted to mimic the look and feel of the classic miniature, while adding modern details. He holds an ornate helmet under one arm and weilds the Talassarian Tempest Blade, which he will be using to slay his foes.

He wears Mk X Tacticus Armour and features an excellent back banner! You also have access to two different heads for Cato Sicarius so you can show him commanding the troops or bellowing a battlecry as his Victrix Honour Guard charge into the fray.

Finally, we also have the Victrix Honour Guard that Sicarius will be commanding on the battlefield.

Made up of veterans of the First Company, the Victrix Honour Guard are deadly warriors and bodyguards. This set comes with options for interchanging their greaves, helmets and left arm options, wielding master-crafted bolt carbines. You can also build one miniature as a Chapter Champion and another as a Chapter Ancient, carrying the massive Banner of Macragge. As Games Workshop pointed out, this could well be the biggest banner in all of Warhammer.

So, if you want to show your love for the boys in blue, the most Space Marine of Space Marines, you'll soon have a chance to not only get Marneus Calgar but also his deadly bodyguard. More news on when these will be available will be coming later in the year but I would imagine we could see a full Space Marine Codex update or a new supplement to carry them through into 11th Edition.

Could you be tempted to craft yourself a new Ultramarines army?
