Warhammer 40K: Wolfspear Terminator Runepriest from Leviathan Box

Hiya

We received the new Leviathan box for review, and we love it!!

The Terminator Librarian was a great model, but I needed to make him more Wolfspear-esque with some pelts and a nice Beard.

I have not had much luck with him so far though. Everytime I do a Focused Witchfire attack I give my Runepriest a 3 Damage Migraine by rolling a 1 for hazardous.

The armour really lends itself to a Runepriest vibe.

I really enjoyed the new Grimdark style I have been employing for this Army. Was quite difficult getting a bloody and glowy effect on the Force Axe.

Warhammer 40K: Tyranids from the new Leviathan Boxed game review

 Hi all

Games Workshop sent us through the new Leviathan boxed game for review. The best thing about this is, my Step son Arlo (7) is collecting Hive Fleet Leviathan, so he was keen to add these to his collection.

I am certain every fan of Tyranids out there will be excited for this new Box, as the content (apart from Termagants and Winged Tyranid Prime) are new units for their collection.

The box does give you a huge selection for any new player too to build a decent sized swarm.

VON RYAN LEAPER

These are my favourite unit from the new edition on  the Tyranids side. They are very survivable with their Stealth (-1 to hit) and Toughness of 5.

They rock the Infiltrator special rule too which is quality!

Those from back in the day, may notic some similarities between these and the old Metal Hormagaunts which is just cool.

NEW TERMAGANT SCULPTS

The Fleshborer is dead. Long live the Fleshborer!

The new rules for Fleshborers in 10th edition are great. So they are all packing a S5, so wound easily against most Space Marine Targets, but lack AP which is not too much of a problem with Large masses or model high squads.

They have a fantastic rule, whereby if you get too close they can displace away, which really adds to how I feel they should play.

WINGED TYRANID PRIME

This chap I feel is the most vulnerable in the new box, as his special rules makes him un supported unfortunately. It would be a great time for Games Workshop to release some Shrikes in Plastic, as he is in desperate need of a Bodyguard.

For now I feel he will just be lurking. . . .

NEUROTYRANT

This guy is a very impressive unit in 10th Edition!

He has a fantastic Psychic Torrent attack, which has wiped numerous marines off the board for me so far (packing a damage of 2).

His Little Neuroloid helpers are excellent models (markers) to which can be attached to other units for a nice little boon. They bestow a unit within 12" as being within Synapse Range rule.

SCREAMER KILLER

Ever since the 90s where Ragnar Blackmane killed one of these in a narrative in a White Dwarf, I have loved them. So happy to see them back.

The Bio Plasma is not the best ranged attack, but it gives him something to do as he rushes forwards.

You Don't really want to get into Hand to hand with him. I ahve seen my Ballistus destroyed a few times from this beast now!!

. . . .and my Wolfspear Jarl.

Warhammer 40K: Wolfspear Sternguard Veterans from new Leviathan Box

 Hi all

So we have had a look at the New Sternguard Veterans in the Leviathan Box. Thanks to Games Workshop for sending us a review copy. :)

The unit itself seem relatively survivable, but I have yet to see them cause a serious amount of damage.

They have seen some Epic Battles already!

Personally, I would choose an Infernus Squad over these any day of the week now.

They look great, but do not have a massive hitting power like the Terminators or the Infernus Squad. 

The Heavy Bolter with Sustained hits 1 seems to be the most effective of the weapons they are equipped with, though the Combi Weapons seem to be quite good at dealing with most Infantry targets.

I was quite pleased with how I painted this squad, and made a fair few Mods to get them looking Wolfspear-esque.

I am hoping I will get some more time with this unit these coming weeks. I have been running them with a Chapter Ancient, as it adds something to the squad in my opinion.

Warhammer 40K: Wolfspear Infernus Marines from New Leviathan Box

 Hi all

So we have had a fair few games with the new Leviathan Boxed game and thought we would look at the main core unit from the Space Marines in the box. That's right, the Infernus Squad.

So the only time I have run a pure flamer squad prior to this (apart from Tzeentch) is in Horus Heresy. I have painted them to go with my 40K Wolfspear Space Marine army which I am now working on :)

It is a very strong unit in the game (especially as a Vanguard unit). 

Having Flamers (torrent rule in 10th ed) is brilliant, especially for Overwatch. Many opponents will try to bring these chaps down early, mainly because of their high strength. Try to get them forward as quick as you can, but save a CP for an overwatch.

Their S5 Pyreblasters will make a pyre of most enemies, especially the high toughness Tyranids (Especially the assault ones).

To me, 10th edition Core Space Marines start and end with the Infernus Squad.
