Review: The Crux Terminatus Battleforce & Ultramarines Reinforcements


Battleforce: Crux Terminatus


 

The toughest wall of ceramite ever assembled.
This set is entirely composed of Terminator-armoured veterans — the ultimate elite strike force for any Space Marine player.

Contents:

  • 10x Assault Terminators

    • Build as either:

      • Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield units

      • Dual Lightning Claw units

  • 1x Terminator Ancient – complete with a massive Chapter banner.

  • 1x Terminator Captain – the perfect leader for your elite.

  • 1x Terminator Chaplain – bringing the Emperor’s wrath and a crozius to match.

  • 5x Standard Terminators – classic heavy infantry for ranged support.

  • 1x Terminator Transfer Sheet – 579 individual decals!

Highlights:

  • First box to include the new Assault Terminators kit.

  • Everything needed for a playable 1,000-point elite detachment.

  • Perfect for veteran collectors or newcomers who love the look of the most elite Space Marines.

⚠️ Availability Warning:
We suspect supply will be very limited across all retailers — if you want one, act fast.

 Marneus Calgar – Armour of Antilochus


 

The Chapter Master of the Ultramarines returns to the field in his relic Terminator armour.

  • Wields the Gauntlets of Ultramar.

  • In a bit a surprise turn, Calgar will be able to lead most units regardless of not sharing an armor type with them. A rather unusual move based on the precedent set this edition.

  • A centerpiece model for any Ultramarines force.

Cato Sicarius & the Victrix Guard


 

Cato Sicarius takes command of the Victrix Guard, sworn protectors of Ultramar’s heroes.

Kit Features:

  • 2x head options (shouting or composed).

  • Wields the Talassarian Tempest Blade with three distinct fighting stances.

  • Builds 3x Victrix Honour Guard per kit.

    • Chapter Champion (dual blades of honour)

    • Chapter Ancient (Banner of Macragge)

  • Combine two kits for a full 6-man squad.

 Da Red Gobbo’s Tinboy


 

Da Red Gobbo returns for another round of explosive cheer!

  • Rides a clanking Tinboy mech that looks suspiciously like a Vostroyan.

  • Perfect collector’s piece — available while stocks last only.

Black Library Highlights

  • The Relentless Dead – Death Korps horror by Steve Lyons.

  • Da Red Gobbo’s Last Stand – orky hijinks by Andi Ewington.

Final Verdict

The Crux Terminatus Battleforce is the box for Terminator lovers — a pure elite army in one purchase with enormous value and all-new sculpts. Coupled with new Ultramarines heroes and holiday fun from Da Red Gobbo, this is a pre-order wave that has something for just about everyone.

🚨 Note: Expect very limited supply on the Crux Terminatus box across the entire supply chain.
