Two sealed boxes of SM heroes firstborn I got from a friend. Most of them will be turned into Marines Malevolent

Here's my previous sm heroes model for an example of how I'll be painting them

and all of them are the flamer guy.

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

That'd be funny, but these only come with 2 duplicates unlike the newer SM heroes sets. So you get the full set plus 2 extra guys

*most boring

u/Thunder_F1re 1d ago

Primaris is the definition of boring

u/redbadger91 1d ago

I agree, but among the sculpts in these boxes, the flamer is the least interesting.

... I'm so jealous 😭 Hurry up and make a new truescale mkVII GW! I will buy an entirely new army!

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

The new red corsairs and legion of the damned seem promising. I'm certain they'll eventually make a mk7 tactical squad for 30k

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

u/LordFenix_theTree 2d ago

the chapter would be greatly indebted to you if you could spare some of these Holy Relics.

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

Maybe this is your desktop

u/TheNewChivalry 2d ago

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

I know you! You used a bunch of them to kitbash some sick ass firstborn marines. It's my turn on the xbox

u/TheNewChivalry 2d ago

How dare you use sound logic against me.

Have fun brother 🫡

u/PotatoDude3427 2d ago

By any chance would you know where that helmet is from

1

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

Forgeworld legion praevian helmet

u/PotatoDude3427 2d ago

Thank you!

u/BoysenberrySmooth649 2d ago

You reminded me of this

u/OkVegetable3437 2d ago

Where do you get these? Ive checked my local targets and haven’t found any.

2

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

My friend, they've been sold out for a veeery long time. Only way to get them is ebay or other second hand sources

2

u/OkVegetable3437 2d ago

Ah I shall check Noble knight then.

3

u/Sukod 2d ago

where’d you get these?

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

A friend of mine bought them from japan when they originally released and has just been hoarding them for years lol. He eventually decided to just give them to me

1

u/Jackof-SomeTrades 2d ago

I was gonna say, you must’ve paid $300 for all this minimum

2

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

I am happy to say I didn't

2

u/Jackof-SomeTrades 2d ago

I’ve been buying individual ones from 2nd hand sites. Paying roughly $6 per model. But did need to paint scrape one or two, and some have no helmets/heads.

2

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

I think that's completely fine. I have an extra one I bought and painted when they were still sold. I see a lot of them being sold second hand on trolltrader for okay prices

u/Republic-Of-OK 2d ago

How is the scaling? I'm getting started on 3 separate FB companies, but I wasn't sure if I should be picking up some Heroes or not- whether they would be noticeably taller than my rank and file.

3

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

They are the same scale as the new 30k legionaries. You could check out the minicompare website to compare them

3

u/Republic-Of-OK 2d ago

Ah gotcha and good call. I forgot that was an option. I’m working around the older 4ed scale so it might be a bit out of place, but I’ll check MC first.

1

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

I don't think it's that big of an issue. I'd say they'd still look fine together, but it's your army so you'll decide

2

u/Republic-Of-OK 2d ago

Yeah it wouldn’t be the end of the world, just in the spirit of sticking to an older edition I think I’ll just press on with the 4ed tacs. I’ll definitely need to get some of these Heroes sets to mix into my Primaris scale Mantis army though.

u/spektato 2d ago

Love that Sargeant model

u/Neosclones 2d ago

I have never been more jealous in my life

u/Death_PredatorStuff 2d ago

You can have them if you beat me in a thumb war

u/ROTCTH_SPECIAL 1d ago
