Ultramarines: Ferren Areios

Ferren Areios stepped out of the Dawn of Fire novels and onto the tabletop, and he is every bit the hero the fluff promises — Captain of the Ultramarines 6th Company, Master of Rites, and the man swinging a thunder hammer named Honour. Clad in ornate Mk X Tacticus armour and posed on a sculpted scenic base, he is a powerhouse in-game and a genuinely fun painting challenge on the shelf.

What's in the box

• 1 multipart plastic Ferren Areios
• 18 plastic components, including a sculpted scenic base
• Thunder hammer 'Honour' and Mk X Tacticus armour
• Choice of two heads — bare or helmeted

Why you'll want him

• A characterful HQ with free rules on Warhammer Community
• Servo-skull, iron halo and Chapter detailing to reward careful brushwork

He makes a cracking centrepiece for a 6th Company force, or a lieutenant to answer to Guilliman himself.

Supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue and paints sold separately — grab the Ultramarines Essential Paints set and stand him beside Roboute Guilliman.
