Hellooo Chaos possums! A great many things to cover in this issue, so let's go to it!

From the Imperial Guard training camps come samples of two Imperial Guard regiments, the Mordian Iron Guard and the Tallarn Guards Regiment. Both have a very 19th century colonial era feel to them, making me suspect that the Perry Twins were watching "The Wind and the Lion" prior to sculpting these fierce chaps!

The Mordian Iron Guard are attired in a smart dress uniform with gaiters and epaulettes, while the Tallarn Desert Warriors look like Lawrence of Arabia meets Aliens (Arraabs In Spaaace!). A must for any Imperial Guard Enthusiast (like Yours Truly...)

More recently some new Space Marine figures arrived. Ultramarine boss Marneus Calgar, two Marine librarians and a Tech Marine round out this issue's Games Workshop releases. The Marneus figure is magnificent, a Marine's Marine with twin power fists, massive shoulder pads and incredible detail. The librarians are equipped with force axe and force rod, psychic hood and other paraphenalia of their profession: horned skulls, spell books and purity seals. The Tech Marine is well detailed to the point of becoming a challenge to paint and carries a power axe as well as his special backpack with built in servo arm.
