Combi-weapons and Astartes shotguns are the advanced firearms of choice for Space Marine veterans, and now you\u2019ll be able to equip scores of your troops with them thanks to a new upgrade set.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Favoured by experienced troops for their versatility, combi-weapons combine the reliability of a boltgun with the firepower of a specialised weapon like a plasma gun or flamer. This new Combi-weapons & Shotguns Upgrade Set comes with 10 each of the combi-flamer, combi-plasma, combi-melta, and combi-volkite variants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are also an additional two of each held in one hand so you can use them with the MkIII Breacher Squad kit<\/a> to create Veteran Breacher Squads as found in the Journal Tactica: Zone Mortalis<\/a> book.* Imagine how much devastation you\u2019ll cause shooting a combi-weapon through the firing slit of your boarding shield.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, you also get 10 Astartes shotguns for furious close range combat, plus another two one-handed versions. They\u2019re especially good for outfitting Reconnaissance Squads for infiltration duty, or units deployed to claustrophobic Zone Mortalis battlefields.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To top it all off, you also get 60 extra pouches, magazines, grenades, and other accessories to further personalise your veteran units. Just in case you\u2019ve lost count, that means the kit contains:<\/p>\n

Two single-handed combi-meltas<\/p>\n

Two single-handed combi-plasmas<\/p>\n

Two single-handed combi-volkites<\/p>\n

Two single-handed combi-flamers<\/p>\n

Two single-handed Astartes shotguns<\/p>\n

10 combi-meltas<\/p>\n

10 combi-plasmas<\/p>\n

10 combi-volkites<\/p>\n

10 combi-flamers<\/p>\n

10 Astartes shotguns<\/p>\n

60 accessories<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new upgrade set is compatible with the MkII<\/a>, MkIII<\/a>, MkIV<\/a>, and MkVI<\/a> Tactical Squads, and the MkIII Breacher Squad. We\u2019ll have more info about this upcoming pre-order soon!<\/p>\n
