Huron Blackheart: A Force to Be Reckoned With
Huron Blackheart, the formidable Chaos Lord, is not one to stay behind. He's taking the battlefield by storm with a brand new miniature, accompanied by an exceptional command squad. Garreon the Corpsemaster, Katar Garrix, Garlon Souleater, Captain Sargotta, and the Enforcer with her Barghesi pup Plunder form an elite unit, ready to lead the Red Corsairs into battle.
This multi-part plastic set offers two distinct units: Huron himself, a solo warrior who can join various units, and the command squad, a specialized force that works best when combined with other troops. It's a deadly combination, especially when leading a Red Corsairs army into close combat.
Battleforce: Lords of the Maelstrom
Huron's wild warband of renegade Space Marines is not alone in their plunge into the void. The 'Battleforce: Lords of the Maelstrom' box brings an expansive set of new models. It includes 10 Red Corsairs Raiders, an elite infantry with diverse weapons and armor, and a new multi-part Reave-Captain. Additionally, there are 10 Chaos Space Marines Legionaries, 5 Chaos Terminators, 10 Traitor Guardsmen, and a Red Corsairs upgrades set, providing plenty of sculpted shoulder pads and accessories.

Battleforce: Eldritch Raiders - Aeldari Threat
The Maelstrom is not just a playground for Chaos forces.

Yriel's fleet includes a new miniature of himself and a raiding force of unique Aeldari units, such as the Void Dreamer Kharseth and the graceful Corsair Skyreavers with winged jump packs. The Starfang can even be built as a Vyper, adding versatility to the fleet.
