But it’s not the preference of most hobbyists. Resin is more rugged than polystyrene, which is great for the durability of your finished miniatures. One of the features of The Horus Heresy that always put me off was the materials used to create the bulk of its miniatures - resin. Polygon had a chance to check it out, and good news: It’s awesome. A decade later, a reboot for GW’s sub-franchise is on the way. That’s the concept behind The Horus Heresy, a game first released in 2012 and supported by more than 60 novels in the Black Library. That way some other poor sod can buy them, build them, paint them up, and send them to their death against your Space Marines.īut what if everyone at the table got to play as Space Marines? Well, then Games Workshop would be able to sell a lot more Space Marines, and the good people of the world would be able to buy more Space Marines, and so on, and so forth, feeding forever into the grim, dark capitalist ouroboros that keeps the polystyrene forges lit in Nottingham. So while they’re the most popular army, they need enemies like the Tyranids and the Eldar out there in the marketplace. The trouble is that, lore-wise, Space Marines aren’t the only brutally violent and expansionist species in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a Space Marine.
