Lifting the lid

Saturnine is absolutely massive, bursting at the seams with everything you need to jump right into collecting and battling in the Age of Darkness. It’s the complete package, and the perfect set-up for newcomers and veterans alike.

Inside the box you’ll find:

• 50 plastic Citadel miniatures

• A 352-page Age of Darkness hardback rulebook 

• A construction guide/first game guide

• Four reference sheets

• Three weapon templates (large blast, small blast and everyone’s favourite – the flamer template)

• 21 dice (20 regular ordinary D6s and one scatter dice)

• A range ruler

• 40 tactical status and objective tokens 

• A truly impressive transfer sheet comprising 1,172 decals

The miniatures

There are enough miniatures in the box to fight your first battles in the Age of Darkness – but you may well want to combine them all into one larger force. Here’s what you get:

Legionaries in MkII Power Armour

Centurion in MkII Power Armour

Araknae Quad Accelerator Platform

Saturnine Terminators

There are six Saturnine Terminators in the Saturnine box set, including variant heads and optional weapons (plasma bombards, heavy disintegrators, and disruption fists). These are unquestionably some of the deadliest warriors available to the Legiones Astartes.

This behemoth is a high-ranking Space Marine officer, clad in his own suit of experimental Saturnine Terminator armour. It’s one of the most formidable units available to the Space Marine Legions and really puts him on a level above almost anything he’s likely to encounter on the battlefield. 

The kit has options: he can carry a choice of either a concussion hammer or Saturnine war axe. He also has a plasma blaster, and four head options, two belt options, two different flat-heads for the hammer, chest details and pauldrons.  

Saturnine Dreadnought

An extension of the technology used to make suits of Saturnine Terminator armour, this hulking Dreadnought is taller and more powerful than even a Leviathan Siege Dreadnought. To pilot these preeminent war machines requires a Space Marine of singular discipline, even more so than other Dreadnought chassis, but the result is devastating: battle armour protected by thermal diffraction fields and boasting power-hungry weapons such as a disintegrator cannon, heavy plasma bombard or photonic incinerators.

Dice, Objective Markers, Measurers, and more

Saturnine is brimming over with useful gubbins to help you play, including 21 six-sided dice, a measuring stick, weapon templates, 40 plastic markers for Objectives and Tactical Status, reference sheets and an introductory booklet to get you started with your first games. 

And that is a very brief introduction to everything you’ll find in Saturnine! Over the next few weeks we’ll be lifting the lid again to show you everything you need to know, with articles covering the revised rules for this new edition, the lore behind the new units, more detail on the models (and how to paint them) and much, much more.
