Andy Hall asks Mat Ward how the new codex restores Tactical squads to the army’s centre while expanding its specialist options. Combat Tactics, chapter heroes, Veterans, Drop Pods and revised equipment provide different routes through the same flexible list. Background on Guilliman and the Chapters connects these changes to their setting. Jes Goodwin then traces the miniatures’ design lineage from Rogue Trader armour through modern plastics and recognisable vehicles.

Drop Pods deliver Marines and Dreadnoughts directly to the battle’s critical point, sometimes in formations large enough to bring down an entire Chapter. Harnesses, retro-thrusters and guidance systems explain the model’s functional details, while examples show multiple chapter liveries. The text points to the Skyhammer formation for larger Apocalypse attacks and confirms that the new kit also suits non-Codex chapters such as Space Wolves and Black Templars.

The new Land Raider kit supplies two contrasting assault transports: the hurricane-bolter Crusader and flamestorm-armed Redeemer. Photographs and a numbered component guide show the shared chassis and the weapons and fittings that distinguish each version. Rather than a construction tutorial, the spread serves as a close view of the interchangeable plastic options accompanying the codex release and their imposing visual identity.
