Warhammer 40.000 - Red Corsairs Battleforce: Lords of the Maelstrom

The Red Corsairs are the undeniable masters of the Maelstrom, and they are rightly feared by all who tread too close to this benighted area of the galaxy. Striking out in raiding parties composed of elite Chaos Space Marines and scores of traitor guardsmen, they pillage what and where they want to scavenge material and grow their infernal empire.

This packed box is ideal for starting a new Red Corsairs-themed Chaos Space Marines collection – or expanding an existing army – to unleash in games of Warhammer 40,000, and it saves money compared to buying the kits separately. This savage force is led by a Red Corsairs Reave-Captain, a merciless warrior who rules with an iron fist. At his side are Red Corsairs Raiders, renegade Space Marines who have broken their vows to follow the Tyrant of Badab. Veteran Legionaries and Chaos Terminators are also counted among Huron Blackheart's followers, their long years of combat experience further bolstering the Red Corsairs. Traitor Guardsmen are adept at holding objectives or throwing themselves at weakened enemies. When taken together, they are a vicious and terrifying force, ideal for representing a Renegade Warband Detachment – the rules for which are found in The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant – Detachments booklet, available separately.
