Imperial Navy Breachers are the elite fighting troops of the Imperium's many naval assets, from orbital stations to mighty battleships – aggressive blunt instruments instructed extensively in close-quarter fighting techniques. Well-equipped and experienced in hazardous boarding actions, these squads are clad in fully-enclosed void armour, with mag-boots and rebreathers for zero gravity operatioons, and given access to specialised equipment designed for cracking enemy bulkheads.
This multipart plastic kit builds a squad of 10 Imperial Navy Breachers accompanied by two robotic supporters – the scanning C.A.T. Unit and explosive Gheistskull. These miniatures can be used as Imperial Navy Breacher operatives in games of Kill Team, or fielded with any Imperium army in games of Warhammer 40,000. These hardy troops are armed with short-range boarding weaponry, including hatchets and powerful shotguns. The kit includes loads of interchangeable heads and accessories to customise your kill team, plus components to build specialists like the skilled Void-jammer, bulky Grenadier, shield-toting Endurant, and more.
This set comprises 153 plastic components, and is supplied with 10x Citadel 25mm Round Bases and 2x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):
1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.
2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
