Sly Marbo is a natural born survivor, a veritable one-man army, a loner who sticks to the shadows. Few have seen his face and none have heard him speak. Marbo silently acknowledges orders with a slight nod before vanishing in search of the foe. Marbo kills with mechanical efficiency, striking and fading time and again and causing such phenomenal carnage that his enemies swear an entire army is attacking their forces.

This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble Sly Marbo, a legendary, highly decorated Imperial Guardsman. This is a model that oozes manliness, from the rippling muscles under his tank top to the cigar being chomped in his impressively-jawlined mouth. His outfit is minimal – no armour for this son of Catachan, it just gets in the way – with just combat boots, (tight) trousers and the aforementioned tank top along with a load of straps, pouches and explosives. He carries a rather distinctive ripper pistol, which fires hails of armour piercing rounds capable of taking down the largest of Orks, and a Catachan fang – this is ostensibly a knife, but honestly is more of a machete covered in deadly toxins.

Sly Marbo’s base features some excellent little details – he’s jabbing his Catachan fang into the head of a departed Ork, while a sinister carnivorous plant moves to press the plunger on some explosives behind him (not that a mere detonation would affect Sly Marbo too badly.)

This resin model comes as 8 components, and is supplied with a Citadel 32mm Round base. Rules for fielding Sly Marbo are included in the box.
