Can anyone identify exactly what pieces are on this sprue? I can't find a list anywhere. What I'm looking for specifically is the number of MkII and MkIV helms on the sprue, the number of MkV chests, the number of Tabard torsos and the number of CC/BP arms (the number of pairs, that is).

Also, I think they may have changed the regular Tactical Marine box since I last bought one a few years ago, even though it's probably just the Sergeant/Weapons sprue that's changed. But anyways, I don't suppose someone knows how many of the Studded Shoulder Pads there are in the box, as well as the number of MKV chests and the number of MKVII single skull chests (the ones WITHOUT the Imperial eagle).

I'm getting back into 40k after a few years off and I'm planning of some fairly large conversion work. There isn't really a hobby store nearby (correction, a hobby store I'm willing to spend money at), so I'll be ordering from the Warstore, and I didn't want to have to order a box, count the pieces myself, then order a whole bunch more (or, realize it would be too expensive to amass a bunch of Heresy Era armor by the box and have to order it from Battlewagon bitz, and still spend a bunch of money). So thank you if anyone could provide me with any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, the upgrade sprue has indeed changed, with more stuff added on, but the Marine sprues have also been redone, into 2 sprues each with half of 5 marines, rather than the individual marine sprues with seperate shoulder pad and backpack sprues like we had in 3rd edition

2 of each of those

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

Looks like just buying the BT Upgrade sprue is a better deal than bitzing it out for me. However, the Tactical box isn't going to work, so Battlewagon will get some of my money as well. Can't win 'em all. Thanks again.

Check out the BT Battleforce review on my website, which includes high-resolution sprue scans of BT Crusader sprues:

Nice! Excellent review stgm. Thanks for all of the great scans!

Thanks for the scans, seeing some of the details of the other pieces on the sprue is pretty helpful, now I can plan out what else on the sprue I can use. Just a shame only one MkIV head on there, I just might be ordering the Red Scorpions now.
