Hello,

I'm looking for some alternative jump packs for my Palatine Blades squad.

I've thought about acquiring the Blood Angels Sanguinary MkIV jump packs from Ebay.
There's also these options from Puppets War and MaxMini:

I'm currently leaning towards the MaxMini jump packs (the Puppets War packs look good, but look like they would need some work to fit properly). Anybody know of any other jump pack options out there?

Thanks in advance,

Forgeworld does Heresy era packs in some of their kits. I don;t know if you can get them separately or not though.

I thought Chapterhouse used to do some too, but can't seem to find them.

Here are a couple of outliers that look maybe a bit flimsy for Marines, but YMMV

I'm looking for something that looks, well, pretty. They are the elite Emperor's Children, after all.
That's why I'm leaning towards the MaxMini one, as it has those little wings on it. The MkIV packs at least have a sleekness to them, but no ornate aspects (even the plastic BA ones).

The Red Scorpions jump packs are also tempting as they have the Imperial Eagle on them, but otherwise still look like the standard jump pack.

Would SoB ones work? maybe too small

I'd stick to the maxmini ones they look retro and very aesthetically pleasing.
