Paint a Space Marine at The Batcave

Head into The Batcave and paint your own Space Marine.

Step into the grimdark future of Warhammer 40K and bring your own Space Marine to life in the Batcave! Perfect for beginners and seasoned hobbyists alike.

A Space Marine is a superpowered soldier from the Warhammer 40K universe. They’re humans who have been enhanced with special armour, extra organs, and years of training to become nearly unstoppable warriors. They protect the galaxy from aliens, monsters, and other threats, and they’re one of the most iconic parts of Warhammer 40k.

All materials are provided, and guidance is available throughout.

Note: this activity will take at least 30 mins as there will be `waiting time` whilst paint dries.

Age 12+
