This Forge World Red Scorpions Razorback was on display at Warhammer World.
This Forge World Red Scorpions Land Raider was on display at Warhammer World.
The Red Scorpions came from Forge World. They could play around with the chapter, without it impacting on the mainstream chapters.
One of the reveals at the World Championships Preview back in November was a plastic Arvus Lighter for The Horus Heresy.
This week we found out that it goes on pre-order on the 18th January.
I said in my previous post when the model was announced.
I really like this model and I will probably get this when it is released.
Though released for The Horus Heresy, I suspect it would also make a great model for, not just Warhammer 40K, but also Necromunda.
The Skorpius Disintegrator of the Adeptus Mechanicus drifts gracefully across the dunes, its anti-grav motors thrumming quietly in stark contrast to its thundering guns. As it accompanies the advancing Skitarii phalanxes, the Skorpius Disintegrator delivers punishing salvoes from its ferrumite or belleros energy cannons, while its cognis heavy stubbers and disruptor missile launcher spit death at any who would threaten the armoured vessel.
Owing its origin to the lost knowledge of millennia, the Onager Dunecrawler is based on the Mars Universal Land Engine; itself inspired by the bad-tempered beasts of burden that transported their masters across Holy Terra in ancient times. The Onager Dunecrawler, rather than being a mere people-carrier, is absolutely brimming with advanced, powerful weaponry capable of reducing worlds to wastelands.
The Repulsor armoured transport is a deadly combination of manoeuvrability and raw brute force.
This is an Inquisitorial Repulsor on display at Warhammer World.
These Archaeopter Transvector models were on display at Warhammer World.
A workhorse not only of the toxic Martian skies, but of distant worlds at the forefront of the Tech-Priests’ expansion for millennia, the Archaeopter is an agile fixed-wing aircraft.
Piloted by a member of the Pteraxii caste, whose legs and scapuli superior are hardwired into its controls, the nano-carbon fibre-weave of the Archaeopter’s wings is capable of morphing – a property it shares with the Pteraxii flight packs.
This affords great manoeuvrability and enables it to operate within changing pressures as it undertakes explorator duties as well as delivering teams of lethal operatives behind enemy lines or into the heart of battle.
This Xiphon Pattern Interceptor flown by the Ultramarines was on display at Warhammer World.
With unparalleled speed and manoeuvrability, the Xiphon pattern Interceptor saw increasing service in the Legiones Astartes during the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Based on ancient designs, the void and atmospheric craft carried heavy armaments into battle, allowing it to destroy both air and ground targets with apparent ease. Its pair of twin-linked lascannon and Xiphon rotary missile launcher combined with the Interceptor’s speed and agility to make it a deadly opponent from which the enemies of Mankind could not hide.
This was a Red Scorpions Xiphon Pattern Interceptor.
These Adeptus Mechanicus Skorpius Dunerider models were on display at Warhammer World.
The Skorpius Dunerider serves as a Skitarii transport vessel enabling the loyal servants of the Machine God to engage or pursue the enemy with ever greater speed and efficiency. As the Skitarii disembark to bring the fury of the Omnissiah to their enemies, the Dunerider’s twin cognis heavy stubbers offer a high rate of covering fire. Within its open cargo hold, the gunners tasked with firing the vehicle’s flanking pair of cognis heavy stubbers stand at their stations with hands on triggers. A turret-mounted pair of cognis heavy stubbers rises is mounted on a rear cupola, its Servitor gunner protected from return fire by an armoured shield mounted between the barrels.
This Death Korps of Krieg Centaur Artillery Tractor was part of a diorama at Warhammer World.
The Centaur Artillery Tractor is one of many Centaur variants, designed to manoeuvre and deploy light artillery in the field.
The Imperial Guard field a range of human-portable weapons. Crewed by ordnance teams they provide a range of choices for the Astra Militarum in supporting combined arms assault with infantry and tanks. They use bombast field guns, malleus rocket launchers and heavy lascannons.
