Deimos Pattern Vindicator

The Vindicator is a dedicated siege tank, deployed by the Legiones Astartes to breach enemy fortifications and destroy the heaviest enemy vehicles. Slow, ponderous, but heavily armoured, these tanks rumble into range before unleashing a devastating salvo of demolisher shells or piercing bursts of energy from a magna laser destroyer. Vindicators are especially useful in the confined terrain of cities or other enclosed battlefields, where they can smash buildings to broken ruins and forge a path through otherwise impassable obstacles.

This is the plastic kit version released for The Horus Heresy. Before this, there was a resin conversion kit from Forge World.

Dwarf Anvil of Doom

The Dwarf Anvil of Doom is one of the most ancient heirlooms of the Dwarf race. It is on these anvils that the greatest rune weapons have been forged. Each anvil is covered in runes that modern Runesmiths cannot begin to fathom. When striking runes on the anvil, each Runelord uses techniques taught to him by his master that were in turn taught by his master and so on back to the dawn of time. Because of this, no two anvils function in exactly the same way.

This is the model from Warhammer World and GamesDay 2005.

I think it’s interesting that at one time the model was based. Looking at the images, one of them shows the Runelord with his hammer above his shoulder (at Games Day 2005) and another behind his neck (in Warhammer World).

You can now buy the Anvil of Doom from Games Workshop.

Marneus Calgar of the Ultramarines’ Land Raider

Mankind boasts many heroes, men of purpose and dedication without whom the Imperium would crumble. Yet even among their ranks there is a man whose nobility overshadows all others. His triumphs are without number and his deeds the stuff of legend. His name is Marneus Calgar, Master of the Ultramarines and Lord of Macragge.

Marneus Augustus Calgar, Lord Macragge, is the current Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. This is his personal Land Raider.

Achilles Ridgerunner

The Achilles Ridgerunner is a versatile Imperial light exploratory vehicle. It’s a favorite among mining guild prospectors seeking new orae deposits and geological surveyors exploring Frontier Worlds. Known for its speed, range, and durability,the Ridgerunner has also proven to be a valuable asset for the outriders and scouts of the Genestealer Cults.

This Genestealer Cults Achilles Ridgerunner was in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

I do have an Achilles Ridgerunner on my workbench which I am using with my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

Deffkilla Wartrike

The Deffkilla Wartrike is one of the many different types of attack vehicles used by Orks across the known galaxy. What is lacks in armour, it makes up for in speed. Deadly scythes on the wheels can cause massive damage to all those who fail to get out of the way of this mean trike. Though the rokkit engine afterburner on the back means that they won’t have enough time to avoid the beast of a trike. The riders aren’t protected, but why worry, when you can just charge into the enemy forces.

I do quite like this model, but I don’t have one in my collection.

Rogal Dorn Battle Tank

The Rogal Dorn Battle Tank is larger than the standard Leman Russ battle tank. A huge tank that provides support for the infantry of the Imperial Guard.

Gargantuan Squiggoth

Gargantuan Squiggoths are monstrous creatures approximately the size of a small Imperial Titan. Their size is the result of their breeding using the special, high-quality feed formula of the Snakebites Clan. These giants are sometimes used as mounts by the most powerful of Ork Warbosses.

I’ve always liked this huge squiggoth. I have the smaller squiggoth, but never bought the big one. Back in 2005 I wrote:

I like the smaller version (which I have) but not sure about the bigger brother.

The gargantuan model is still available from Games Workshop, and is not cheap at £345, but that is a lot more than the £200 it was priced at when it came out.

Currently it is out of stock, and I suspect it might be retired soon, as happened with the other Forge World resin models.

Invading Lustria

Lustria, the land of the Lizardmen is invaded by the Empire of Men. Tilean or Estalian Conquistadors attack a Slann temple, trying to free a captive.

This beautiful diorama was part of the displays at Warhammer World and is quite old, from the 1990s I think.

Shokkjump Dragsta

The Shokkjump Dragsta combines two of the foremost triumphs of the Mekaniak’s art – recklessly fast speedsters and deranged weaponry. It is perhaps unsurprising that it has become one of the most popular forms of transport amongst the Mekboyz of the Kult of Speed.

Caladius Grav-Tank Annihilator

Based upon the technology of the Coronus Grav-carrier, the smaller Caladius grav-tank is designed to utilise the firepower afforded by the heaviest elements of the Legio Custodes’ arsenal on a highly mobile, protected platform. Given the fusion of advanced systems and weapons, the Caladius is perhaps the most powerful battleline armoured unit of its size in the Imperium’s forces, utilising technologies and materials derived not only from the Dark Age of Technology, but from developments made as a result of the Great Crusade’s two centuries of warfare.

A particularly powerful variant was the ‘Caladius-Annihilator’ which featured an enhanced capacitor-fed Arachnus blaze cannon potent that is enough to pose a threat even to super-heavy armour.

These Legio Custodes Caladius Grav-Tank Annihilators were part of the displays at Warhammer World.
