Taurox Prime

When the Militarum Tempestu need to transport their soldiers into the heart of battle, they use the Taurox Prime. It is a well armed and armoured infantry assault vehicle. It is usually armed with an array of heavy weapons. It is the ideal support vehicle for the Militarum Tempestus on the battlefield.

The Forge World Ork Shanty Town diorama was changed to have the Militarum Tempestu driving in to the town in their Taurox Prime armoured vehicles to rescue a downed Valkyrie flyer.

More photographs of the Shanty Town.

When the Taurox was released back in 2014, I said back then.

The Taurox Prime is a new model from Games Workshop, and I really don’t like it. I think it’s too tall and the tracked “wheels” fail to work for me.

I wasn’t alone in that though as the comments show in that post.

Bullgryns

Bullgryns are recruited from most obstinate of the Ogryn strain of abhumans, clad in heavy armour and armed with rugged assault weaponry built to withstand their unwieldy strength. A line of these heavily-muscled humanoids is a frightening sight, advancing in shield-lines from which shots bounce harmlessly, issuing thunderous blows with heavy mauls and lobbing explosives as they charge.

Solar Auxilia Medusa

The Solar Auxilia’s Medusa artillery tanks are behemoths of destruction, their Leman Russ hulls cloaked in heavy armor. Their devastating guns, protected from enemy fire and hazardous environments, can reduce enemy fortifications to rubble. These mobile fortresses, capable of shattering mighty walls, advance alongside the Auxilia cohorts, softening enemy defenses and paving the way for the main assault.

Macharius Omega

The Macharius Heavy Tank is used by the Imperial Guard. As with many Imperial armoured vehicles, there are various variants of the Macharius. The Macharius Omega is one such variant, it is armed with the Omega Pattern Plasma Blastgun.

The Omega Pattern Plasma Blastgun is a derivative of the Ryza Pattern Blastgun, optimised for reduced weight and size. This is achieved through the implementation of a compact generator and a smaller force crucible, allowing for integration into lighter platforms such as the Macharius.

The Ryza Pattern Blastgun is commonly deployed on the Stormblade super-heavy tank.

Imperialis Militia Carnodon Battle Tank

The Imperialis Militia Carnodon Battle Tank is medium battle tank which was one of the main armoured vehicles used by the Imperial Army during the Great Crusade.

As it was replaced by other vehicles a great many Carnodon Battle Tanks were placed in the strategic reserve. They were often used by planetary militia.

This is the Forge World model in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

Solar Auxilia Leman Russ

The Solar Auxilia use the Leman Russ Strike Tanks in various roles. The tanks have been upgraded with solar-pattern survival systems, this allows the tank and the crew to fight in any harsh conditions on different planets.

It is usually armed with one of four primary weapons – a battlecannon, twinned heavy lascannons or autocannons, or a long-barrelled Vanquisher battlecannon with a co-axial autocannon.

Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher

The Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher is based on the Crassus super-heavy hull, and is armed with a long-range multiple missile launcher.

Crassus Armoured Assault Transport

This beautifully painted Forge World Crassus Armoured Assault Transport was on display at Warhammer World.

This immense armoured carrier is named after one of Lord Solar Macharius’ greatest generals, Borgen Crassus, who remained steadfastly loyal to the Imperium throughout the grim and bloody Macharian Heresy that followed the Lord Solar’s death. The vehicle can be retrofitted with additional weapons to undertake other battlefield roles as required.

Legion Thunderhawk Gunship

This Blood Angels Legion Thunderhawk Gunship was in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

The Legion Thunderhawk Gunship, used during the Horus Heresy, is a formidable aerial weapon platform, a testament to the Imperium’s technological prowess during the Great Crusade era.

This massive gunship, larger than a Space Marine Rhino transport, is equipped with a formidable array of weaponry, including twin-linked heavy bolters, a powerful autocannon, and a devastating missile launcher.

Its hull is reinforced with ceramite plating, providing exceptional protection against enemy fire. Inside the Thunderhawk, a crew of skilled Space Marines operates the various systems, while a troop compartment can accommodate a squad of Astartes.

The gunship’s engines, capable of reaching incredible speeds, allow it to rapidly deploy troops and provide crucial fire support during battles.

The Thunderhawk’s versatility and firepower made it an invaluable asset to the Legions during the Great Crusade, and its legacy endures even after the Horus Heresy.

Arquitor Bombard With Spicula Rocket System

This Imperial Fists Arquitor Bombard with Spicula Rocket System was in the displays at Warhammer World.

The Legion Arquitor is a heavy artillery platform designed to operate at the forefront of a Legiones Astartes advance. Equipped with a reinforced chassis and brutal short range firepower, it is called upon to break the most stubborn of fortifications or to annihilate massed enemy infantry and armour.

The spicula rocket system fires rippling salvos of unguided missiles that crash down on enemy positions, creating massive cumulative blasts that can scatter whole formations.
