On a recent visit to Warhammer World I picked up a Deathstrike kit. This is an online only model (and at the time of writing was out of stock online).
This Deathstrike is based on the Chimera APC hull and can either be built as a Deathstrike platform or as a Manticore multiple rocket platform. This was originally released back in 2010.
My plan is to paint this as a Tallarn Deathstrike to go with my Tallarn infantry.
The kit comes with two sprues, one for the hull and one with the specific components to convert the base Chimera chassis for the Deathstrike and the Deathstrike missile as well. As this kit can be built as a Manticore, there are additional components for that version as well.
The first stage of the process is the construction of the hull.
I left off the tracks to paint them separately, the same went for the missile. I then constructed the firing platform.
The missile was constructed separately.
The kit went together very easily. Though looking at the photographs I realised I left off the front hatch. So I fixed that.
In theory the firing platform can be raised, but I am not sure if that will survive the painting process.
Next step is priming and base coating.
