Hi there,
This week we have some new vehicles rolling out for pre-order; the Whirlwind Scorpius and the Javelin Attack Speeder, which is available in two weapons variants. Relics of the dark age of the Horus Heresy, examples of these revered war machines still remain in the armouries of the Space Marines of the 41st Millennium. We also have a new Mechanicum Thallax Cohort bundle.
Deimos Whirlwind Scorpius
An ancient variant of the more common Whirlwind missile tank, the Scorpius was designed with a single purpose in mind – the destruction of heavily armoured infantry. The Scorpius variant replaces the Whirlwind’s multiple missile launcher system with the intricate drum-fed scorpius launcher, whose implosive warheads are devastating to armoured infantry and light vehicles. The Whirlwind Scorpius’ origins lie in the dark days of the Horus Heresy and, in more recent times, it has become an all but forgotten relic amongst some Chapters as the ability to manufacture its complex munitions has become a lost art, but for other Chapters it still remains a potent weapon of war.
The Whirlwind Scorpius, designed by Israel Gonzalez, is a complete multi-part resin and plastic kit that is available to pre-order now for despatch from Friday 26th July.
Rules for this vehicle will be found in our forthcoming Horus Heresy book. In addition, experimental rules for its use before this book's publication and in your games of Warhammer 40,000 are presented here.
Javelin Attack Speeder
Larger and more heavily armoured than the common pattern of Land Speeder, the Javelin Attack Speeder is a nigh-irreplaceable relic of a bygone age of technological mastery. Gravitic nullification plates, the secret of whose production and maintenance have long since been lost, enable the Javelin to mount an array of heavy weaponry, allowing them to make pinpoint strikes on enemy armour or infantry with devastating lascannon or missile barrage. Those Chapters of Space Marines whose histories stretch back into the grim days of the Imperium’s founding may, if they are fortunate, still possess a few justly revered Javelins within the sanctified depths of their armouries.
Rules for this vehicle will be found in our forthcoming Horus Heresy book. In addition, experimental rules for its use before this book's publication and in your games of Warhammer 40,000 are presented here.
