Attention, commanders of the Legiones Astartes. Are loping Tartaros Terminators hitting your front lines faster than you can react? Do pesky Heavy Support Squads pepper your precious tanks with punishing lascannon fire? Can Seekers take out your critical characters before they act?
What you really need is a hefty dose of suppressing fire, and what better way to pin your foes than under the explosive rain of a Scorpius Missile Tank barrage?
Built on the ubiquitous Deimos Rhino chassis (seriously, what can’t that little tank do?) the Scorpius Missile Tank was designed at the request of none other than the close-combat hungry Space Wolves.
All of their huffing and puffing couldn’t blow down the fortified xenos bastion-cities they came up against in their earlier campaigns, but a massive missile launcher system was just the ticket to bring them tumbling down.
Their Barrage weaponry provides invaluable indirect fire against all sorts of targets – whether they are clad in ceramite or not.
The Rocket Barrage special rule gives these mobile ordnance platforms a reason to stay still and make the most of their 48” range. Salvos from stationary Scorpius Missile Launchers confer the Rending (4+) and Pinning special rules, resulting in a truly devastating combo.
This is an all-plastic new version of the classic Horus Heresy tank, and you will be able to add it to your collection soon. There will be another reveal for the Age of Darkness next week, so sign up for our newsletter and get it sent straight to your inbox.
