The Space Marines of the Legiones Astartes embody the phrase “death from above” quite literally, deploying Legion Drop Pods with great haste, and getting from orbit to the battlefield loudly and quickly.
It’s not just Space Marines that ride these meteoric transport systems though; larger variants exist to launch hulking Dreadnoughts right to the action.
Dreadnought Drop Pods shuttle your Contemptors, Leviathans, and Deredeos right where you need them. They can carry one Dreadnought – snugly in the case of the bulky Leviathan – allowing them to deep strike ahead of your main force, and take advantage of the enemy’s weakest flank.
This kit also builds Legion Palisade Drop Pods. Rather than housing infantry or walkers, these contain powerful shield generators that project an energy forcefield, protecting accompanying drop pods and their contents from enemy fire.
Each box contains four Dreadnought Drop Pods, which can be constructed with their three doors to hinge open and shut.
Join us next week for another Legions Imperialis-sized Heresy Thursday.
