The Imperium is an empire in whichtechnological advancement has cometo a resounding halt, and is viewed
with suspicion by the vast majority of thepopulation. The Space Marine Chaptersare in the honoured position of havingaccess to the most advanced vehicles andequipment the Imperium has to offer.
This isn’t just dogmatic tradition; noother force in the Imperium can break asiege with a precise charge of IroncladDreadnoughts, nor overrun a xenosbattleline so effectively with aformation of Land RaiderCrusaders. Space Marines havethe best vehicles because they arecalled upon for the mostdangerous missions.
This month the Space Marinearmoury has been expanded by the eagerlyawaited Land Speeder Storm and IroncladDreadnought. But that’s not all – nextmonth sees the release of a new SpaceMarine upgrade frame that gives you plentyof extra weapons and vehicle wargear foruse on your vehicles.
An Ultramarines Ironclad Dreadnoughtarmed with a seismic hammer.
New Bitz PackNext month, we’rereleasing the Land RaiderCrusader Upgrade Pack,a frame familiar to thosewho already own a LandRaider Redeemer orCrusader. It’s packed fullof options that you canuse on any of your SpaceMarine vehicles.
Vehicle UpgradesOne of the many modellingoptions on the forthcomingupgrade frame is a twin-linked assault cannon – idealfor kit-bashing a Razorback.
There are plenty of purityseals and scrolls on the framethat you can use todecorate the hullsof your tanks.
You can personalise your vehicle withthe addition of a Crux Terminatus andother characterful iconography.
It’s very simple to arm your Razorback with twin-linked assault cannons. Take the two assaultcannons from the Accesory frame and fit themunder the Razorback hood, before attaching it tothe assault cannon mount. This plugs into thenormal weapons mount on the Razorback roof.
The antenna array from the accessoryframe was glued onto the back of thetank, suggesting that it is the personaltransport of an Iron Hands hero.
This Ultramarines Razorback is adorned with all manner oflivery and extra bits of equipment. Forge World doors havebeen added, along with details from the Vehicle Commandframe as well as the new Land Raider Accessory frame.
