Robust and well suited for high-intensity operations, the Scorpius missile tank is favored by the Legiones Astartes as a source of maneuverable artillery support. Often referred to collectively as "Whirlwinds", tanks equipped with multiple missile systems are a vital part of any Legion's war machine, providing long-range covering fire and trench-breaking bombardments. Scorpius himself only saw service shortly before the Horus Heresy, created at the behest of the Space Wolves Legion in a campaign against fortified xenos stronghold cities, where his performance quickly saw him approved for widespread use.
This multi-part plastic kit builds a Legion Scorpius, a mobile artillery piece built on the Deimos pattern chassis. This tank's turret-mounted missile system is loaded with rotating racks of explosive rockets, ready to saturate entire areas of the battlefield with a whirlwind of shrapnel and flame. Its launchers can be assembled at a variety of angles, to suggest a devastating burst of direct fire or an arcing salvo of ammunition that will eliminate all but the heaviest infantry.
In addition to its smoke launchers and dual-link bolter, this kit includes components to upgrade the Scorpius Legion with an additional pivot-mounted weapon: a chaos launcher, heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multifusion, or a combination weapon with five configurations (bolter, flamethrower, fusion, plasma, or volkite), as well as a searchlight, dozer blade, hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options such as tow hooks, stealths, and the option of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or spotter . or closed hatch.
This kit consists of 125 plastic components and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes vehicle transfer sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus Legions and the Imperial Fists. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly. We recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Paints.
