Rugged and well-suited to high-intensity operations, the Scorpius missile
tank is favoured across the Legiones Astartes as a source of manoeuvrable
artillery support. Often collectively referred to as 'Whirlwinds’, tanks
mounted with multi-missile launcher systems are a vital part of any Legion’s
war machine, providing long-range covering fire and trench-breaking barrages.
The Scorpius itself only entered service shortly before the Horus Heresy,
created at the behest of the Space Wolves Legion in a campaign against
fortified xenos bastion-cities – where its performance quickly saw it approved
for widespread use.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Legion
Scorpius, a mobile artillery piece built on the Deimos-pattern chassis. This
tank’s turret-mounted missile system is loaded with rotary racks of explosive
rockets, ready to saturate whole battlefield zones with a whirlwind of shrapnel
and flames. Its launchers can be assembled at a variety of angles, to suggest
a devastating volley of direct fire or an arcing salvo of munitions that will
wipe out all but the heaviest infantry.
In addition to its twin-linked
bolter and smoke launchers, this kit includes components to upgrade the Legion
Scorpius with an extra pintle-mounted weapon – a havoc launcher, heavy bolter,
heavy flamer, multi-melta, or a combi-weapon with five configurations (bolter,
flamer, melta, plasma, or volkite) – as well as a searchlight, a dozer blade, a
hunter-killer missile, and cosmetic options like towing hooks, sigils, and a
choice of a Space Marine gunner, spotter, or closed hatch.
This kit
comprises 125 plastic components, and is supplied with a Legiones Astartes
Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons
of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and
requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel
paints.
