Legiones Astartes Land Raider
The Land Raider is regarded by many as the finest armoured fighting vehicle of its class in the Imperium’s arsenal; and is the mainstay battle tank of the Space Marine Legions. It is a phenomenally powerful war machine; its multi-layered composite armour and reinforced hull all but impervious to even heavy weapons; being a sealed unit designed to resist enemy attack from any approach. Intended to serve in almost any environment as both war machine and exploration vehicle; it can operate freely in war zones ranging from acid swamps to rad-deserts without any noticeable impediment to its performance; and can even operate in hard vacuum; ensuring there is no open battlefield on which its armoured wrath cannot be unleashed.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Land Raider Proteus; a mighty battlefield transport employed by the Legiones Astartes. This vehicle can be assembled as either a Proteus Carrier with a frontal assault ramp for delivering troops or a Proteus Explorator with a dozer blade for traversing broken terrain. Both variants sport two sets of sponson-mounted lascannons; and can be equipped with your choice of hull-mounted weapon – twin-linked heavy bolters; heavy flamers; or lascannons. The Proteus Explorator also offers an alternate frontal hull with sealed armour plating and a visor.
The kit also includes components to upgrade the Land Raider Proteus with a 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 hunter-killer missile; and a number of cosmetic options; such as towing hooks; sigils; and a choice of a Space Marine gunner; spotter; or closed hatch.
This kit comprises 159 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.
