Scorpion Missle Tank
Mobile artillery to provide Heavy Support to your Legiones Astartes armies
Unleash hell with a rocket barrage that can be fired over obstacles and squads
Upgrade your Scorpius with additional weapons and accessories
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.
