So I went ahead and ordered one of these bad boys from Forge World, because of it’s new rules in Imperial Armor Apocalypse Second Edition making it legal for 40k.
And because it’s now “40k Legal” I’m adding it to my Mechanicus themed Blood Angels (Iron Angels) that I made awhile back.
Forge World being legal for 40k is a whole ‘nother issue I haven’t been able to address as of yet. But I really hope to get to it soon, cause I have some good opinions on the matter.
The 40k version of this vehicle loses it’s invulnerability to melta weaponry, BUT retains it 36″ movement and ten terminator transport capacity. It also now moves as a skimmer in 40k games, but overall I’ll take the good with the bad there!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
