Come see an unboxing for the newest skimmer for games of Horus Heresy (and perhaps 40k soon as well): the Caladius Grav Tank!
30k guru Garro is on the floor at the Warhammer 40k open day, sharing the event with everyone:
Checkout the unboxing of the new Custodes Caladius Grav-Tank and it’s rules as well:
20 Different Part types total.
Assembles in 9 steps, not too bad! With the underslug weapon being move-able!
Interesting new “slotta peg” flying stem and base for this one. I wonder if this is going to be a new thing for Forge World skimmers.
Small Parts Bag
And the Rules for the Caladius:
Strength 7 rending is no joke, but it will take more than that to crack armor 14 consistently though. I like these guys, but in a more anti-heavy infantry / light armor busting role. Not sure if the Custodes will have an issue breaking armor from range at this point, maybe they’ll just have to do it in hand to hand somehow!
Talons of the Emperor seem to be a thing now, look for more Custodes in the upcoming Book VII: Inferno for the Horus Heresy soon.
