Tons of folks would love to see a more accessible version of the old MK1 Deimos Pattern Rhino for their growing plastic Heresy armies, and according to BoLS that may just be on the way soon.

One very very accurate industry source just dropped in with this info:
- The Heresy-era Deimos Rhino is complete and ready to roll as a plastic kit.
- Its basic chassis was completed in CAD long ago, and is now fully designed on sprue.
- The hallmark circular side doors are multi-part – ensuring the kit can serve as the basis for other Rhino-based vehicles such as the Predator.
- The tracks are the integral one part designs built into the side sections of the vehicle, as seen on some recent kits – doing away with the tedious wheel and track components.
- No word on the timing of the Deimos release – but GW could get it into production at will.
Remember the old, old version of this, straight outta 1988?
Now don’t forget where there is a plastic MK1 Rhino, there could be a plastic Predator too:
And of course other cool Deimos variants as well:
