Today we are going to take a look at the last of the Genestealers ! Get your first look unboxing of the Armoured Claw and Leman Russ. Check it out!
The Leman Russ box is a standard Leman Russ battle tank but also includes the upgrade sprue. The dozer blade is no longer included but can be purchased separately on the Games Workshop website. We no longer have to glue in the little wheels for the treads to lock into, which was a pain. Now there are little notches to make the tread assembly much easier.
Next we will take a look at the Neophyte Hybrid Armoured Claw. This is a new bundle kit that includes the normal Cadian Shock Troups kit that we have seen since 2005 and the Chimera that was released in 2009.
Check out the video below for a look at the full unboxing.
Neophyte Hybrid Armoured Claw: $55
A force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, an Armoured Claw’s cultists have been practicing their destructive abilities, hidden from view, for decades. Having appropriated a Chimera, and covered it in Cult icons that leave no-one in doubt as to who is in charge, they scream across the battlefield, smashing enemies out of their way. Once the dust settles, the Neophyte Hybrids within disembark, bring their lasguns to bear, and let the real killing begin.
This box set contains the models necessary to assemble a Neophyte Hybrid Armoured Claw. You’ll receive a Chimera, a box of 10 Cadian Shock Troops, and a Genestealer Cults Upgrade Frame – this contains everything you need to upgrade the Cadians to Neophyte Hybrids, including 14 heads, assorted Cult icons, daggers and grenades, and 6 Cult icons for the Chimera.
Genestealer Cults Leman Russ: $55
The Leman Russ’ bulky silhouette looms through the cordite-scented smoke, turret tracking as its merciless cultist gunners search for new prey. A split second later, a fat-bodied cannon shell detonates to send a thunderous explosion of shrapnel, debris and body parts flying in all directions. The tank’s sponson weapons chatter and scream as they sow death amongst the survivors of each new assault. Return fire pings and ricochets from the Leman Russ’ inches-thick hull – a Genestealer Cult that includes such vehicles brings not only a subtle and creeping death, but a bombastic, violent assault of shell, laser and solid shot.
This multi-part plastic kit contains all the components necessary to assemble a Genestealer Cults Leman Russ. You’ll receive a Leman Russ, complete with the massive array of options and customisation available to it, and a Genestealer Cults Upgrade Frame – this can be used to make a Neophyte Hybrid Tank Commander, and includes plenty of Cult icons to make sure the enemy knows who owns the tank!
Head over to Games Workshop and grab Genestealer Leman Russ and the Neophyte Hybrid Armoured Claw.
