Astartes players, it’s time to unleash hell – the Legion Basilisk is here!
This new kit features a fantastic never before seen Chimera class chassis that could prove to be the basis for a ton of new “Imperial Army” kits, as well as Legion variants, for years to come.
It’s both highly detailed and extremely easy to assemble at the same time, plus features a movable turret and positional crew models as well.
If this is a sign of how Forge World will be designing their vehicle kits from now on, I’m stoked for whats next.
The Kit
Legion Basilisk is available for 59 pounds (~$95) from Forge World.
As cohesive fighting forces able to operate and conquer in any theatre of war, the Space Marine Legions maintain their own mobile heavy artillery units. The long-range cannon armed Basilisk is one of the most common artillery units used by the Legiones Astartes and has proved its effectiveness both for protracted bombardments and as a defensive weapon against enemy armour.
This complete multi-part resin and plastic kit designed by Blake Spence includes two Space Marine crew members.
