The Mightiest Land Raider – Achilles Unboxed

Land Raider Achilles 03

Meet the mightiest Land Raider that’s good in games of BOTH 30 and 40k. Plus it’s invulnerable to a ton of weapons out there. Come see the Achilles!

No matter how you shake it, the Achilles does a lot of heavy lifting in both game systems. Plus it’s a neat upgrade kit for the venerable Land Raider Chassis as well, and perhaps the perfect thing for the player out there looking for something “different” for his Astartes forces.

Maybe best of all, it comes it two flavors, 30k, and grim dark 40k.

LAND RAIDER ACHILLES £71 (40k)

 

ACHILLES-ALPHA PATTERN LAND RAIDER £74 (MK1 30k)

The Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider is the most durable vehicle currently in the service of the Legiones Astartes. These vehicles shrug off weapon strikes that would cripple other battle tanks, and are proof against even the most toxic environment. The weaponry of these vehicles is formidable, featuring an advanced quad launcher and powerful volkite batteries.

The Achilles-Alpha pattern Land Raider model is a complete multi-part resin and plastic kit that comes with the option of either twin-linked multi-meltas or twin-linked volkite culverins as sponson weapons.
