Guess how big it really is? The new kit was spotted today, as at least one lucky hobbyist purchased it early at the Forge World Open!

Molded tracks – YESS!
What’s in the box??
Got parts?
What it looks like up close:
The Mastodon was in use by the Iron HandsSpace Marine Legion during the early stages of the Horus Heresy and most likely before. It is likely that other Space Marine Legions used the Mastodon as well. For example, at the outset of the One-Five-Four-Six ‘Kharaatan’ Campaign, the Salamanders had enough Mastodons to transport the entire Legion force present – approx 6000 Legionaries.(Via Lexicanum)
Wow that is awesome. The biggest tank for the Space Marines has finally arrived! Will games of 30k ever be the same?
