So I went ahead and ordered one of these bad boys from Forge World, because of it’s new rules in Imperial Armor Apocalypse Second Edition making it legal for 40k.
And because it’s now “40k Legal” I’m adding it to my Mechanicus themed Blood Angels (Iron Angels) that I made awhile back.
Forge World being legal for 40k is a whole ‘nother issue I haven’t been able to address as of yet. But I really hope to get to it soon, cause I have some good opinions on the matter.
The 40k version of this vehicle loses it’s invulnerability to melta weaponry, BUT retains it 36″ movement and ten terminator transport capacity. It also now moves as a skimmer in 40k games, but overall I’ll take the good with the bad there!
