Product Information

The Lost and the Damned - The Lost and the Damned consists of Imperial Guard soldiers, Chaos Cultists and others that have turned against the Imperium and have either sided with the forces of Chaos or have became Renegades against Imperial rule. These Renegades and Traitors still use the Chimera as their armoured transport of choice. A select few Guardsmen have the foolhardy bravery (or insanity) to willingly volunteer to crew a Hellhound. Those who do take perverse pride in their reputation, claiming others simply "can't take the heat" as they gun their vehicle towards the largest concentration of enemy forces with pyromaniacal zeal. [2a] [3] This is a major improvement for mechanised armies that love to leap from their vehicles and blaze away at close range, like the T’au, Astra Militarum, Aeldari, and power armour-clad warriors of all varieties. You still can’t embark and disembark on the same turn, but you don’t need to keep your engine running for a turn before the doors open – which, coupled with their newfound durability, makes fielding transports more appealing than ever. The sacrosanct formula of gas used in a BaneWolf’s chem cannon is dictated by the Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Even so, various regiments have been known to employ their own makeshift concoctions. One such mixture, known as ‘the penitent’s breath’, was used to scour a heretical uprising from the scum-pits of Savlar. The iridescent spray proved effective, but the BaneWolf crews who employed it were themselves swiftly executed for heresy afterwards. [5]

Leman Russ ( Annihilator • Conqueror • Eradicator • Executioner • Exterminator • Punisher • Vanquisher) • Siegfried • Scylla • Destroyer • Thunderer Originally conceived as a field modification, the Thunderer Siege Tank is becoming more and more common. Many Thunderers started their existence as a Destroyer Tank Hunter, but due to the low number of available replacements for the Destroyer's main weapon, the Laser Destroyer, many field shops would simply replace the broken weapon with a Demolisher Cannon, and thus the Thunderer was born.Over the millennia, the Chimera has been pressed into service in a variety of different forms, proving its reliability over and over again. The Chimera is a highly versatile armoured vehicle able to operate in the most hostile environments faced by the Imperial Guard. Chimeras are amphibious vehicles and are able to move through dense swamps, deep marshes and even rivers. Tallarn Armoured Regiment - Saw action with extensive use of Salamnder Scouts during the Taros Campaign The standard Macharius mounts twin Battle Cannons in its main turret, supplemented by a hull-mounted twin-linked Heavy Stubber and sponson-mounted Heavy Stubbers, which may be replaced by Heavy Flamers or Heavy Bolters.

There are several variants of the Hellhound which replace the Inferno Cannon with alternate armaments. The Stormhammer is a super-heavy main battle tank of the Imperial Guard based on the Baneblade chassis that is usually armed with turret mounted twin-linked Battle Cannons and hull-mounted twin-linked Demolisher Cannons, four sponson-mounted twin-linked Heavy Bolters, and four top-mounted sponson Lascannons. The tank is used when extreme firepower is in high demand and it is the rarest variant of the Baneblade super-heavy tank used by the Imperial Guard. There is also another variant of the Stormhammer that replaces the hull-mounted twin-linked Demolisher Cannons with a secondary turret that is armed with another set of twin-linked Battle Cannons. It is unknown either if these are two different variants of the same variant or if it is another variant altogether. Tallarn Armoured Regiment, "Desert Storm" - Fought during the Defence of Balle Alpha, and during the Taros Campaign The Hellbore Heavy Mole is a super-large burrowing vehicle and is the largest of the tunnelling troop transports utilised by the Adeptus Mechanicus known collectively as "tunnellers" or "miners". It is far larger than both the Termite and the Mole, and like them utilises a phase-field generator to burrow deep underground with its massive drill, carrying many units of Imperial troops safely far below the surface of the earth, beneath enemy fortifications and formations. This allows the Hellbore to surface behind an enemy's position or the flanks of an enemy fortification at which point its troops disembark for close assault. This vehicle is equipped with Multi-Launchers and Heavy Bolters. Praetor Armoured Assault Launcher - The Praetor is an armoured assault missile launcher used by the Imperial Guard for direct infantry fire support. The Praetor is a modified variant of the Crassus Armoured Assault Transport, and is named after the unique weapon it mounts known as the Praetor Heavy Assault Launcher. The weapon is a sophisticated, multiple heavy missile launcher akin to the Whirlwind Missile Launcher of the Space Marine Whirlwind tank and Helios Pattern Land Raiders, although it is much larger and more powerful. The weapon is capable of firing several types of missiles distinguished by their use of different warheads, such as the Foehammer, Firestorm, and Pilum. The weapon takes up the space the Crassus uses to transport its precious cargo of soldiers, and its missiles are fully capable of engaging both land and air targets.As new codices are released for each faction, the rules presented in those codices replace the corresponding rules found in the index. Devil Dog - The Devil Dog variant of the Hellhound is equipped with a Melta Cannon in place of the normal Inferno Cannon, Devil Dogs are able to destroy heavy troops and armoured tanks. When fired the main weapons make a high pitched howl as moisture in the air vaporizes, becoming a roaring blast as the target is consumed. Paint the smaller details such as the searchlight, comms system, and towing hooks using appropriate colors. For example, use Yriel Yellow for the searchlight lens and Balthasar Gold for the towing hooks.
