The Horus Heresy

Aethon Heavy Sentinels are a common sight among the ranks of the Solar Auxilia and are most often piloted by grizzled veterans adept at identifying key enemy targets. These robust machines are able to traverse void station interiors and ruined cityscapes with ease, often forming the lynchpin around which many a successful close-quarters assault has swung.

Tarantula Missile Batteries are utilitarian weapons platforms, often used to bolster exposed flanks or rear line positions to free up the Adeptus Astartes troops. Little more than a sturdy base with a mobile turret, they are designed to mount several different weapons as needs demand. Though simple, they are effective when deployed well. This multipart plastic kit builds two Tarantula Missile Batteries, automated weapons platforms for your Legiones Astartes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. Each can be armed with either a Hyperios missile launcher to take on armour and aircraft, or Orias frag missiles to blast apart hordes of infantry. Whatever enemies you're going up against, there's a configuration for you. This kit has no Legion-specific markings, meaning you can use it in any Space Marines force, whether you are loyal to the Emperor, or have joined Horus in his rebellion.

Having declared its secession from Imperial rule at the very dawn of the Horus Heresy, Mars sat like a viper upon the doorstep of the Loyalist Throneworld – a locus of industry which toiled ceaselessly in preparation for the inevitable Traitor assault upon Terra. Loyalist incursions throughout the civil war would attempt to stymie these efforts, but eventually, the power of Mars would be unleashed against the Sol System in a maelstrom of violence.

The Castellax Battle-automata are general purpose combat robots, developed from older designs during the Great Crusade. Primarily intended for siege work and shock assaults, these terrifying, humanoid machines stand three times the height of a man, with notoriously aggressive and responsive machine spirits. The Castellax class is a mainstay of both the Legio Cybernetica and the elite defensive formations of many forge worlds, who rely on its formidable power, armoured endoskeleton, and atomantic shielding technology for their protection.

The Triaros is the primary armoured battlefield transport of the Mechanicum Taghmata in the Age of Darkness, relying on unique technologies held as arcana by the magos autokrator and never divulged for wider Imperial use, even by the Legiones Astartes. Its galvanic traction drives and hermetically sealed storage bay allow it to operate in hard vacuums and hostile environments, delivering Tech-thralls and even light automata into combat. Layered wardings, interlocking energy shields, and independently animated weapons servitors keep the Triaros protected from harm, while its reactor-fed shock ram can shatter and incinerate whatever it touches.
