===============================================
Hi there, In this week’s
newsletter we’re excited to announce that the Spartan is available to
pre-order. This new kit is based on a Rogue Trader-era design, now brought up
to date by sculpting legend Phil Stutcinskas. We’ve also got an events update
for you as we are now accepting reservation orders for Games Day Germany.
Space Marine Spartan
Assault Tank
An armoured transport
of truly massive proportions, the Spartan is a heavy assault tank previously all
but unknown outside of the revered Space Marine Chapters and the secretive
Adeptus Mechanicus. The Spartan is a huge armoured conveyer, dwarfing even the
hallowed Land Raider, whose purpose is to carry a large body of troops into the
very heart of an enemy’s battle lines, weathering weapons fire that would be
the death of any lesser vehicle.
Its design
bears clear connections with that of the mighty Land Raider, and its genius is
such that the greater proportion of its interior space is given over to a transport
capacity greater than any other Imperial vehicle save the super-heavy Gorgons –
being capable of carrying twenty-five power armoured Space Marines into battle.
It is, however, considerably faster on the battlefield thanks to potent
reactor-driven motive drives, and it posts an equally potent armament in the
form of sponson-mounted quad lascannon batteries and secondary heavy bolters.
Many Space
Marine Chapters maintain these huge war machines as part of their arsenal and
deploy them into the most hellish and destructive warzones and battlefields,
where even the mighty Land Raider would be torn asunder. Their greater
transport capacity also finds particular favour amongst those Chapters who
possess many suits of Terminator armour such as the Minotaurs.
The Spartan Assault Tank, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, is an enormous
multi-part resin kit that features a detailed interior. Experimental rules to
allow this armoured behemoth to be fielded in games of Warhammer 40,000 will be
available to download soon, and the Spartan itself can be pre-ordered now for
despatch from Friday 29th June.
