The Medusa and Basilisk artillery tanks employed by the Solar Auxilia are armoured bombardment platforms, their heavy guns mounted on a hull derived from the Leman Russ. Enclosed against enemy fire and protected from the hazardous atmospheres of toxic or alien worlds, these mobile siege batteries can keep pace with the cohort's advance, pummelling the foe's positions even as main line units move to engage any survivors.

The Sicaran is among the most advanced of the armoured vehicles fielded by the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank with a number of variants favoured throughout the Legions. The Sicaran Venator replaces the standard turret-mounted cannon with a powerful neutron laser that can slice through armoured hulls and blast internal compartments with atomic fire. Coupled with the Sicaran's ferocious speed, this volatile weapon makes the Sicaran Venator an ideal tank hunter, capable of delivering devastating firepower to anywhere on the battlefield.

The Sicaran is one of the most advanced armoured units in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes, a fast-moving destroyer tank designed to outflank enemy formations before unleashing an overwhelming onslaught of mid-range firepower. Though its chassis supports a number of variants fielded throughout the Legions, the core Sicaran battle tank remains a versatile favourite. Armed with Herakles-pattern accelerator autocannons, it provides high-volume, high-velocity fire support that can rip through infantry and vehicles alike – its sophisticated sensors tracking swift-moving targets and pinpointing vulnerabilities in enemy armour.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Legion Scorpius, a mobile artillery piece built on the Deimos-pattern chassis. This tank's turret-mounted missile system is loaded with rotary racks of explosive rockets, ready to saturate whole battlefield zones with a whirlwind of shrapnel and flames. Its launchers can be assembled at a variety of angles, to suggest a devastating volley of direct fire or an arcing salvo of munitions that will wipe out all but the heaviest infantry.

Tactical squads are the mainstay of the Space Marine Legions and the force by which the Great Crusade has reconquered much of the galaxy. By the fighting power of thousands of superhuman warriors such as these, armed and armoured for battle in the harshest of environments and the deadliest of war zones, the enemies of Mankind have been crushed repeatedly. The Legion Tactical squad is a highly flexible infantry unit, able to attack or defend at will, assault heavily fortified positions and take and hold strategic objectives, or simply slaughter an enemy comprehensively in almost any situation.

Malcador Heavy Tanks are mighty armoured vehicles, based on ancient designs dating back to the Age of Strife on Terra itself. These imposing battle tanks are larger and heavier than the Leman Russ, but boast a truly formidable battle speed for their size thanks to highly sophisticated – if somewhat temperamental – drive systems. Operating with the support of Solar Auxilia infantry sections and more flexible armoured assets, a Malcador Heavy Tank can unleash a terrifying fusillade of frontal firepower.

The Spartan Assault Tank is a huge armoured conveyer, designed to bear a great contingent of troops into the heart of enemy lines, weathering weapons fire that would be the death of any lesser vehicle. Protected by a sealed shell of legendarily durable plating, the Spartan's carrying capacity exceeds anything but a true super-heavy transporter, while retaining an impressive speed across the battlefield. Its quad lascannons make the Spartan a fearsome tank destroyer, while its secondary armaments allow it to sweep infantry from its path. The Spartan takes pride of place in the armouries of many Legions, its presence limited only by its sheer scale.

Outside the loyalist Space Marine Legions and the Cult Mechanicum, the Emperor wields forces which are loyal only to him. The Legio Custodes guard the Emperor's person, while the Sisters of Silence stand watch over the Black Ships. The Solar Auxilia are the elite spearhead of the Imperial Army, exemplars of mortal soldiery, while the Divisio Assassinorum is the Emperor's culling blade, aimed at the neck of any foolish enough to imperil his grand dream of Unity.

The Space Marine Legions of the 31st Millenium field a diverse and formidable range of genetically-enhanced warriors and advanced war machines, superior to any other military force in the galaxy. As an Age of Darkness falls across the stars and the fires of rebellion rage out of control, the armies that were used to forge the Imperium turn upon each other in an apocalyptic civil war – the Horus Heresy.

Heavily-armed and impressively armoured, the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought is an alternative development of the highly successful Contemptor design. These rare and mighty engines are prized by Astartes commanders, recognised as savagely powerful siege and hunter-killer units that can crush any opposition with a volley of devastating firepower. Yet such overwhelming strength comes at a cost – a Leviathan's systems place an onerous and ultimately lethal strain upon its occupant, the entombed incumbent burning brightly but only briefly in their second life.
