This version of the Fellblade chassis features a massive volkite carronade that can pierce power armor and vaporize anyone inside. This impressive firepower proved especially useful during the conflicts between Space Marine legions.
For the first time, the Glaive is available in plastic, offering numerous choices for hull and sponson weapons, similar to the Fellblade.
Imagine spotting such a tank on the battlefield. You’d likely want to keep your distance. But what if there were a way to bombard your enemies safely? Enter the new plastic Whirlwind missile tank.
The Whirlwind is a classic Astartes vehicle, built on the Rhino chassis, equipped with a large missile launcher. It sends waves of explosive warheads into enemy lines, even without a clear line of sight. Its advanced targeting systems allow various munitions to be loaded and fired separately, including standard explosives and incendiary Pyrax rounds.
Most artillery is at risk when enemies get close. However, the Whirlwind’s speed and reliability let it relocate quickly, often using smoke for cover. This makes it an asset in both mobile and siege operations. Few commanders would turn down a barrage of missiles that can disrupt enemy forces.
The upcoming Journal Tactica book, Mailed Fist: Legiones Astartes Super-Heavy Tanks, will focus on these formidable tanks, examining their impact during the Horus Heresy.
This 48-page guide includes new missions tailored for large-scale vehicle confrontations, supporting chaotic multiplayer battles. It dives into the lore surrounding the super-heavy fleets of the Legiones Astartes, allowing players to relive notable battles, such as the Siege of Portresh.
In recent years, interest in tabletop gaming has surged, especially with growing communities sharing strategies on platforms like TikTok and Twitch. From showcases of painted miniatures to gameplay tips, social media has become a vibrant space for enthusiasts to connect.
Understanding these powerful vehicles and their strategic uses can enhance gameplay. Remember, successful commanders balance offense and defense, making the Whirlwind and similar tanks crucial for victory on the battlefield.
