Legions Imperialis: Astartes Support Box Announced – Here Comes Supporting Fire
If you thought that there would be even more tiny Astartes units coming to Legions Imperialis you are correct. Meet the Astartes Support box!
Games Workshop has some big (tiny) plans for Legions Imperialis and one of the first major releases following the launch box is more Astartes in the form of a Legiones Astartes Support box. This will include a bunch of specialized units and fire support for your Astartes forces.
Every model in this article is available in the Legiones Astartes Support box, which contains four Leviathan Dreadnoughts, four Deredeo Dreadnoughts, four Rapier batteries – and their miniscule crew – alongside four Tarantula Batteries, all in plastic.
Leviathan and Deredeo Dreadnoughts
It’s going to be a trip to see these mammoth dreadnoughts in the tiny epic scale. It’s also kind of amazing to see how much details GW managed to pack in there for these models. And to person that painted those individual plasma coils…we salute you.
Rapier and Tarantula Sentry Batteries
Another batch of support fire weapons these units are also looking impressive. The Rapier Batteries and their tiny crew man some rapidly deployed ordnance that can get around the most treacherous of terrain. And the Tarantula Sentries are perfect for plopping down and causing problems ahead of the main force.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Legions Imperialis. As the first follow-up box to the launch box, the Support Box is adding even more variety and tactical options to the Legiones Astartes forces. You can bet there’s even more coming to the game. I wonder if we’ll see more Astartes or maybe some Solar Auxilia next? I guess we’ll have to all stay tuned to find out!
What do you think of the Legiones Astartes Support Box? What other Horus Heresy-era Astartes units would you like to see in epic scale?
