Horus Heresy: Legion Imperialis Stormhammer is a Rolling Fortress!
What’s that rumbling? Games Workshop has some good news for Legions Imperialis. The Imperial Stormhammer is coming to crush whatever the enemy is defending.
Sometimes you just have to apply brute force to acomplish your battlefield objectives. Thankfully, GW is letting the armor loose with the Stormhammer. It’s got all the guns, and all the armor. Just what the Solar Auxilia ordered!
“Super-heavy tanks were a common sight on the battlefields of the Great Crusade, and even as the galaxy slipped into the horrors of the Horus Heresy they continued to spearhead Solar Auxilia assaults with near-impenetrable armour and massive guns. One vehicle above all was the chosen steed of Humanity’s elite – the Stormhammer.
This colossal tank is equal parts artillery battery, fortified bunker, and mobile command post, and designed to lead armoured assaults across treacherous terrain.
Squadrons of up to three Stormhammers at a time can be yours to command in Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis. As part of the elite Solar Auxilia, these super-heavies were afforded intricate armour trim, and despite their diminutive size these new miniatures capture all of it down to the individual rivets.”
Meet the Stormhammer’s Family
If you’re keeping track at home, that’s yet another superheavy option to roll across the tabletop with. The Stormhammer is joining the Baneblade family. Just as a size comparison, here’s the Stormhammer next to a puny Leman Russ and Solar Auxilia Infantry.
It’s build atop the same superheavy chassis as it’s more famous sibling, but is packing a lot more heat with those extended lascannon sponsons and the dual turrets up top.
The Baneblade is coming in packs of two, so we assume the Stormhammer will as well. Time will tell on that front.
Between all these superheavy , plus standard tanks the Solar Auxilia are going to be a mighty fighting force in Legions Imperialis. Seems appropriate. Now if we could just get our hands on all these miniatures and play some games…
Stormhammer vs Artillery — which Solar Auxilia option are you going to take to the Tabletop in Legions Imperialis?
