Legions Imperialis Karacnos Assault Tank Squad - 4 Mechanicum Vehicle Models

The Legions Imperialis Karacnos Assault Tank Squad is a multipart plastic modelling kit for the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Legions Imperialis tabletop wargame. It allows players to construct four distinct Karacnos Assault Tanks, which are formidable mobile artillery platforms designed for the Mechanicum and Dark Mechanicum factions. These vehicles can also be fielded as allied units by Legiones Astartes and Solar Auxilia armies, providing heavy fire support on the epic scale battlefields of the Horus Heresy setting. Each Karacnos tank is a heavily-armoured variant of the Triaros Armoured Conveyor, with its transport compartment replaced by a battery of radiological mortars. This primary weapon system is complemented by twin, independently-targeting lightning locks, giving the vehicle substantial anti-infantry and suppressive capabilities. A notable feature of the kit is the option to assemble the mortar battery in either an exposed, ready-to-fire position or a retracted, travel-safe configuration, allowing for dynamic posing and display. The models are highly detailed, consisting of 124 plastic components, and come with a dedicated Mechanicum transfer sheet containing 500 high-quality waterslide decals for customisation. This squad is ideally suited for wargamers looking to add robust area-denial and sustained firepower to their Legions Imperialis force. The Karacnos excels at holding key objectives and suppressing enemy formations with its barrage of irradiated shells. As with all Games Workshop kits, the models are supplied unpainted and unassembled, requiring plastic glue and paints to complete. Rules for using the squadron in games are found in the separate 'The Rise of the Dark Mechanicum' expansion book.
