The Horus Heresy Tarantula Missile Battery Multipart Plastic Kit

The Horus Heresy Tarantula Missile Battery is a multipart plastic modelling kit designed for the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy tabletop wargame. It allows hobbyists to construct two automated Tarantula weapons platforms, which are mobile artillery units used by Legiones Astartes (Space Marine) armies. These self-contained turrets provide supporting firepower without requiring a dedicated crew, freeing up infantry for other battlefield roles. The kit is designed for the Warhammer 30,000 setting, representing technology from the era of the galactic civil war. The kit's primary feature is its versatility. Each of the two Tarantula Batteries can be assembled with one of two distinct weapon options: the Hyperios missile launcher, which is optimised for engaging armoured vehicles and aircraft, or the Orias frag missile launcher, designed to saturate areas and defeat light infantry formations. This allows players to tailor their force to counter specific enemy threats. The models are generic and contain no Legion-specific heraldry, making them suitable for use in both Loyalist and Traitor armies within the game's narrative. The kit comprises 58 detailed plastic components that require assembly and painting, offering a rewarding project for miniature hobbyists. This product is best suited for experienced modellers and players of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy looking to add flexible, long-range fire support to their collection. The Tarantulas are tactically useful for holding rear objectives or covering flanks in the game. As a display piece, the completed models represent classic, utilitarian Imperial war machines from the 30K universe. The building and painting process is a core part of the hobby, requiring plastic glue and suitable acrylic paints, typically from ranges like Citadel Colour.
