From Brian Hasson at the Forgeworld Open Day:
Land Raider Spartan
Following on the recent trends of introducing the old armour of our youth back into the universe of 40k. Forge World are releasing the Spartan Land Raider! This awesome model is long than most, and can hold twenty Battle Brothers in Marine Armour or ten Terminators. It boasts, two heavy bolters and four quad lasers on each side! We’re talking two re-roll’s here chaps on each sponson!
Created by Phil Williamson, based on the old Landraider featured so many years ago, he said we should expect to see it on sale within the next two months if we’re lucky! Well I for one will be standing in line to buy it!

Forgeworld is one of those things that make me both happy and sad. Happy in that their stuff is so cool. Sad in that I simply don't have enough plasma to sell in order to afford it. :)
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, back in the mists of history when I had more money and fewer children, I began to collect a Death Korps of Krieg army. It was all Forgeworld and I loved it. Before long it just became too cost prohibitive. That didn't make me love Forgeworld any less though.
Thanks for the pics. Their stuff still gives me goosebumps........in a manly way.
I absolutely LOVE the new Spartan they've done, though it has caused some consternation among the Tempus Fugitives folks. The Spartan in the pack is based on the old-school variant that had single lascannons in the sponsons. This one appears to have sponson-mounted Rapier Laser Destroyers. That's quite the upgrade! Heh.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, reminds me of the photos of the Land Raider in the old Rogue Trader 40K book...At the time, I'd have sold my roommates and my brothers for one...good times, good times...
ReplyDeleteHad thoughts of converting a Spartan recently after seeing the pics in Rogue Trader again after 15 years or more,then FW announce this awesome piece of awesomeness.Really looking forward to getting one,keen to see the rules for it too.
ReplyDeleteBeen working on adding to my army to use the Tempus fugitives codex. . . I need four of these sexy beasts please!
