Nothing about this says Heresy, except the weapons fit, which arguably I could have just grabbed from another set and added to the standard Achilles. All the other Heresy Era Vehicles have some embellishments and nice touches, compare the Rhino and it's Heresy Era version. I had the cash 5 months ago for an Achilles for my Iron Hands, but was told a Heresy-Era one was in the offing. I held off, hoping for a Spartan type or maybe like the Cerebrus, Typhon or Proteus, with the reworked hemispherical sponsons, maybe even a Sicaran variant.....Instead it's a normal Achilles with MkIIB Sponsons that mount a Heresy Era weapon. I'm a little underwhelmed, but cheered myself up by buying a Sicaran Battle Tank, and 3 of the Dwarf Quad Guns from MANTIC.

I usually prefer the 40k era tanks to the heresy ones, but I think this one looks a little cooler than the original. :)Son of Dornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694742423899579008noreply@blogger.com
