Monday, May 5th, 2014Primaris Lightning Interceptor w/ ground attack option
Saturday, May 3rd, 2014One of the greatest interceptor fighters used by Legiones Astartes during Great Crusade and Horus Heresy was Primaris Lightning. It was a fast maneuverable aircraft capable of delivering overwhelming firepower. While it wasn’t extremely durable, it was piloted by skillful space marine legionaries capable of extreme evasive maneuvers.

Sunday, April 20th, 2014Malcador Battle Tank is one of oldest and most venerable vehicles still in service at Astra Militarum in 41st millenium. In most panzer regiments it’s replaced by faster and more versatile Leman Russ tank.
It was not always this way. During Great Crusade Malcador Tanks were renowned for their high speed, but since then, as a result of technological decay Imperium has lost ability to properly worship their machine spirits and oil their engines. They become unreliable and weren’t performing as well as they used to.
