Games Workshop Legiones Astartes Typhon Heavy Siege Tank

The Legiones Astartes Typhon Heavy Siege Tank from the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy range provides a highly detailed vehicle for your Legiones Astartes army. Theres no shortage of things that need blowing up in the Age of Darkness. Dreadnoughts, Cataphractii, Kratos Heavy Battle Tanks, all of these and more can be torn asunder with the Typhon Heavy Siege Tank. The Typhon Heavy Siege Tank shares a chassis with the Spartan, but instead of carrying squads of Tactical Marines and Terminators across the battlefield, it mounts a centerline dreadhammer siege cannon.It was created by the Mechanicum after a direct request from Perturabo himself. No stranger to prolonged and brutal sieges, the Hammer of Olympia wanted to get big guns to the front line as fast as possible and thus the Typhon was born. As with many Spartan variants, the Typhon can expand its specific blast-tastic loadout with a choice of sponson weapons such as heavy bolters, volkite culverins, heavy flamers, or lovely lascannons. The real star of the show however, is the dreadhammer itself. Strength 12 and AP 3 make a mockery of heavy armour, and that performance is only improved by Rending (4+) and Sunder. Beef that shot up with Ordnance and Blast 5” and a stationary Typhon can take out whole squads of Legion Tactical Marines at a time. Its not a long distance high explosive delivery machine, but its medium range of 24” is largely offset by the heavy protective armour to weather return fire.
