FW: New “Retro” Land Speeder Coming Soon

Forge World is teasing the return of a new reimagined classic – Say hello to the new “Old School” Land Speeder!

The Land Speeder is one of the oldest units from Warhammer 40,000 finding it’s origins back in Rogue Trader. It’s had it’s updates through the years to both the rules and the models, but it’s always been around.

Very soon, the Land Speeder will be receiving similar treatment, as this classic design is brought to life in glorious resin.

We’re going to be keeping an eye out for when this one goes live on Forge World’s site. It would fit in perfectly with those “other” retro-updated units:

I think it still looks better than the Dark Angel DJ Booth. What do you think of the new “Retro” Land Speeder? Let us know in the comments below!
