GIANT: Mastodon Assault Tank Unboxed
The Space Marine Mastodon is the biggest tank in the 41st Millennium! See just how big it ‘really’ is!
Forge World rolls out the largest chunk of Tank resin the 41st Millennium as yet to see! The Mastodon truly is a massive tank!
There’s the Fellblade out there, but it’s not nearly as big as the Mastodon. This is an amazing piece of miniature engineering. If you’re planning to buy the Fellblade, you may want to spend a little more and spring for this collectible! This thing would look amazing sitting on a shelf painted up with some troops around it!
Forge World spared no expense when it comes to detail on this one. The treads look incredible! All the small nubs, cuts, and undercuts in the side add so much detail.
The inside of the tank is also highly detailed! All the lockers and ladder leading up to the crew department look phenomenal.
All of the gun barrels, hatches and crew bits are extremely detailed. There appears to be no miscasts anywhere in this kit!
The bulkheads are similar to those we have already seen on the Titans, but more refined with sweet computer technology.
MASTODON HEAVY ASSAULT TRANSPORT
Description
The Mastodon was one of the heaviest assault transports in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade, and is still found in the armouries of the Space Marine Chapters of the 41st Millenium. Its cavernous assault bay, capable of housing almost half a Company, is protected both by thick layers of ceramite armour as well as crackling void shields. It also mounts a fearsome siege melta array, allowing it to breach even the most formidable defences with ease, as well as an array of secondary weaponry intended to defend the vehicle as it approaches its target. Unleashed only against the most fearsome of enemy redoubts, there are few obstacles that can stay the wrath of this relic of the Imperium’s bloody birth.
The Mastodon is heavily armed and armoured, carrying 40 Space Marines, and even Dreadnoughts, safely to the heart of battle. Whilst embarked, the warriors within will defend their immense transport, turning the sponson weapons on any enemy brave or foolish enough to come close. It’s Siege melta array can easily destroy fortifications, and makes short work of armoured vehicles, whilst its Skyreaper Battery will tear through any airborne threat with ease.
Rules for using the Mastodon Heavy Assault Transport in Horus Heresy Games can be found in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List and in The Horus Heresy Book Six – Retribution. Rules for using the Mastodon in standard games of Warhammer 40,000 can be downloaded.
The Mastodon Heavy Assault Transport is a complete multi-part resin kit that builds one super-heavy transport vehicle.
