New Release: Warhammer 40K Adeptus Mechanicus Onager Dunecrawler from Games Workshop

Adeptus Mechanicus Onager Dunecrawler
Haven't been big on the newer Warhammer 40K models, but the Onager Dunecrawler for the new Adeptus Mechanicus is pretty nice. The model will run you 66.00 USD individually or get a squadron of three for 198.00 which is a whopping savings of ..... nothing. Available for pre-order from Games Workshop, will ship April 18 2015.

Adeptus Mechanicus Onager Dunecrawler
Owing its origin to the lost knowledge of millennia, the Onager Dunecrawler is based on the Mars Universal Land Engine; itself inspired by the bad-tempered beasts of burden that transported their masters across Holy Terra in ancient times.

The Onager Dunecrawler, rather than being a mere people-carrier, is absolutely brimming with advanced, powerful weaponry capable of reducing worlds to wastelands.

On the subject of weaponry, included in the box are four variants: an eradication beamer, twin phosphor blasters with sensors, a neutron laser featuring a coaxial cognis heavy stubber or an Icarus array - an awesome anti-air assault package comprising twin autocannons, a gatling flak launcher, an armour-piercing missile launcher and a radar dish.
