Warhammer 40,000 - Adeptus Mechanicus: Skorpius Disintegrator/Dunerider

This multi-part plastic kit has 104 components and is used to assemble one Skorpius Disintegrator for the Adeptus Mechanicus. Alternatively, it can be assembled as a Skorpius Dunerider, a Dedicated Transport vehicle for Skitarii infantry, and is able to carry 10 of them within the walls of its armoured hull.

The Skorpius Disintegrator of the Adeptus Mechanicus drifts gracefully across the dunes, its anti-grav motors thrumming quietly in stark contrast to its thundering guns. As it accompanies the advancing Skitarii phalanxes, the Skorpius Disintegrator delivers punishing salvoes from its ferrumite or belleros energy cannons, while its cognis heavy stubbers and disruptor missile launcher spit death at any who would threaten the armoured vessel.

In addition to its flanking pair of cognis heavy stubbers, and prow-mounted disruptor missile launcher, the Skorpius Disintegrator bears a ferrumite cannon or a voltaic belleros energy cannon. Its primary turret weapon is manned by a Servitor gunner that has been hard-wired into the weapon for optimal performance.

The Skorpius Dunerider serves as a Skitarii transport vessel enabling the loyal servants of the Machine God to engage or pursue the enemy with ever greater speed and efficiency. As the Skitarii disembark to bring the fury of the Omnissiah to their enemies, the Dunerider’s twin cognis heavy stubbers offer a high rate of covering fire.

Within its open cargo hold, the gunners tasked with firing the vehicle’s flanking pair of cognis heavy stubbers stand at their stations with hands on triggers. A turret-mounted pair of cognis heavy stubbers rises is mounted on a rear cupola, its Servitor gunner protected from return fire by an armoured shield mounted between the barrels.

It can be assembled with a crewman set in the second rear cupola, or with its hatch closed. The disembarkation ramp is designed to be moveable so it can be opened or closed during a game, though it can be glued in place if desired.
