Legiones Astartes: Leviathan Dreadnought with Claws/Drills

Legiones Astartes Leviathan Dreadnought with Claws/Drills

The heavily armoured and impressively armed Leviathan Siege Dreadnought is an alternative model to the highly successful Contemptor pattern. These rare and powerful machines are prized by Astartes commanders, recognised as brutally effective siege and hunter-killer units capable of crushing any resistance in an unstoppable, annihilating assault. Yet such overwhelming strength comes at a price – a Leviathan's systems place its pilot under great and ultimately fatal stresses, ensuring the warrior entombed within burns bright, but brief, in their second life.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Leviathan Siege Dreadnought, a terrifying armoured walker armed with deadly close-range weaponry. Each of the Leviathan's mechanical fists are weaponised with a built-in meltagun, and can be assembled as either a crushing siege claw or a brutal siege drill, with individually posable fingers. The Dreadnought's torso also houses two additional weapons – your choice of heavy flamers or twin-linked volkite calivers – and it can also be armed with an optional hull-mounted phosphex discharger. This impressively customisable kit includes a choice of three different breastplates, two different cowls, and three different groin armour plates. The joints and head can all be assembled for a wide range of poses, with various cabling options for different arm positions, and a choice of foot options to display it stomping forwards or braced for an attack.

This kit comprises 153 plastic components, and is supplied with a Citadel 80mm Round Base, as well as a Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer Sheet featuring 44 optional markings and icons for the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists Legions. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

This kit is compatible with the Leviathan Dreadnought Ranged Weapons Frame, allowing you to equip your Dreadnought with a variety of powerful ranged weapons.

You will need a copy of the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – Age of Darkness Rulebook and either Liber Astartes: Loyalist Legiones Astartes Army Book or Liber Hereticus: Traitor Legiones Astartes Army Book to make full use of this model. Rules for using the Leviathan Siege Dreadnought in games of Warhammer 40,000 are available in Warhammer 40,000: Imperial Armour Compendium, available from ForgeWorld.co.uk.
