Dig Deep With The Mechanicum Macrocarid Explorator
November 18, 2016 by brennon
Forge World has released a new vehicle onto their webstore for bolstering the forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus. See what you think of the Mechanicum Macrocarid Explorator.
This is a monstrous contraption which almost looks like it has already been converted into a heretical vehicle by the forces of Chaos. Still, I wouldn't want to be standing in front of this when it's rumbling across the battlefield.
Here's more on this mammoth vehicle...
"Uniquely crafted to the needs of the Magos leading the expeditionary force, Macrocarid Explorators first saw use as frontline combat and mobile command vehicles in the early days of the Great Crusade.
Heavily armoured and equipped with the Mechanicum’s signature technologies and weapons, they are now pressed into service on both sides of the cataclysmic battles of The Horus Heresy."
It is a very big piece of kit to have in your possession with a number of deadly ranged weapons and those spikes on the front for heaving enemy vehicles out of the way.
What do you think?
"I wouldn't want to be standing in front of this when it's rumbling across the battlefield..."
Certainly an interesting looking vehicle. Having been out of 40k so long I have no idea how useful it would be in your army. Not even going to think about the price tag lol 😛
think more 30K @spaced2020 with army’s of them knocking hell out of each other with Titans & Knights & Skitarii all in the grinder of the mars war.
Well when you put it that way it sounds like fun 😉
would like to see the deformed chaos version’s.
That’s quite a cool looking model.
That’s a rather interesting look for a tank. It has a more Art Deco feel than Gothic. I was getting rather tired with the Gothic look of everything Imperial related.
I can’t articulate exactly why, but to my eyes this tank almost has a Dune inspired feel to it for some reason. It is something I could easily imagine the Imperial Sardaukar riding around in.
Nice, but not £90 nice.
Nice one, looks cool !
Reminds me of the Thundertank from Thundercats.
