Drop pods are self-contained, recoverable orbital descent capsules, each designed to deliver a squad of Space Marines. They are used for surprise attacks and combat drops into the midst of active war zones, with Legiones Astartes warships showering them down like ordnance from the edge of space towards their target. Drop pods are armoured and reinforced to withstand the rigours of re-entry, but their true defence is speed.
This multipart plastic kit builds one Drop Pod, a transport option for Legiones Astartes armies in games of Warhammer: The Horus Heresy. If you favour disruption, harassment, and aggressive tactics, the Drop Pod will open up new tactical options for your forces. As standard, the Drop Pod is equipped with a Pintle Mounted combi-bolter. The miniature features detailed internal systems such as a console and harnesses, as well as glueless assembly on all five doors, allowing you to open and close them as necessary.
This miniature has no Legion-specific markings, so you can use it in any Space Marines force, whether you're loyal to the Emperor or have joined Horus in his rebellion. However, it does come with optional Imperial Aquila, Space Wolves, Ultramarines, Dark Angels, and Blood Angels icons.
This kit comprises 89 plastic components, and 1x Legiones Astartes Vehicle Transfer sheet containing 288 high-quality waterslide transfers – featuring Legion iconography for the Sons of Horus, Imperial Fists, Iron Warriors, and Salamanders – to decorate your miniatures.
This miniature requires assembly and is supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
