The Malcador battle tank possesses a number of advantages to its design, the principal of which is its battle speed, which is truly formidable for a tank of its size thanks to a highly sophisticated drive system. By the time of the Horus Heresy, they saw use with second line Imperial Army units, while the focus moved on to smaller, more tactically flexible tanks. The demands of the war brought them back into mainline usage, where they’re fielded in massive formations and retrofitted with a diverse array of weapons.
This multipart plastic kit builds four epic scale Malcadors, battle tanks for your Solar Auxilia armies. Faster and more lightly armoured than Leman Russ battle tanks, they can be equipped with a variety of weapons to cover your desired battlefield role. The turret can house a versatile Malcador battlecannon, armour-busting Malcador lascannon, or long-range sniper Malcador vanquisher battlecannon. The hull can be fitted with a heavy bolter, lascannon, autocannon, or demolisher cannon, and the sponsons can carry Malcador autocannons, Malcador lascannons, or Malcador heavy bolters. You can further customise your squadron with a choice of gunners, spotters, or closed hatch atop the hull.
The set includes:

- 1x Legions Imperialis Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheet, containing 288 waterslide transfers
