Guilliman: We need to increase the range of our missiles. Perhaps have them out of sight and use long range targeting systems?
Cawl: Preposterous! We simply build a huge drop platform to deploy the missile turret behind enemy lines
Gilliman: But, wont the enemy simply walk up and wreck it?
Cawl: NaturalIy, I will cover it with flamers.
Guilliman: I dont know, overwatch is not what it used to be... Hey! Could we drop Primaris marines and Redemptors as well!?
Cawl: NO!

I really hope it’s meant to be deployed by Thunderhawk. Otherwise why not just make a plastic model of the Deathstorm Drop Pod? That at least has an actually plausible design for an atmospheric entry vehicle – provided you assume an ablative cover over the braking thrusters at the bottom that gets discarded at high altitudes, anyway.

It is very Dawn of War. I do like the idea of SM forward bases being dropped from orbit in that style, but I think the execution could definitely be better.
There are aspects I like, such as the underlying bunker, but it really needs more of a nod to how it actually travels through the atmosphere than those stubby fins.
At least they thought of adding the legs to allow the thing to self stabilise on arrival.

Except the legs don’t work properly because they can’t retract – the fins are part of the main hinge pin/cog and jam on the casing.

I was wondering how hard it would be to take the legs off and just make it a bunker. Replace them with doors/hatches/consoles.
Part of my “one of these days” list of things to do is to make part of a table the polar fortress of Macragge. These are not bad looking marine bunkers.
It’s just the fact that they look silly as orbital drops, and don’t really fit in the marine ethos of war.
Might just be better off firing up DoW and breaking out the plasticard. I liked those turrets.

Yeah it’s a bit of a daft design, but then it’s not alone in that among the marine lineup.

If the bunker came in Indomitus I'd be tempted to hang onto it even though I'd sell all the other marine models on.
I mean lets not get into the whole "impractical designs" of 40K model because things like the Leman Russ are terribly designed - based on designs of the first and second generation of tanks. Even by modern standards they are primitive in their design ethos.

Considering that they could have covered this drop bunker in all sorts of crap, I think we got off pretty easily here.

I think the most interesting thing about this all is that Faction Terrain appears to be making a proper debut in 40k.
How many factions have terrain now(including this)?
- Craftworlds
- Sisters of Battle
- Space Marines
- Tau
- Necrons
- Orks
- Imperial Knights
I also noticed that the Khorne Altar for Blades of Khorne in AoS is now listed under 40k terrain along with the Nurgle Trees so we could maybe add:
- Khorne
- Nurgle
So I am wondering if there are more rumor engines that might be a part of a terrain piece like this.

Lol, very true. I think I’m just going to head Cannon it that it comes in a drop pod that splits off as it reaches a safe altitude.
I will say this though, the Necron pylon things look bloody good.

The point would be you could buy one and use it for either, rather than having to buy two. Yes yes, magnets, but some people don't care for those, it's too easy to lose things.

Im at a loss beyond those kind of look like power coil/tubes you usually see on mechanical things in the different ranges, but this has a distinctly chaos kind of feel to it.

That is some Death Guard thing, trust me. I have been painting these exact tubes on quite a few Plague Marines right now, and the wings have those Death Guard pockmarks.

A part of me is hoping they are updating the Nurgle Daemon Prince with a new plastic ones, and it could be used for 40k and AoS. With that the Death Guard line would be completely plastic. Also, the Nurgle Daemon Prince is no longer listed under Death Guard or Chaos Daemons in 40k or for Maggotkin in AoS. Can only find it by using the search function.
