You had me at vehicle on a base that has a giant mortar.

That Ridge runner is possibly my favourite 40k vehicle for some time, cracking stuff.

CULT SPEED FREAKS!!!

The good thing is that this vehicle was drawn in the first video, so other different drawings may be new miniatures too




I look at you

I like the way the background describes it as a largely civilian vehicle but weaponised by the GSC. Fills out a nice bit of fluff behind it rather than another uber tank of war. Characterful.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh gak dawg that is a cool ride.

Bet they CAD'd that baby up while they were doing the ork release, lol.

It's basically a FW Tauros Venator the more I think about it. I wonder how much it will cost in game. Seems like a slightly heavier probably faster scout sentinal. I am glad I only have 3 sentinels, now I can flesh out my FA with these.

You know, I’m faintly confused what purpose this vehicle actually serves on the tabletop, but at least it looks nice enough.

Spoilering all the relevant photos into one place:


I'm kind of in love with this thing.

Nice looking vehicle.

It's a buff vehicle for the Bikers, at least via its Flare Launcher.

Pop a flare, it gets a bit of defense and the Bikers get to move in...

Also it looks dope as hell.

Lovely model.. my second lad will be wanting one for his Cult army.. but both my Orks and Imperial Guard forces are glancing over with a sudden interest as well.

The one with the mortar would have made a fine IG Griffon from back then.

Would have made for a great Tauros variant too!

FINALLY!!! After (30+?) years of waiting, thecult gets a legit LIMO!
Or, about as close as we’re going to get, which is fine.
Can’t wait to see the ‘luxurious’ conversions people (including myself) will be doingto this baby!
I can see some great ‘road warrior-esque’ conversions for GSC, chaos cults, and IG coming from this too.

Love the female spotter as well.
Now I just have to figure out how to attach the front of this to a Goliath body, then my patriarch & magus can ride around in STYLE!

I like that it has a good ammount of options that, at least appear to offer some gameplay and tactical variety instead of being void choices.

Love it,

since it (and the ATV) are based I expect to see speed freaks rules in the near future too

Awesome!

Looks like it would make a great Arbites patrol car too.

Gosh dang it GW. Now I really want a Cult army...

I'd love to see a tutorial about painting the eyes of that spotter in the buggy's cupola.

What do you mean, it's a light vehicle with a heavy mining laser and stubbers, that totally fills something GSC doesn't have!

The Necromunda potential of this, the quadbike and the bikes is excellent. Would be really cool for some ash wastes battles between biker gangs.

Very 40k meets Mad Max.

I think they've done an off white for the white of the eye, a large dark pupil/iris then two highlighting dots of white, a larger one on the top of the pupil and a smaller one diagonally below (basically an adaption of what you seen in a fair bit of anime drawing like the one spoilered below)

A cult Technical! Love it!

great minds think alike or possibly its the patriarch

Beautiful model, lets hope it's got the rules to boot.

If it's cheap we could see it as mobile missile support. What kind of roles do y'all think it'll fill? (Aside from Fast Attack )

Found my next Shokkjump Dragsta!

Or three separate kits...


I'm continually impressed by the GSC models. They actually feel like some craftsmanship was put into them, rather than mass-produced feel a lot of the main ranges have.

Nice design, glad to see a kit with some options, but why the frak is it on a base again?

Also, anyone else feeling kinda sorry for the Orks now? They really wanted a buggy with options - which is one this is - and got lumbered with mono-build kits instead...

Lol. TBF it's a lot more interesting with the flares and mortar attached.

If I went Mortar, I'd go with the Spotter option(increases the range of the weapon) instead of Flares.

HML seems to be the Flare counterpart; get up in there and mix it up while the Flares prep a charge for the Bikers.
