From next months WD. Looks like that primaris space marine super heavy that was talked about. More importantly, it's done up in the colours of the Red Scorpions. Fires of Cyraxus anybody? i.imgur.com/N0YKjEl.jpg |

Interesting. At first glance it seems like a quad-barrel autocannon (or some similar weapon) in the front with what I am assuming are two twin heavy bolters on the ball turrets. Only other weapon I can see is the main turret which looks very similar to the twin accelerator autocannons mounted on the Heresy-era Sicaran battle tanks.
Of course considering the sheer size and that it's a space marine tank, it's probably a transport as well.

I like that the words above say "...very large space marine tank and a new book for..." Apocalypse??? Nope I was wrong. It's a Forge world Model. SO likely it will be a new book for FW. Here is a audio of a pod cast at the 7 min mark he talks about what he saw/heard at FW fest. natfka.blogspot.ca/2017/08/primaris-super-heavy-tank-in-works.html |

It's also NOT a troop carrier, it just flings around dead bodies like ragdolls... on fire.

at least it's not immune to mortal wounds.... ....oh wait.... I think most things with void shields ignore mortal wounds. They act like super invulnerable saves with a degrading profile on everything I've seen. Edit- ignore it on a successful role. Most start at 4+ and replace a normal/invul |

What do you know, they gave the thing accelerator cannons and void shields.
Considering that those cannons are supposed to be Archeotech and the only person ever able to cram a void shield into a baneblade sized vehicle has a bloody Primarch with a massive tech-bent (Perturabo's personal ride, the Tormentor) I can't what to see their justification for this.

I think this may be Mastodon sized, and that has two void shield generators.

Really, if it is Mastadon sized then it’d be fair to say that it does in fact have void shields as if you cut the legs of a warhound and add some tank treads, boom! Mastadon.

I mean, the front portion looks like a Sicaran Chassis, so that may be the size reference.

Judging by the Primaris captain standing near the front that front end is the length of an entire Sicaran. It only shares a shape.
