Games Workshop Warhammer Horus Heresy Deimos Pattern Rhino | Legiones Astartes Transport

Overview

Enter the theatre of Warhammer The Horus Heresy with the Deimos pattern Rhino, a decisive transport for Legiones Astartes. This multipart plastic kit assembles into a single Legion Rhino Transport designed to carry a 10‑man squad across the 31st Millennium, with space for accompanying characters. Thick armour plating and defensive smoke launchers offer a sense of rugged resilience on the tabletop, while the twin‑linked bolters provide an iconic armament that fits into a range of unit builds. The kit supports a variety of loadouts to suit your battlefield role, all while staying true to the model’s distinctive silhouette.

What you get and how it helps on the table

• A versatile transport with the capacity to deploy a ten‑man squad and accompanying characters for coordinated assaults or defensive holds.
• Core armament includes twin‑linked bolters and defensive smoke launchers to boost survivability during a game.

Customization and loadout options
