Space Marines Hunter & Stalker Rhino Variants

Images for the new Space Marines are coming hard and fast now. Here is a closer look at the two new Anti-Aircraft Rhino variants “found” by the Adeptus Astartes to finally get rid of those Power-Armour-munching Heldrakes. Fun models!

#1 – Space Marines Stalker Tank

Stalker is the one with dual 3-barrel autocannon-like guns, it also has a nice radar dish, really badass look. It’s described as rapid-firing AA (guess it’s SM version of IG Hydra). Now here’s big thing: it’s not twin-link! those are TWO SEPARATE guns that are mentioned to be able to shoot at TWO SEPARATE targets.

#2 – Space Marines Hunter Tank

Hunter is the one that looks like that vintage SM Hunter tank – one massive AA turret barrel shoots “Skyspear Rockets” but no details on special rules here.

#3 – Thoughts?

It’s been a while since Warhammer 40K saw something resembling a more “mundane” tank. These are rather nice, and (if good) the option of actually fielding a Warhammer 40K army without a Flyer, for a change, would be welcome.

What do you think?

    The stanchions kinda seem pointless. Otherwise don’t look too bad.

      I would presume (!) they play into the rules somehow. Perhaps they need to be immobile to gain skyfire and/or interceptor or something along those lines.

        Yea I get that. But they look pointless more from a visual perspective, especially on the Stalker. That chassis fires bigger guns without them.

    That hunter would be awesome as an allied “counts-as” Imperial Guard Colossus Siege Cannon.
