The gun shield and the radiator things that go on the sides of the gun are magnetised here, so I can get at the gun to paint it. I decided against a pintle weapon because I think it makes sense for it to be buttoned up. In-game you’d be snap-firing a pintle weapon if you moved, as the main gun is ordnance, which decreases its value. The bits might come in handy for other kits though. The Space Marines are not alone in making use of this invaluable chassis, as other forces of the Imperium -- such as the Sisters of Battle and the Adeptus Arbites -- use the Rhino core for their own special purpose vehicles. Among the most common variants are the following vehicles: If the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army during the previous battle round, you can change it so that the Assault Doctrine is now active.

The earliest known use of the Rhino in combat is recorded in the ancient Liber Armorum. According to this document, it was first used in combat by the human colonists of Torben's World against unknown indigenous xenos creatures who possessed only a primitive technological level. The Rhino's position of dominance came to an end with the Age of Strife, as Mankind's golden age of technology and interstellar exploration ended in bloody warfare that engulfed almost every Human colony. By the end of the Age of Strife, and the emergence of the Emperor of Mankind, almost all of the complete STC databases from the Age of Technology had been lost or utterly destroyed.

There are many different Marks and Patterns of the standard Rhino and its chassis in use throughout the Imperium, including the following: The military value of such a vehicle was soon recognised, and soon each planet in the burgeoning human empire had its own customised versions of the Rhino, fitted with tons of varying weapons. [2b] As it was capable of being constructed from any locally available materials, and powered by nearly any fuel source, the popularity of the Rhino spread rapidly. Soon, Rhinos became common sights on Frontier Worlds all over human-settled space.

The remaining Rhinos were slowly wiped out by attrition. Only the work and dedication of the Mechanicum saved the Rhino and several other STC designs of ancient technology from being lost forever. The reliability of the original Rhino design meant that it has changed little over the intervening millennia.Renegade Space Marines - Space Marines that have left the Imperium but do not worship Chaos use the Rhino as their main form of battlefield transportation. When you select a PSYKER unit to manifest psychic powers, you select one psychic power that unit knows and attempt to manifest it. With the exception of Smite, you cannot attempt to manifest the same psychic power more than once in the same battle round, even with different PSYKER units. The same PSYKER unit cannot attempt to manifest Smite more than once during the same battle round. The Horus Heresy - Book One: Betrayal (Forge World Series) by Alan Bligh, pp. 7, 51, 60, 106, 152, 186, 207, 259, 267, 281 Over the years many Rhinos have been captured for use by Ork warbands, and, during their flight from the Imperium after the Horus Heresy, the Traitor Legions took their Rhinos with them into the Eye of Terror.

From what I've gathered, the Deimos Pattern Rhino was a bit more sophisticated and complicated than the Mars Pattern Rhino, while the latter was easier to produce and maintain. With the 3rd Legion joining the Great Crusade on a big scale later than other Legions, would they have widespread access to Deimos Pattern Rhinos, or have a bigger fleet of of the Mars Pattern variant?

It is said that this vehicle was used by Vulkan himself during the Siege of Devlin's Fastness, carrying him out through the gates and into the midst of the encircling Word Bearers Traitor Legion. The Hammer has been in service with the Chapter for over 8,000 Terran years and has its own special place within the Salamander's Reliquary. At the dawn of each new standard century, the Chapter's Techmarines gather in the Reliquary and the Master of the Forge strikes the vehicle's activation rune upon the vehicle's engine. It is said that if the engine does not start on the first time, then doom shall befall the Salamanders. When an additional, manually-operated, pintle-mounted weapon is equipped, the Deimos Rhino's remote-operated Bolters are combined into a single mount. Arquitor Bombards are mobile artillery vehicles based on the Sicaran chassis, carrying heavy bombard weapons into battle to pound enemy positions as it advances alongside an infantry wave. The graviton-charge cannon blankets a wide area with a lethal gravimetric field, crushing those caught within and turning open ground into a quagmire. This resin and plastic kit contains new vehicle sponsons, allowing every option on the Arquitor Bombard datasheet for the first time.
