Forgeworld Legion Falchion Superheavy Tank Destroyer

Falchion Superheavy Tank Destroyer

The Falchion uses a potent weapon which combines technologies fielded in the Fellblade and the Shadowsword super-heavy tank. The Falchion’s twin-mounted Volcano cannon is one of the most powerful vehicle-mounted, anti-tank weapons in the Imperium’s arsenal and it requires such an investment in resources to construct just a single example that its use is limited to the Legiones Astartes. Even then, the Falchion is so rare that most Legions maintain but a handful, reserved for use against the largest of enemy war machines.

The Falchion was developed long before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy and as such its prey was not the enemy Titans it would later see such extensive combat against. As the Great Crusade expanded ever outward, the Expeditionary fleets encountered a staggering array of foes, some of whom were of a truly gargantuan scale, but all were set to ravening flame by the touch of the Falchion’s Volcano cannon.

The rules for the Falchion, as well as many other exciting new models, can be found in the forthcoming book The Horus Heresy Book Three: Extermination.

A limited quantity of this multi-part resin kit, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, will be available to purchase at the Forge World Open Day. The Legion Falchion Super-heavy Tank Destroyer will go on general release in the next few weeks.

Beast!

So is that going to be TWO volcano cannons or a twin linked volcano cannon? Either way my space wolves want one. ^_^

Given how the Macharius battle cannon and Fellblade accelerator cannon work... I would suspect it'll be one shot with a 7" blast.

Judging from the front view, the mantlet appears to be below the top of the tank. Does this tank have a turret?

This tank makes me wet.

No; the Falchion is a Legion-upgraded Shadowsword, which is also turretless.

Do we know the stats on the main gun yet? Is it a Volcano cannon that's twin linked or is is 2 shots?

I'm picking up one of these for my Blacklegion/sons of horus, looks amazing. Can't wait to throw this thing into my next Apoc game and go Superheavy hunting!

I like it, but there are a few details that are just odd- why are there accelerator autocannon power supplies stuck to the sides of the turret?
