With a distinctive two-legged walking tank-shape, the artillery platform known as the Ironstrider Balistarius is a fearsome sight indeed. Gyroscopically balanced, with downlinks providing them with the sum knowledge of their enemies, the deadly accuracy of the Ironstrider Ballistarius would be the stuff of legend, were any survivors ever left to recall it.
As a mobile artillery weapons platform, the Ironstrider Ballistarius can be fitted with one of two armament options: a twin-linked cognis autocannon or a twin-linked cognis lascannon. The split-toed legs can be posed in two different configurations, with suspensors that can be modelled at differing angles, and the entire surface of the machine crawls with sensors, data collection modules and antennae. The gunner has four head options; three hooded and one rebreather.
This multi-part, 80-component plastic kit contains all the parts necessary to build either one Ironstrider Ballistarius or a Sydonian Dragoon, and features a small transfer sheet and a 105x70mm oval base.
Where the Ironstriders crewed by Dragoons are designed for lightning-fast assault and precision strikes, Ironstriders crewed by Skitarii Rangers are invariably used for fire support. Armed with cognis autocannons or cognis lascannons, these Ballistarii hunt down and destroy enemy vehicles, using their incredible speed to flank their targets and strike where the enemy’s armour is weakest.
Made from the same plastic kit as the Sydonian Dragoon, the Ironstrider Ballistarius comes with a host of options, including three different heads for the rider, a choice of twin-linked autocannons or twin-linked lascannons for its armament and a couple of different leg poses so you can make the Ironstriders in your unit look different to each other.
