Forge World Show How People Went to War in Pre-Heresy Days
October 26, 2012 by dracs
Forge World have released a couple of Pre-Heresy era Space Marine Vehicles for you to make use of this ancient and forgotten tech.
These Scimitar Pattern Jetbikes have a great bulky and functional look to them, which definitely matches with the Space Marine style of the time.
However, they look like they would take about a day to turn around and bring that front mounted gun to bear. A regular bike would probably end up being more practical.
If bikes aren't your thing than the heavy fire power of this Typhon Heavy Siege Tank surely is.
Designed to the specifications of the master of siege himself, Primarch Perturabo, this tank was designed to have the fire power of an Imperial Guard vehicle and the manoeuvrability of a Space Marine tank.
Definitely two welcome additions to any Space Marine commander who fancies playing out the battles of the Great Crusade and the infamous Horus Heresy.
Would you be tempted to play games set in this period? How do you think they might differ?

I hope I don’t just have a dirty mind, but those jetbikes look just a bit phallic to me. I do like the seemingly huge engines though.
No its just you @dais.
Once seen can never be unseen.
I agree, they’re definitely overcompensating for something!
I love the jetbikes, feel a lot more 40k than regular bikes 🙂
YOU LOT!!! I loved until I read those comments…………….
The Typhon Heavy Siege Tank is one of the ugliest things iv seen…
Perturabo couldn’t have been very smart building a tank that holds 4 shells, maybe 5 if you stretch it
I would like to see what they do with this period for the imperial guard. Whilst the SM would have a lot of shiney stuff, the ImperiaL Guard have access to a lot more advanced technology, such as jet bikes. Speeders, bolt guns, etc
Also, it would be good to see if there were some IG units set up as a per-cursor to Space Marines (as I believe would happen) this would include a rudimentary powered armour, dreadnaught, etc plus a force structure based on the SM
