Today’s unboxing is on the new “Pre-Heresy” Style Rhino Mk1 from Forge World.
Recently, Forge World put out this kit and to go along with all the Pre-Heresy style Marks of armor they have been releasing over the past few years.
For us “old timers” this kit looks familiar to us because it’s styling is almost exactly the same as the old plastic kit of the same name.
Recently I posted Flashback Friday article on the Second Edition Space Wolves Codex, that had a nice picture of the old MK1 Rhino for us to compare.
Not too shabby indeed! I love how they kept the front “dozer” blade true. I also like the new smoke stack styling on the Forge World version way better than the old plastic kit.
The Kit
Rhino MK1 available for 33 pounds (~$53) from Forge World.
This pattern is armed with two turret-mounted bolters, slaved to the target-logis systems of the Rhino’s machine spirit, rather than the pintle-mounted storm bolter seen on the later MkIIc design. The MkIc Deimos Pattern Rhino, designed by Daren Parrwood, is a complete resin and plastic kit that contains a standard Games Workshop Rhino kit as well as sufficient resin conversion components to construct the MkIc Deimos Pattern variant. -Courtesy FW’s site
Unboxing
For now though, enjoy the video of this armor kit. Oh and don’t forget to checkout my Rhino/Predator Reinforced Upgrade kit from last week. -MBG
