he venerable Land Raider has served the forces of the Astartes since their earliest beginnings, with countless variants and patterns recorded in the data-stacks of Mars. Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus collectively refer to the oldest of these as the ‘Proteus’ patterns, relics from a time when this phenomenally-powerful armoured transport was a mere scouting vehicle, used to explore hostile and hazardous worlds in humanity's Golden Age. Regarded by many as the finest war machine in the Imperium's arsenal, the Land Raider is all but impervious even to heavy weapons, and can operate freely in war zones ranging from acid swamps to rad-deserts.

This multipart resin kit builds one Land Raider Proteus, a mighty battlefield transport employed by the Legiones Astartes. Among the earliest known variants of Land Raider, the Proteus Explorator eschews a frontal assault ramp in favour of a formidable dozer blade for traversing broken terrain. The vehicle is armed with two sets of paired lascannons mounted in bulky armoured sponsons, as well as a twin-linked heavy bolter built into its hull – and features two transport doors set into the sides of its hull. The kit also includes cosmetic towing hooks and a decorative aquila.

This kit comprises 47 resin components. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Colour paints.
