    Sheesh, they might as well have called it the Great Hammering Penis-shaped thing. Phallic much, FW?

    Twin linked multi-melta sponsons, and a thunderfire cannon where the assault cannon normally goes.

    EDIT: I don't know what the transport capacity is, though.

    Yeah, when I first read about the Achilles, I was like...- finally, firepower that deserves AV14!, and then I thought - man, that will suck to go up against!.

    I love that it's a big gold brick for the minos in this shot.

    The rules are available for download here:

    http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Download...a/achilles.pdf


    Transport capacity = 6 models


    OK, this is just wrong (which, translated to English means, "I now want one"):

    Ferromantic Invulnerability: The hull of the Achilles has been specially
    constructed to resist even the most determined assault and is almost
    preternaturally resilient. As a result, the Land Raider Achilles is not
    subject to the particular effects of the Lance and Melta special rules
    by attacks made against it. In addition it reduces the effects of all rolls
    on the damage chart made against it (other than by Destroyer type
    weaponry), by -1.

    To err is human, to forgive is not SAC policy.

    He can play Forgeworld against Paul all day with them, too.

    At a capacity of 6, it's basically an enormous razorback on 'roids rather than an actual land raider. Also, here's something amusing:
    A Land Raider Achilles is a also Heavy Support choice in a Codex Space Marines,
    Codex Black Templars, Codex Space Wolves or Codex: Dark Angels army.
    Lol blood angels? Guess these super-tough land raiders weren't designed for orbital insertion...
