Solar Auxilia - Basilisk/Medusa (31-79)

The Medusa and Basilisk artillery tanks employed by the Solar Auxilia are armoured bombardment platforms, their heavy guns mounted on a hull derived from the Leman Russ. Enclosed against enemy fire and protected from the hazardous atmospheres of toxic or alien worlds, these mobile siege batteries can keep pace with the cohort's advance, pummelling the foe's positions even as main line units move to engage any survivors.

This multipart plastic kit builds one Solar Auxilia Basilisk or Medusa, an armoured artillery tank mounted with a powerful siege gun. The Basilisk's long-barrelled Earthshaker cannon hurls explosive shells across incredible distances, while the Medusa's mortar fires munitions heavy enough to shatter mighty walls. The tank has a fully detailed interior, and the rear door and roof can be opened to reveal two crew loading its siege gun. Both the gun and rear door feature glueless assembly options, allowing you to adjust their positions mid-game.

The tank's forward hatch can be assembled with closed doors, or opened for a Solar Auxilia spotter or gunner with a pintle-mounted weapon – a heavy flamer, multi-laser, or heavy stubber. The kit includes components to upgrade your Basilisk or Medusa with a hunter-killer missile and dozer blade, and you'll also find cosmetic options such as sigils and a choice of gunner heads.

This kit comprises 187 plastic components, as well as a Solar Auxilia Vehicle Transfer Sheet containing 180 waterslide transfers. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
