The Waldheim Dragoons<\/a>, an armoured mercenary regiment, use the missile armed A2 variant<\/a> of the Icarus M2 blower tank – the same vehicle that equips the Slammers regiment<\/a>, but with different armament. These are supported by the lighter M56 Daedalus medium tank along with two slightly different air-defence variants. These models came out in 15mm last year, today we’re following with the 6mm versions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Daedalus is speedy hover tank, armed with a 10cm powergun and a 2cm tribarrel on the commander’s hatch. The M564 Calliope carries no fewer than four linked tribarrel gatlings, which in Crucible terms amounts to a massive 12 shots per turn! The M562 variant has the same turret as the M564, but is armed with two rapid fire lasers (still amounting to eight shots per turn) and a pair of Manta light missiles for taking on more heavily armoured targets.<\/p>\n

Crucible playsheets<\/a> for the Waldheim Dragoons can be found on the Hammer’s Slammers website (along with many others).<\/p>\n
