{"product_id":"ballistus-dreadnought-warhammer-40k-space-marines-mod-shop","title":"Ballistus Dreadnought | Warhammer 40K Space Marines | MOD Shop","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines Ballistus Dreadnought is a multipart plastic kit that builds one long-range fire-support walker for your army. Where the Brutalis Dreadnought charges into melee, the Ballistus is a walking gun emplacement — a fallen Chapter hero entombed in a shielded sarcophagus, piloting a war engine built to engage enemy armor and elite infantry from across the battlefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOn the tabletop, the Ballistus is one of the most reliable ranged threats in the Space Marine roster. Its lascannon cracks tanks while its missile launcher flexes between anti-infantry and anti-armor fire, making it a dependable backfield anchor that punishes high-value targets turn after turn. Because it's a core Adeptus Astartes vehicle, it slots into any Chapter or successor force — Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Deathwatch, Space Wolves, Black Templars, Imperial Fists, or a Chapter of your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor hobbyists, this is an approachable yet impressive build. The kit is push-fit and assembles without glue, so it's friendly to newer hobbyists, while the imposing chassis and 90mm base give painters a true centerpiece to show off battle damage, freehand, and Chapter iconography. It also pairs naturally with a Brutalis Dreadnought to cover both ranged and melee roles in one collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1 multipart plastic Ballistus Dreadnought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e21 plastic components (push-fit — assembles without glue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1x Citadel 90mm Round Hex Hole Base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e1x Space Marines Vehicles Transfer Sheet (325 transfers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSupplied unpainted — we recommend Citadel Colour paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuild \u0026amp; posing options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eArmed with a \u003cstrong\u003eBallistus lascannon\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eBallistus missile launcher\u003c\/strong\u003e on either side of the hull, plus a front-mounted \u003cstrong\u003etwin storm bolter\u003c\/strong\u003e and armored feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe weapon arms offer a degree of \u003cstrong\u003erotation\u003c\/strong\u003e, letting you pose the Dreadnought's firing arcs and stance so it always looks ready for action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePush-fit, glueless assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it quick to build and beginner-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThe included transfer sheet supports a wide range of Chapters straight out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this kit is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSpace Marine players of any Chapter who want dependable long-range firepower, collectors building a balanced force (especially alongside a melee Dreadnought like the Brutalis), and newer hobbyists who want an impressive centerpiece with a straightforward, glue-free build.
