Warhammer 40K Tau Empire Hammerhead Gunship

TAG     : Warhammer 40K Tau Empire Hammerhead Gunship
GAME : Warhammer 40K

The Hammerhead Gunship is a versatile and heavily armed hover tank designed for both frontline engagement and long-range support. Its sleek, aerodynamic design allows it to traverse various terrains with ease, while its advanced weaponry makes it a significant threat on the battlefield. The Hammerhead is not just a vehicle; it is a symbol of the Tau Empire's technological prowess and their philosophy of the "Greater Good."

The Hammerhead Gunship features a distinctive, elongated chassis with a low profile, making it a difficult target to hit. Key features include:

Railgun: The Hammerhead's primary weapon, the railgun, is capable of delivering devastating firepower. It fires high-velocity projectiles that can penetrate even the toughest armor, making it ideal for taking out enemy vehicles and fortifications from a distance.

Smart Missile System: This secondary weapon system allows the Hammerhead to engage multiple targets simultaneously. The smart missiles can track and home in on enemies, providing a reliable means of dealing with infantry and light vehicles.

Decoy Launchers and Disruption Pods: To enhance its survivability, the Hammerhead is often equipped with defensive systems such as decoy launchers, which create false targets to confuse enemy fire, and disruption pods that make it harder for enemies to hit the vehicle.

Transport Capacity: While primarily a gunship, the Hammerhead can also carry a small squad of Fire Warriors or other Tau units, allowing it to provide tactical support in various combat scenarios.

The Hammerhead Gunship kit is an impressive centrepiece to a collection of T'au Empire miniatures. Notable about the kit is the laterally extended nose, the tips of which can feature a pair of burst cannons or smart missiles systems. Its sleek panels curve up towards a wider body that can support a fearsome turret-mounted gun – either a railgun or ion cannon – which can swivel in different directions. It features two vectored engines, which can also be tilted at various angles. The kit also comes with a pair of optional weapon upgrades in the form of powerful seeker missiles.

This multipart plastic kit contains 88 components and a T'au transfer sheet, and can be assembled as either a Hammerhead Gunship or a Sky Ray Gunship.

This kit comes supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour Paints.
