After the Heresy, the newer \u003cstrong\u003eMars-pattern Rhino\u003c\/strong\u003e became the standard for the Adeptus Astartes Chapters, though older Deimos-pattern vehicles continued to exist as revered relics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTabletop Model History:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Rhino made its debut in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game in \u003cstrong\u003e1988\u003c\/strong\u003e. It was one of the first large plastic vehicle kits released by Games Workshop and was initially quite versatile, seeing use with Space Marines, Imperial Army, Squats, Orks, and even Eldar Harlequins. This original kit, known as the \u003cstrong\u003eRTB12 Rhino\u003c\/strong\u003e, remained in production until \u003cstrong\u003e2002\u003c\/strong\u003e, serving as the chassis for numerous other iconic vehicles such as the Predator, Razorback, Vindicator, Whirlwind, and Immolator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRhino in 2026:\u003c\/strong\u003e As of current 2026 rules listings, the Space Marine Rhino typically costs \u003cstrong\u003e70 points\u003c\/strong\u003e as a transport in the game. There have been reports that Games Workshop is gradually retiring some older Firstborn Space Marine vehicles. While the Rhino is a venerable and iconic unit, its exact long-term status can depend on specific codex updates and whether it's being used in standard matched play or the \"Legends\" format, which often houses older or out-of-production models. Despite any potential shifts, the Rhino remains a cornerstone of many Space Marine forces and a beloved piece of Warhammer 40,000 history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarhammer 40K Space Marine Rhino from Leicestershire Airsoft\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeicestershire Airsoft is a Leicester based company.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeicestershire Airsoft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnit 2, Queniborough Industrial Estate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(behind the BP petrol station)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1487 Melton Road\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQueniborough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeicestershire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLE7 3FP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOpening times..\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThursday 10-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriday 10-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaturday 10-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Quenibourough store is Leicestershire based are proud to offer a diverse selection of Warhammer products to cater to every enthusiast's needs.
