Sternguard with relic Missile Launcher

Description

Sternguard Devastator carrying a relic Missile Launcher. This ancient Missile Launcher was acquired during the Imperial Harriers desperate fight for survival when they crash landed on what is now their homeworld. It dates back to possibly before even the Horus Heresy and is magazine fed to allow for multiple targets to be engaged quickly.

The planet the Imperial Harriers now call home is still cloaked in mystery, its secrets kept closely by the Harriers as well as their father Chapter, the Raven Guard. It is known that the world was originally an Imperial world that, after being isolated by warp storms, fell to some form of Xenos or Chaos persuasion. Much of the Harriers equipment is unusual in its design though recognisably Imperial, so it is thought that there is a limited manufacturing infrastructure on the planet. The dense forest covering visible from space, however, makes it unlikely to have been a forge world.

There are no custom parts on this guy, just a big, old missile launcher I got from a bitz site. I think its from Forgeworld originally. I like it because it reminds me of the first time I saw a space marine, when my older brothers got Space Crusade, all the missile launchers looked like this with the big top loading magazine.

It's an old Rogue Trader-era Launcher from the mid-80's. Forge World now do a version for Heresy-era Marine armies as an upgrade kit for regular/devastator marines.
