Astraeus

Astraeus is a Vehicles unit in the Space Marines faction for Warhammer 40k.

Points: 525.

The most deadly of these is the twin macro-accelerator cannon, capable of unleashing high-calibre ferro-carbide slugs that can shred tanks, aircraft and ground troops. Meanwhile, its void shields can shrug off even the most concerted enemy retaliations.

Standard kit: This model is equipped with: 2 Astraeus las-rippers; ironhail heavy stubber; storm bolter; twin heavy bolter; twin macro-accelerator cannon; armoured hull.
