Warhammer 40,000 – Hippogriff AFV

PREORDER ONLY

RELEASE DATE JULY 11TH

The Hippogriff AFV ships standalone too this week, carrying its choice of vigilator cannon, chiron gatling cannon, melta cannon, or heavy lascannon. So Guard players finally have a fast-attack escort gun that actually shoots back, and the four weapon options mean you can spec it for anti-infantry, anti-armor, or a mix depending on the rest of the list.

The vigilator cannon’s blast profile is the one we’d expect to see most on the table, since it pairs well with the gatling cannon’s volume of fire on a flanking pair. Plus, the melta loadout gives Guard a smaller, cheaper anti-armor option than committing a full Leman Russ for the same job.

Hippogriff Armored Fighting Vehicle Hobby Tips

Magnetize the turret weapon. With four options in the box and only one model in the kit, you’ll either build one of each and live with it, or pin a magnet under the weapon mount and swap as needed. The hull design also rewards a sponge-weathering pass on the lower armor, since the Hippogriff sits low enough to read as field-rolled rather than parade-ground polished.
