Designed to punch through enemy lines and deliver elite infantry directly into the heart of the conflict, this imposing vehicle commands the battlefield with raw, industrial menace. Available in both wheeled and tracked variants, each version captures a distinct tactical identity while sharing the same aggressive, heavily armoured silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSculpted by AtlanForge, this physical resin miniature arrives with supports already removed and surfaces cleaned, ready for assembly and painting. The level of surface detail is exceptional, featuring riveted armour plating, side-mounted weapon sponsons, a multi-barrelled rotary turret, sensor clusters, heavy chains, ventilation grilles, and a fully detailed rear access ramp. A scale figure is included in some shots to convey the sheer size of this carrier, which sits comfortably in the 28mm to 32mm scale range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vanguard Assault Carrier is ideal for players building large-scale grimdark infantry forces that require a credible and visually dominant transport option. Whether you field it as a frontline APC or a command vehicle for veteran squads, it brings immediate presence to any collection. Squad size is 1 vehicle per kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts fit together cleanly with standard super glue. Minor cleanup with fine sandpaper may be needed at contact points before gluing. Plastic cement is not suitable as this is a resin kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePainting Guide: Vanguard Assault Carrier\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis guide walks you through a battle-worn, campaign-hardened finish suited to the grim aesthetic of the Vanguard Assault Carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
