Space Marine Land Speeder Storm

A modified skimmer carries Scouts into dangerous positions. Its stretched chassis gains an extra thruster and a launcher intended to disrupt enemies before the passengers attack. Six crew and passenger figures make the vehicle unusually animated. Weapon choices and equipment allow the collector to adapt it to a particular force.
