40k drop pod diorama
During a drop the Marines will experience over 10G, only their dual hearts keeping their brains oxygenated, so they ready for action moments after impact. Space Marines have a hard-connect on their backpack power unit to secure them in place. The riders (never referred to as passengers) are seated in a circle with their backs to the central core.
The central core contains the massive capacitor-cells and fusion engines needed to drive the various Power Field technologies: these being the Power Canopy, Pulsed Power Field Emitter and Stasis Field. Its inner workings include several converted Archeotech devices born in antiquity during the Dark Age of Technology. The content of this page is an unofficial re-image of 40K known as 'Philhammer' | Notes on Canon | Disclaimer | Games Workshop's IP Construction OverviewĪ Space Marine Drop Pod has a Cermet ( Adamantium-13) superstructure with a 'rivet and bond' Ceraplate inner, and ablative Ceraous outer, panels. About the only faction within the Imperium that utilise them are the legendary Space Marines, and this means the Drop Pods have become synonymous with Space Marine assaults. They are far too dangerous and precious to the Adeptus Mechanicus. These counter technologies are designed to save those within, but outside is a very different story: so powerful are these impacts that Drop Pods can be seen as much a weapon as a transport. The technologies use to counter the force of impact, and what would be fatal damage to the occupants, are a jealously guarded secret of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Drop Pods do not land in a conventional sense, instead the slam into the ground at extreme speed. The Drop Pod's sole purpose is to get its occupants (Space Marines) to the surface as fast as possible. Drop Pods have a completely different design objective to shuttles (or hybrid atmosphere/ space craft like the Thunderhawks). The fastest being the near instantaneous travel of teleporters. The champion got a little head swap from a grey knights hit just to make him look a little more chevalierĬolors that we used are from the Vallejo Game Color rangeDrops Pods are the second fastest way to reach the surface of a planet from orbit. The banner is a red scorpions banner from Forge world that was converted with a dremel. And thanks to my super new back drop the photos so look a bit nicer.
