The upper plate closes the hull and has a mount for the turret in it. As the Skorpius boxed set can be build either a tank or a transporter, we will start with the shared chassis, that both, the Disintegrator and Dunerider are based upon. As well as the ladder going onto the engine cover, and therefore would collide with the closed hull top from the Disintegrator. The front "bumper" may have a bit of tension, so it is best you add this one to the remaining hull before the glue settles.
The casting is properly done and it was way less trouble, than for example the rather aged Land Raider kit (it has been around for 20 years!). There are bars around most of the lower part of the hull. When I first saw this vehicle earlier this year announced at one of the Warhammer Events, I forgot about the actual purpose and directly went for the Underhive Swampferry. 01606 861903 | Unit 7, The Business Centre, Winsford, Cheshire, CW7 2GN. I can really see this guy in a dunecrawler as well. It can be build either as a Skorpius Disintegrator or Skorpius Dunerider. Part 90? I went for both closed hatches and maybe close the sides or at least remove the heavy stubbers and replace them with some small hatches. Conclusion It shares the servitor with the Dunerider, which makes magnetising this kit a bit of a problem. Grav-Attack Vehicle build by Rick Priestley. The Dunerider is build like a landing craft, with a huge ramp on the front. The Skorpius Dunerider is an Adeptus Mechanicus armoured troop transport, that uses barely understood, deadly technology from the Age of Darkness. With the updated Apocalypse rules for Warhammer 40,000 the Adeptus Mechanicus receives a battle tank and armoured transporter of their own, the Skorpius. Maybe a walking tank, like the mech tanks from some of the Pulp / Weird War settings would be a better fit, as the front loading barge like the World War 2 landing crafts. If some of the gaps seem a bit large, that is due to the fact, that they are not glued, just put into place to show you further below the second option of the Skorpius kit, the Dunerider.
Next up the turret of the Disintegrator. When I finished building the parts for both variants, I noticed that the part 90 is a spare and I didn't find the use for it in the instructions. I went in broader steps than the instructions, because as long as the glue hasn't settled yet, you can add pressure / move the parts a bit, to give it a snug fit. It can be assembled with a crewman set in one rear cupola, or with both hatches closed. The Skorpius is a Anti-Grav vehicle, similar to a hovercraft, and that shows due to the round frame around the lower part of the skimmer. The 60 EUR price range is a heavy hitter, a Rhino is half that, of course, much simpler design and less exciting, but even Chimera is still half the price.

If they did such a vehicle, it would be a Forge World Kit, it would cost around 70-80 EUR and I am not that keen on working with resin on a kit that size. As a Adeptus Mechanicus vehicle? Still, it is a nice kit, it went together great without hassle. The 60 EUR price tag is something that you can convince yourself for a single kit, but for my taste, 50 EUR would make that decision much easier. Maybe if they added 2-3 further crew man / about to embark, similar to the Genestealer Cult Goliath, it make the overall feeling a bit rounder.

The first thing we do is to close the hull, by adding a front that looks a bit similar to the ones the Mastodon or Spartan assault tanks have. And as every transporter it is nowhere near able to put in the same amount of miniatures on bases as the transport capacity says. It can be seen as an hommage to the original Grav-Attack Vehicle build by Rick Priestley. The prow has missile launchers on each side, and receives an additional bar on the front, closing the side pieces together.
