{"product_id":"adeptus-mechanicus-ironstrider","title":"Adeptus Mechanicus:  Ironstrider","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn Ironstrider is a distinctive, two-legged bipedal walking tank used by the Skitarii legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus in Warhammer 40,000. It is powered by the legendary Ironstrider Engine, a perpetual motion machine designed by the techno-archaeologist Tech-Priest Aldebran Bour. Because the secrets of its construction have been lost to time, these walkers are never turned off; they are left running endlessly on vast treadmills when not deployed in active combat zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tabletop game and lore, the multi-part plastic model kit can be built as one of two highly specialized battlefield configurations:1. Ironstrider BallistariusThis variant serves as a mobile, fast-moving artillery platform designed for long-range target assassination and armor piercing.The Pilot: Features a cybernetic Skitarii gunner standing in an exposed stirrup harness over the machine, hard-wired into the platform's advanced target-acquisition telemetry.Weapons Options: Can be equipped with either a twin-linked Cognis Autocannon for cutting down elite infantry or a twin-linked Cognis Lascannon for taking down heavy enemy tanks.2. Sydonian DragoonThis variant functions as a fast attack, shock-cavalry unit meant to scout ahead and smash directly into enemy frontlines. The Pilot: The Skitarii rider sits directly astride the walker like a traditional cavalryman, steering the mechanical beast into close-quarters melee combat.  Weapons Options: Typically armed with a high-voltage Taser Lance that releases explosive kinetic energy upon impact, or a Radium Jezail for toxic, mid-range sniper support. It is also shrouded by an incense-spewing exhaust pipe that acts as a smoke screen to distort enemy aim.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48008600682690,"sku":null,"price":78.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/1868\/0770\/files\/download_7.jpg?v=1783103130","url":"https:\/\/gamersemporium.ca\/products\/adeptus-mechanicus-ironstrider","provider":"Gamers Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
