Rapier Direct Fire Battery

Rapier Carriers bridge the gap between the Solar Auxilia’s man-portable firearms and vehicle-mounted cannons, allowing infantry sections to move heavy weapons to the front lines without the need for heavy and cumbersome tanks. The Rapier Fire Support Battery comes with two platforms, each able to mount one of two indirect fire weapons – the classic rapid-fire quad launcher, or the mole mortar, which fires its shells through the earth to explode beneath weaker armour plates.

Each platform also comes with a separate Gunner crew miniature, who has multiple cosmetic options.

There is also a version of the Rapier Carrier that focuses on direct-fire support weapons, with each of the two platforms able to mount a gravis heavy bolter battery, a gravis multi-laser array, or a laser destroyer. This gives infantry-based armies tools to tackle a wide variety of enemy units, from hordes of lesser chaff to heavy tanks – at a very competitive cost in points.
