Warhammer 40000: Chaos: Defiler

Defilers are Daemon Engines possessed by abominable entities – towering creations that stomp across battlefields on piston-driven legs, slaying enemies with claws capable of cutting a Space Marine in half. Foes are not safe at range either, as the Defiler inflicts a trail of carnage with its cannon and other heavy weapons.

Defile the Galaxy

This multipart plastic kit builds a Defiler, a terrifying amalgamation of daemon and machine for your Chaos Space Marines, Death Guard, Emperor's Children, Thousand Sons, and World Eaters armies in games of Warhammer 40,000. Standing at an intimidating 150mm on the tabletop, hard to kill, and armed with a variety of devastating weapons, they can turn the tide of battle in your favour.

Daemon and Machine in Unholy Alliance

Your mighty walker is easy to customise – there are poseable legs, armour, and chest options, 3 sets of carapace armour, interchangeable exhaust pipes, 2 sets of shoulder pads, 2 sets of torso trim, and 3 pieces of rubble to help with posing. There are 10 face plates to choose from – one each for the Iron Warriors, Word Bearers, World Eaters, Thousand Sons, Emperor’s Children, and Death Guard, plus 4 others suitable for any Chaos Space Marines force.

The chest of the Defiler can be fitted with a devastating Defiler cannon or a balefire-shooting ectoplasma destructor. There are also secondary torso-mounted weapons – your choice of excruciator cannons or magma cutters. You can attach a heavy reaper autocannon, Hades lascannon, or heavy baleflamer on the right hard point and a heavy reaper autocannon, Hades lascannon, or missile launcher on the left hard point. There is also an optional electroscourge, which can be assembled on either side, meaning you can kit out your Daemon Engine to take on any target.
