Description

The Aeneas is an extremely rare STC design, dating from the chaotic Post-Heresy period and is produced on less than a dozen worlds. The Aeneas is a squat, angular six-wheeled vehicle with slightly less armor than a Chimera but with the agility and handling of a wheeled vehicle. The Aeneas’ armament is perfect for highly-mobile warfare with a turret-mountedΒ  Executioner-pattern plasma cannon, a missile launcher, and both bow and pintle-mounted heavy stubbers. The Aeneas is commonly issued to Imperial Guard units specializing in armored reconnaissance and hit-and-run tactics where speed is of the essence. This vehicle often replaces Sentinel and Salamander squadrons in other regiments. Variants include mortar and multiple launch rocket vehicles, anti-aircraft, and a tank hunter mounting the feared Vanquisher cannon.

Kudos to Secret Weapon Miniatures for the idea.

A nice AFV by the way.
However, one thing seems highly unlikely for it - it's the Executioner plasma cannon. First of all, such cannons are only constructed on forge-world of Ryza (while powerful, such cannons are prone to overheating and meltdown and generally fallen out of favour), secondly - such cannon may even "not fit" into a vehicle considerably smaller than Leman Russ MBT.

It isn't quite the same size as the Executioner. Though Ryza is the main builder, the Forge World Imperial Armor books state a handful of other worlds also make plasma weaponry. Besides, I like it.

Now that is Armour Fighting Vehicle, sadly I've been super busy with work to keep up with writings and even then I've scrape a few stories when I can write.

Enjoy your work, keep it up please.

I will try to make some more but my current job is leaving my life a little crazy and time is at a premium.

Gosh, I absolutely love these pictures

I actually based one of the tanks of the Codex I made (Sons of the Fall) in one of your pictures.
