Dropfleet Commander - Scourge Monitors

Please Note these will arrive in NON Retail packaging.

Defence monitors are unusual ships for the Scourge, as they don’t conform to their aggressive tactics. As such, they have surprisingly few of them, leading some analysts to suggest that the Scourge were never expecting mankind to rally and strike back so spectacularly.

The Shedu class is actually a fairly typical monitor, offering the usual characteristics: low speed, high armour, high firepower. It lacks the ability to engage surface targets though, armed with a rare variant of
Oculus weapon technology, designed for engaging targets in higher orbital layers.

The Lamassu is little threat to attackers from without, but rather to invaders below. They are the smallest Scourge ships to carry bulk landers and are thought of as mobile, orbital barracks. During an invasion a Lamassu can drop thousands of troops whenever called upon. In order to support its charges, the Lamassu also features limited orbital bombardment capability, allowing it to soften up any landing zone that does have defences in place. During the Battle for Earth, orbital fire and incoming reinforcements from these otherwise innocuous small ships caught some UCM generals fatally unprepared.
