Horus Heresy

Many of the Legiones Astartes make heavy use of MkIV 'Maximus' power armour.

Zone Mortalis conflicts take place in confined environments beyond the support of tanks or the reach of artillery fire, and often are inaccessible to larger war machines.

The Whirlwind Missile Tank provides mobile fire support to the Legiones Astartes, destroying or heavily suppressing enemy forces in support of advancing Legionaries.

The Falchion was developed long before the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, and as such, its prey was not the enemy Titans it would later see extensive combat against.

The Spartan is a huge armoured conveyor whose purpose is to carry a large contingent of troops into the heart of the battle, weathering incoming fire that would be the death of any lesser vehicle.

Charonite Ogryns are biochemically and cybernetically altered abhumans. Mutilated in mind and body, they are creatures of brute obedience and drug-induced frenzy.

Before war came to Tallarn, few planets could match its splendour and abundance. Then the Iron Warriors came, and fewer planets still would be subject to such spite and ruin.

The Coronus Grav-carrier grants the Legio Custodes a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armour of the Imperium’s other hosts.

The Glaive is a super-heavy tank pattern based on the Fellblade, outfitted with a potent volkite carronade, a device of the Mechanicum whose design is said to have originated on Mars during the wars of the Age of Strife.

The Custodians are the finest warriors known to the Imperium, outfitted from the secret arsenals of the Emperor himself.

The Legiones Astartes deploy super-heavy assets when the need is great – massive battle tanks with weapons so powerful they can obliterate other war machines, and threaten even enemy Titans.

Myrmidon Destructors view combat as a method by which they might divine the will of the Omnissiah. However, they do so through the thunder of heavy guns, the blast of plasma, and the searing pulse of rad-flame.

Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Marshals are selected from the most compatible, often veteran, ordinators within a particular conclave.

Vultarax automata make use of a complex cortex unit that allows them to control the various gravitic impellers and jets that hold them aloft, and grant them more affinity for independent action.

The Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms are bound together as conclaves, and each of these war formations is led by an ordinator, an individual through which the will of the marshal is conducted.
