Legions Imperialis: Spartan Assault Tanks

The Thunderhawk Gunship fulfils a number of roles within the Legiones Astartes, but primarily acts as a drop ship, soaring through both atmosphere and void space to deliver its deadly cargo of Space Marines. It is also a formidable weapons platform in its own right, however, equipped to scour landing zones and engage enemy aircraft.

The Legiones Astartes wield a staggering array of specialised war machines and weapon platforms, including heavy Dreadnoughts designed to add long ranged firepower, as well as line-breaking heavy assault variants. These assets are typically arranged as support detachments, deployed to enhance and complement the fearsome infantry and tanks of their Legion.

The Solar Auxilia are well equipped to engage in every theatre of battle, against every type of foe. Their adaptability is due in part to their training, but also the advanced wargear they bring to the front. When in need of heavy support from weapons too large for infantry to carry, their Tarantula and Rapier weapons platforms add additional firepower, while remote-controlled Cyclops tanks can be sent in to clear bunkers or even destroy heavy tanks.

The Malcador Infernus and Valdor Tank Hunter are both variants of the ubiquitous Malcador tank, using its resilient and mobile chassis to carry specialised heavy weaponry. The raw power of the Malcador Infernus is almost inescapable for its foes, as it shoots terrifying jets of all-consuming flame for extended periods. Conversely, the Valdor Tank Hunter focuses on hardened targets, living up to its name by unleashing its neutron beam laser on armoured vehicles to devastating effect.

The Land Raider is regarded by many as the finest armoured fighting vehicle of its class in the Imperium’s arsenal, and is the mainstay battle tank of the Space Marine Legions. It is a phenomenally powerful war machine, its multi-layered composite armour and reinforced hull all but impervious to even heavy weapons
