Legions Imperialis

The Arvus Lighter is a solid and reliable workhorse shuttle, affectionately referred to as ‘Little Pig’ among air crews. The Solar Auxilia employ these durable craft as unarmed combat transports, to insert officers and specialists into a war zone with pinpoint accuracy.

The Baneblade is a super-heavy tank outfitted with a bewildering array of weapons, even for a vehicle of its prodigious size. Each Baneblade serves as a mobile bastion, as well as a symbol of pride to those who march alongside it. The Baneblade hull also serves as the basis for a number of more specialised variants employed by the Solar Auxilia – including the Hellhammer, which exchanges the standard Baneblade battlecannon with a Hellhammer cannon that sacrifices range for increased destructive capabilities.

Even in the Age of Darkness, the monumental architecture of the fledgling Imperium tends towards impressive edifices, a combination of baroque and gothic elements mixed with militaristic structures designed to stand in even the harshest environments.

Dire Wolf Heavy Scout Titans are sturdier and more heavily armoured than their Warhound cousins, and function as ambushers in Legio Titanicus battlegroups. Dire Wolves hunker down in forward positions to ambush and obliterate key targets with precise shots from their primary dorsal weapon, while their pintle-mounted arm weapons offer some defence against lesser targets, allowing the Heavy Scout Titans to focus on lining up a firing solution.

Leman Russ battle tanks are incredibly versatile armoured assets, their turrets mounted with a variety of powerful weapons to overwhelm any foe that dares to oppose the Solar Auxilia. Exterminator autocannons produce a withering hail of fire to obliterate entire formations of enemy infantry, while the Annihilator variant excels at pinpoint lascannon strikes to slice through armoured columns.

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 Mechanicum fights like no other force in the Age of Darkness. Their armies rely on the esoteric power of barely understood machines to unleash terrible destructive energies upon their foes. They have little regard for the effects on the human components of their army, or what's left of them.

The Reaver Titan is one of the most ubiquitous and destructive classes of Battle Titan, a gargantuan war machine that forms the heart of the Titan Legions, holding the line or leading the charge as their Princeps demand. Whether unleashing awesome thermal blasts from a melta or volcano cannon, spitting beams of death from a turbo-laser destructor, or closing in to shred heavy armour with a roaring chainfist, the Reaver leaves enemies with one choice: flee or die.

The Sicaran is a fast-moving destroyer tank designed to outflank enemy formations before unleashing an overwhelming onslaught of mid-range firepower, with its rugged chassis supporting a number of weapon variants fielded throughout the Legions

The Solar Auxilia are the elite corps of the Imperial Army, recruited from all across the galaxy. The soldiers of the Solar Auxilia are equipped with the weapons and gear to persecute war in some of the harshest environments imaginable. Though outmatched individually by the mighty Space Marines, these troops are far greater in number and prepared to throw down their lives for the cause – whether sworn to the Golden Throne of Terra, or the ambition of the Imperium's rebellious Warmaster.

The Dracosan Armoured Transport is a heavily armed and highly durable personnel carrier, each large enough to accommodate a full strength Solar Auxilia Infantry Section, and tough enough to protect its cargo from all but the most intense of enemy fire.

The Storm Eagle Assault Gunship is a dedicated tactical strike unit primarily used deployed in a Legion's orbital assault and for low-level ground attack. Rugged and durable, the power of the Storm Eagle lies in its versatility, serving capably as a long-range transport, orbital shuttle, scout and as an interceptor in addition to its primary roles.

Termite Assault Drills are deployed against the most stubborn and intractable positions. These subterranean transports use a potent rock drill to pass swiftly below a planetary surface, employing a melta array to annihilate even the most resilient obstacles. When the Termites emerge, they deploy the complement of Legiones Astartes warriors carried within their hulls, unleashing them behind the unsuspecting enemy lines.

The Warbringer Nemesis Titan serves the Collegia Titanica in the role of heavy fire support. It mounts a single Warlord-scale weapon on its upper carapace and Reaver-scale weapons on its arms – sacrificing the speed, armour and manoeuvrability of a conventional Battle Titan in favour of firepower far in excess of its size. With a Mori quake cannon launching world-shaking shells of arcane power, the Warbringer Nemesis is a sight to inspire dread in all but the most battle-hardened enemy Princeps.

Warhounds are the smallest class of ‘true’ Titan, classed as Scout Titans in reference to their common operational role as vanguards to larger Titan battle groups, or support elements to lesser ground forces. When confronting enemy god-engines, Warhounds must rely on their speed, manoeuvrability, and pack tactics to bring down their larger counterparts.
