Kratos Heavy Assault Tank

Sons of Horus Legion, Amytastarak Support Reserve Formation, Vth squadron

 

 

The Kratos Heavy Assault Tank is based on an ancient Terran pattern fielded during the Unification of Old Earth, redesigned after the Emperor signed the Treaty of Mars with the Tech-Priests of the ancient Martian Mechanicum to serve as the spearhead of the Great Crusade. It was intended to be a line-breaker and foe hammer extraordinaire. This grinding main battle tank is all but impervious to enemy fire, and its steady, inexorable advance provided an indomitable core to any assault by the Legiones Astartes, enforced by a barrage of overwhelming firepower.

 

 

The Kratos originally served as a dedicated infantry support tank and the powerful shells of its heavy cannon could quickly open a path through massed enemies for any Astartes or mortal support infantry that followed in its wake. However, the Kratos was determined to be obsolete in the final years of the Great Crusade and was later retired from active service when the Legiones Astartes began to favour faster, more multi-purpose armoured vehicles such as the ubiquitous Predator tank, a fate similiar to that of the mighty Stormbirds or the dreaded Lucifer Pattern Dreadnoughts. 

 

That said, the demand of the Horus Heresy would see vehicles formerly utilised in reserve formations used again for frontline services, while new numbers of Kratos Heavy Assault Tanks would be produced by both sites in a fight of astartesean warfare.

Thank ya! I'm actually done with the first wave for my Sons of Horus, so next I'll work a bit more on my Legio Mortis and Traitor Knights, 'till I get my hands on some support boxes and Spartans!

Impressive force already  I think seeing the force laid out like that really sells one of the things I like about the epic system: massive armies. You did a great job here!
