Super-Heavy Armoured Regiment

To be entrusted with the care of a hallowed superheavy tank is one of the greatest honours that might befall a squad. Super-heavy armoured regiments are rare in comparison to other types of armoured regiments, and tend to come only from worlds with close ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus. While an honour, the duty of shepherding a super-heavy tank comes with great weight of responsibility. These mighty engines of war are no mere vehicles, but divine instruments of Omnissiah’s wrath. The crew of these vehicles must always respect the fearsome machine spirits within. Such regiments must also strive to protect these mighty adamantine beasts from harm; no small feat, seeing as super-heavy tanks such as Baneblades, Stormlords, and Shadowswords are likely to be deployed in the thickest and most dangerous fighting.
