Rhino Transport Tank
The Rhino is an Imperial Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) that is widely used throughout the galaxy by many different factions. The Rhino is a mainstay vehicle of the Adeptus Astartes. It has provided safe
transportation since the days of the Great Crusade, transporting its cargo of Space Marines swiftly and safely to the forefront of battle. Robust and versatile, and able to resist the most hostile of environments, the Rhino has become the basic troop transport for Space Marine squads. It has also been used by many other trusted branches of the Imperial armed forces, including the Adeptus Mechanicus, Adepta
Sororitas, Adeptus Arbites, Adeptus Custodes, and the forces of the Inquisition.

Predator Tank
The Predator Destructor is the main battle tank employed by the Space Marines of the Imperium of Man and the Traitor Legions of the Chaos
Space Marines. It is a more heavily armed and armoured version of
the Rhino armoured personnel carrier. The Predator Destructor is the most common variant of the Predator used by the Space Marines.
All Rhino and Predator variants are based off of designs originally created during the Dark Age of Technology, using Standard Template Construct (STC) database designs. The tanks can be constructed on Forge Worlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus or in a Space Marine Chapter's own forges, and afterwards they are sent to the Chapter's Armoury until they are needed. A Space Marine Chapter will usually maintain around 20 to 30
Predators of all types at a time. The Master of the Forge is responsible for all the vehicles of a Chapter, and upon request will issue these vehicles where and to whom they are needed.

Land Raider
The standard Land Raider, also known as the Land Raider Phobos, is
an Imperial main battle tank and troop transport which serves as the "armoured fist of the Space Marines." Available to the Space Marines,
the Traitor Legions of the Chaos Space Marines and the forces of the Inquisition, it is one of the most resilient and iconic vehicles in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Land Raider's heritage predates even the founding of the Imperium of Man, yet it remains the single most destructive weapon in the Adeptus Astartes' arsenal. Protected by bonded Ceramite and Adamantium armour, the Land Raider is nearly
impervious to all save the most destructive weaponry. Equally impressive are the Land Raider's armaments: 2 Twin-linked Lascannons and a Twin-linked Heavy Bolter allow the Land Raider to deliver punishing fire support capable of decimating enemy infantry and armour alike.

Dreadnaught
A Dreadnought is a cybernetic combat walker of intermediate size used by the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes as heavy infantry support for their Space Marine
companies. Even the superhuman Space Marines are still mortal and can fall in
battle despite legends to the contrary amongst the common people of the Imperium of Man. When the greatest of the Astartes are crippled in combat the
Battle-Brother's body will be repaired and transferred into an armoured
cybernetic sarcophagus outfitted with extensive life support systems. This
sarcophagus is then interred within the heart of the armoured body of a Dreadnought if there is even a spark of life left. The Space Marine within the sarcophagus will control the robotic body of the walker and experience the outside world through cybernetic neural links and sensors implanted within his life support systems. Dreadnoughts are often mistaken by observers to be huge suits of battle armour or robots; they are similar to both and yet neither. Dreadnoughts are a combination of armoured walker and cybernetic life-support system; their pilots are neurally linked straight into the Dreadnought's cybernetic systems, and are able to use the walker as if it were their own body, although they are permanently entombed within its Ceramite skin until they are destroyed.
