Index Astartes: Deep Strike

THE SHORT VERSION

Graham McNeill traces Tactical Dreadnought armour from hazardous-environment exo-suits into a scarce and revered Space Marine weapon. He explains its life support, sensors, heavy weapon fittings and difficult training requirements, then considers how teleportation and Land Raiders compensate for the armour’s limited agility.

The Ultramarines’ destruction at Macragge and the Grey Knights’ attack on Angron illustrate its use in desperate close combat. A Space Wolf vignette demonstrates its extraordinary protection, while the Deathwing’s distinctive equipment and the Crux Argentum place individual suits within Chapter traditions and honours.
