War engines

Rules for huge vehicles of immense power.

How much like a god he is, that ancient machine, primal of all his kind! His mighty fists, massive like two towers of destruction, laden with the doom of mankind’s bitter foes. He watches over us now as battle joins, and in his shadow we shall advance upon our enemies and defeat them.

The battlefields of the 41^st Millennium are home to some awesomely large vehicles, many of which tower high above the battlefield and carry weapons batteries of terrifying potency. Most famous of all of these are the Titans created by the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Imperium, but there are many others including the Gargants fielded by Ork armies and the living Bio-Titans fielded by the Tyranids. We refer to all of these creations as war engines.

War engines include all very large machines, such as Ork Gargants, Imperial Titans, Imperial Guard Baneblades and Space Marine Thunderhawk Gunships.

Because of their huge size and awesome toughness, war engines are very different to other units. War engines follow the same movement rules as any other unit, but many other core game rules are modified when it comes to war engines.
