Triaros Armoured Conveyer
- – Thomas the Armoured Conveyer, M41.950
The Triaros Armoured Conveyer is an armored vehicle used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. It was a transport vehicle for the Mechanicus, and like most Mechanicus trinkets, are never used outside of the Mechanicus.
Designed for hostile and dangerous environments, it is equipped with multiple galvanic traction drives and its defenses are comprised not only of heavy armour but also layered techno-cant wardlings and interlocking energy shields making it a tough nut to crack. Additionally, its armament consists of independently animated Weapons Servitors equipped with Volkite Sentinels and a Mauler Bolt Cannon which allows it to demolish infantry. Its storage bay can be hermetically sealed if needed, allowing the Triaros to be used in the hard vacuum of space and on the surfaces of lifeless worlds. Its most iconic feature however is a powerful reactor-fed Shock Ram mounted to its fore, which can be used to shatter and incinerate anything in contact with it. It also looks like the front end of a steam train, make what of that as you will.
Crunch[edit]
In the Horus Heresy tabletop, the Triaros Armoured Conveyer is not quite a CRASSUS, but close. 14/12/12, 4HP The thing comes standard with a flare shield for all that -1 goodness. It also gets a shock ram giving you AV15 on your front when ramming and does haywire damage. the shock ram also inflicts d6 S6 AP5 hits on any unit it tank shocks in addition to resolving the tank shock and the shock ram doesn't count as a weapon so can never be removed by weapon destroyed results on the damage chart. Carries 20 and re-rolls failed dangerous terrain tests. Give it lesser IWND for 5 points. 135. Awesome. Great for getting things close. The Spice must flow.
