Ahadiel and his four strong command squad trave in the standard Phobos pattern land raider. Their role is n support of Fabian during assaults while the vehicle itself has immense fire power in the fire support role. Ahadiel has obviously made modificatiosn to the interior of his command vehicle to enable the imprisonment and rapid interrogation of any captured enemy, especially those of the fallen brothers. |
Providing the heavy and long range fire support for Strike Force Fabian are two venerated battle brothers, interrd in their sarcophagus for eternity. Their battle prowess and deeds in their mortal life had ensured their continued service to the chapters within their adamantium tombs. Armed for fire support they have eschewed their close combat arms, the devastating effects of lascannon and autocannon are supported by their missile launchers. |
