Sergeant Chronus has an innate ability for all things mechanized, where most Marines focus on a particular vehicle, he just does it all!
If you want your tanks to run at full capacity, you need this guy around! He has single-handedly won countless battles for the Ultramarines with insane skills. He also never backs down from learning a new vehicle and let’s be honest, they are always getting them! Get out your favorite tank and let’s learn about some Sergeant Chronus lore!
A Brief History
Just getting assigned to an armory is something to be proud of! Because it is no small feat to be entrusted with the Chapter’s most powerful and rarest weapons. Where most Marines take this seriously and make the tank a part of themselves. Chronus takes the craft to a new level, however. Not only does he know every weapon and tank in the arsenal, he knows how far he can push them, or alter them to his needs. If he is commanding a tank in battle, it is not going down!
He first garnered some notoriety when he was piloting the Predator Rage of Antonius. His tank had taken a battery of hits from Necron Gauss Cannons, but you think that stopped him? Of course not! He finished his mission and forced the entire Necron army to retreat before he let his tank stop running!
Highly Accomplished
That was just the start of his accomplishments though! He is such a master when it comes to tanks he has even been anointed the Spear of Macragge. That title dates back to before the Horus Heresy and is only given to the Ultramarines best Tank Commander. He has his pick of the litter when it comes to what he wants to ride into battle in. Whatever his little hearts’ desire, he can have. Because of his skill, he also only has to answer to the Chapter Master. If he says ram your tank into lava, you better do it!
That does it for this quick history! Just an interesting figure that doesn’t get enough love.
