Similar to the Astartes “Legacies of Glory” the new Imperial Armor 13 looks to have it’s own more sinister special rules.
Looks like not only are they for being present at significant battles throughout the long war, some allow the vehicle to become a vessel for a Daemon!

Crikey. Blimey. Fingers tired. Hopefully that’s enough for you to salivate over (and hopefully not rage over. I like the rules, but as above, have no objective opinion as to points and effectiveness. I just think the rules sound cool
Very cool, can’t wait for the book to hit. This fall seems to be all about Chaos! Now where’s that Horus Heresy book IV?
