Legion Land Raider Proteus

The Legion Land Raider Proteus served the First Legion as both battering ram and reliquary, a machine the knights of Caliban treated with the reverence owed an ancestral warhorse. Where later marks traded sensors for firepower, the Proteus retained its explorator augury, and the Dark Angels prized this above all: for a Legion that hoarded secrets, a tank that could hunt the unseen was worth a company of lesser engines. Draped in oath-scrolls and the heraldry of hooded champions, these Land Raiders carried Deathwing veterans through void and firestorm to the heart of an enemy line, their sponson lascannons scouring a path with cold precision. Crewed by serfs sworn to silence, each was a rolling chapel of the Order, and more than one carried relics of Caliban sealed within its hull. To face one was to face the First Legion's patient, remorseless will made iron.
