So what happens if you give a thirty-something woman - surrounded by [[World Eaters|psychotic murderers]] - full authority of a [[Gloriana-class Battleship|fuck-off huge starship]] during one of the biggest [[Horus Heresy|cluster fucks]] known to human kind? She commits murder - but not just any murder, ''oh [[Khorne]] no.'' The woman we speak of is none other than '''Lotara Sarrin''', who would go on to [[RIP AND TEAR|commit such an absurd amount of Warp-murder]] that she receives a mark of honour from [[Kharn|that swell guy]] and earns some level of respect from [[Angron|that other guy]].

Naturally, her status as a [[Mary Sue|bad-ass]] easily makes her good [[waifu]] material - that is if you like your 'waifus' [[Sisters of Battle|cold, aggressive and dominant]] <s>(which luckily I do)</s>, and don't mind the [[Heresy]].

'''TL;DR''': She's a low effort ripoff of Admiral Daala from the [[Star Wars]] books.

== History ==
The commanding officer of the World Eaters flagship Conqueror since she was 30, Lotara was one of the youngest ship officers in the Imperium. Despite her regular human status Lotara had a degree of respect within the World Eaters, wearing their bloody hand honor emblem and being on somewhat amicable terms with Angron himself. After Lotara complained about Remembrancers aboard her ship, [[Mod|Angron immediately had them expelled]]. During the Horus Heresy, Lotara stayed committed to Angron and commanded the Conqueror during the Shadow Crusade.

During said Shadow Crusade, Lotara balanced her own lust for void-murder and giving Angron lip for wanting to fight [[Lorgar|his whiny brother]]. During the battle of Armatura, with the safety of distance between herself and the murder machine, she gave him the verbal sneer of the millennium:

:'''Angron:''' ''"How's my ship doing?"''
:'''Lotara:''' ''"You mean'' my ''ship. And we're doing just fine."''

During the same battle, the [[Ultramarines|Smurfs]] made a boarding attempt on the ''Conqueror'' and that's when Lotara realized the World Eaters supposed to deal with them had gone to join the fun on the planet below. Her reaction?
:Step 1: wake up all remaining Dreadnoughts on board, then join them in going to town on blue power-armored ass with her naval armsmen.
:Step 2: Shoot the captain of the defenders when he came back smack between his helmet's eyeplates with her laspistol. Then chew him out twice as hard because not only did he dare desert his post, on top of that he dared return fire at a superior officer reprimanding him.
It is rather telling said Astartes captain agreed to be confined to his quarters for a while rather than keep up being on the receiving end of the temper of this mere mortal woman.

Around this time, Lotara also noticed Angron was deteriorating. After some investigation and pointed questions with the local [[Adeptus Mechanicus|cog boys]] on her ship, she learned the Nails were killing Angron. How she remained calm and didn't shoot them in the face like she did to the captain of the boarding specialist Astartes squads, is still unknown. Then again, she did force the AdMech to focus on repairing the [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Ember Wolves Titan Legion]] division.

After Nuceria, the subsequent loss of her card playing companion [[Dreadnought#Contemptor Pattern|Lhorke]] and Angron's ascension into [[Daemon Prince|daemonhood]], [[Not As Planned|shit began to go fuckways]] because [[Chaos]]. Dropping out of the [[Warp]] due to human error left the Conqueror mostly isolated. The [[Word Bearers]] either did not notice or simply did not care about the World Eaters' flagship dropping out of transit, and even some World Eater vessels did not drop from transit with them. From this point on, Lotara steered the World Eaters fleet (or what remained of it) from planet to planet to satiate [[RIP AND TEAR|the need for murder]] and replenish supplies.

On their way to the [[Siege of Terra|party of the century]], Lotara began to feel like the [[Machine Spirit|ship was trying to kill them]]. The usual [[Khorne]] fuckery ensued: Blood from the showers and taps, lice leeching blood from the people's scalps, constant infighting, murderous rampaging World Eaters, and of course the thing Angron had become turning half the ship into a [[RIP AND TEAR|fleshy, bloody mess]]. Captain Sarrin did the unthinkable and plotted a mutiny/abandonment-of-ship with a few sane World Eaters. But at the very last moment, when the insubordinate crew fled and that swell guy Kharn confronted one of his own, it was revealed that Lotara wasn't going anywhere and she proceeded to gun down the fleeing vessels while speaking one line: [[Awesome|''"No one runs from the Conqueror."'']]

That said, Lotara's loyalty could only be pushed that far: when Angron finally went completely batshit insane after being refused the honour of leading the attack on Terra by [[Horus]] and started rampaging through the ship, she pretty much conned Khârn into making a deal with [[Night Lords|Gendor Skraivok]] to have Angron locked up in the maze [[Perturabo|Perty]] built to contain [[Vulkan]] until it was go time.

It is still unknown what Lotara's fate is, but it is common fanon that she is part of the Conqueror like some Titan pilots fuse with their God-Machines, or perhaps if she herself has ascended to daemonhood and effectively became the ship's new machine spirit.

Lost and the Damned. She and Kharn work together with the Night Lords to lock Angron up in Curze's Vulkan maze.

== On The Tabletop ==
She doesn't have any official rules, but this category being here means someone is cooking up some homebrew.

== In Video Games ==
Lotara is represented in the Horus Heresy Legions mobile TCG. Disappointingly enough, she doesn't belong to the World Eaters legion and comes as a Neutral warlord as Imperial Army, thus barring her from access to legion cards, but in hindsight putting her in with the World Eaters legion might make them stupidly OP due to her ability. Her ability places a 2/3 Front Line with Flank in play for a mere 2 energy, so you can always cover what you're about to put on the field and throw them at what your opponent plays on their turn. Lotara decks are somewhat decent in the 1000 - 1500 rating bracket once you have access to cards such as Mount Pharos to generate some Astartes cards. What is unique however is that Lotara starts with a special card like the Primarchs and Valdor do, this one-off card stuns all enemies for free, perfect to shut down your opponent and protect an important card.

Waifu imagery goes here. It is interesting to note that while in the books she is blonde, almost all the fanart of her presents her as a brunette.

TOG 2

2022-06-08T23:20:34Z

2001:8003:1C20:8C00:4423:B01A:5AE0:95EC: /* IRL */

{{British}}

A prototype tank which takes the concept of "Land Battleship" way too literally, the TOG2 is another tank that never saw service, but are pretty cool regardless. This longboi is pretty much a [[Grot Tanks|Grot Megatank]], complete with thin, ramshackle armor, it would've had sponsons, too, but then they realized that would be dumb. [[Imperium of Man|Who's]] [[Leman Russ (tank)|dumb]] [[Land Raider|enough]] to [[Adeptus Mechanicus|do]] that?

==Stats==
[[File:TOGGERS.jpg|thumb|left|Proof that the [[Games Workshop|British]] just suck at tank design
]]

You'd think that a tank this large would have better armor, but no, ''it has even less armor than a Sherman''. At least it has the 17-pdr, which lets it trade shots with other, better heavies.

==IRL==

The TOG2 is a prototype Heavy tank designed by '''T'''he '''O'''ld '''G'''ang of tank designers that designed the original British Mark tanks. An even earlier concept than the [[Churchill]], it was also designed on the assumption that World War II would devolve into a clusterfuck of [[Death Korps of Krieg|trench campers]]. The TOG2 is basically the "Land Battleship" concept applied with more "modern" technology, applying lessons like torsion-bar suspensions (which gave it a much better ride and control), lower-run tracks versus an over-under design, twin-engines (one for each track), and of course, a turret. In spite of that, the design still showed its age and "The Old Gang's" obsolete way of thinking: it was slow (24 km was its ''theoretical'' top-speed), had thin armor, and its length was more of a detriment than an advantage, even if they did manage to include the planned sponsons. By the time the first prototype was built, it was already obsolete, replaced by the Churchill, a slightly more sane take on the concept.
