Editing Astraeus Super-Heavy Tank (section)

==Overview==

The Astraeus is basically the unholy lovechild between a [[Fellblade]], a Repulsor, and a [[Sicaran Battle Tank|Sicaran]] that has been flattened and stretched with a rolling pin. Basically speaking, this thing is as long as two [[Baneblade|Baneblades]] duct-taped together or a [[Thunderhawk]] on ''land''. AKA this thing is ABSOLUTELY HUEG! One must wonder what kind of new toys is needed to drop this monster into orbit. Probably the [[Overlord Gunship|Primaris Overlord Dropship]].

But one thing is definitely certain, this thing has teeth, <u>''LOTS OF TEETH''</u>. Its ridiculously oversized hull mounts a devastating range of defensive and offensive systems. The main weapons of the Astraeus are a pair of [[Macro-Accelerator Cannon]]s (basically giant suped-up [[Accelerator Autocannon]]s you find on the Sicaran), coupled with sponson-mounted [[Las-Ripper]]s or [[Plasma Eradicator]]s. The macro-accelerator cannons are particularly powerful, [[Rape|firing 12 shots with -2 AP and 3 Damage]]!

Not only is this big bastard armed with as many guns as the Repulsor (including a [[Ironhail Heavy Stubber]] that must feel pretty useless next to all that firepower and a [[Storm Bolter]] inexplicably mounted on its rear), but it's the only Primaris unit with a 2+ save, and has [[Void shields|void shields]]. You know, the shit they normally put on Titans? This basically turns the already mobile fortress of guns into a more [[Dakka|Dakka version of the]] [[Mastodon]]. Seriously, [[Orks]] [[/d/|can only get so erect when they see this thing on the battlefield.]] Speaking of which, it also shares the same gravitic plates of its [[Repulsor Tank|little brother]], which is the merciless crushing of its gravity force.

Unlike its little brother, the Astraeus Super-Heavy Tank doesn’t have any transport capacity – instead, this colossal machine is dedicated to destruction alone. While there are few targets that can stand up to one of the Astraeus Super-heavy Tank’s furious fusillades, it particularly excels at shooting down Flyers. So no, not even air superiority is safe from this motherfucker. With the Steel Behemoth rule and Power of the [[Machine Spirit]], this war machine can fire on the move, or even when locked in close combat, making it a surprisingly flexible and mobile unit for its size.

Just prop this moving fortress with [[Roboute Guilliman|Grandpa Smurf]], some Repulsors and a Techpriest and you can say goodbye to any leftover bitching on Eldar powerscaling. Because boys, there is a new kid in town and he is going to roundhouse kick a [[Chaos|certain group of motherfuckers right in their urethra.]]

For some unknown reason, it manage to [[What|move faster than its little brother]] despite its size.
