The '''AT70 Reaver Battle Tank''' was a main battle tank produced by the Forge World Urdesh and it was considered as the cheap knockoff of the venerated [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]].

	The AT70 was considered an inferior design compared to the standard tank of the Imperium, the Leman Russ Battle Tank. The tank lacked any Auspex or laser rangefinding equipment, requiring the gunner to aim by visual methods only. It also lacked any gyro stabilizers, limiting its ability to hit targets while moving. The AT70 was armed with a hull-mounted [[lascannon]] and a 105mm hypervelocity main gun, which had a slow rate of fire and was [[Fail\|unable to penetrate the side armour of a Leman Russ.]] Yeah...not looking too hot eh? In game terms that'd probably mean that the gun would have a strength value of 7 or 6 back in the days before GW shifted to an "anything can wound anything" approach in 8th edition. Which would definitely be absolute shit for a single shot tank gun. We're talking "like a nova cannon without the ability to ignore cover" or "one S7 AP4 small blast shot" levels of shit.

	When the forces of [[Chaos]] captured Urdesh during the middle of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade, many Urdeshi-designed weapons and vehicles were produced in great numbers to equip their forces, including Reavers ([[Reaver Battle Titan\|No, not the one you’re thinking,]] although it would be [[awesome]] if it was really these murdermachines). Among those who used the tanks was the [[Blood Pact]] which just so happens to be the biggest user, which was often engaged in heavy fighting with Imperial forces, especially against the [[Tanith First (And Only)\|Tanith First and Only]] led by [[Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt]]. With the recapture of Urdesh by Imperial forces, use of the AT70 by the Blood Pact would eventually decline, though given how the thing is basically made out of old duct tape and spit it's possible that any half sane blood pact member could put together an equivalent machine in their basement.

	Due to their inferior quality, Reavers were only a threat to Imperial armoured forces when they outnumbered them. The only reason why they are still made, is due to their low cost and ease of manufacturing in places where the technological advancements or resources are dirt poor that this is seen as the only alternative to a tank. But one must ask themselves how [[FAIL\|shit of a Forgeworld Urdesh is,]] if this is the only main battle tank they can make despite the blueprints of the Leman Russ being found everywhere.
