	Realistically though, the Blood Pact’s heavy emphasis on air superiority and support probably would mean that a heavily armored Leman Russ analogue is all that was needed and the Reaver was probably hard to contest when your own tanks and artillery were busy being dead or bombed out of existence. Also, if we go by the “super tank” as being more literal, its turret may have been large enough to not need that expensive hand-made inertia dampener that Leman Russ battle tanks require for their battle cannons’ recoil. Which would enable this tank to probably outmatch Leman Russ production while offering equivalent quality.

	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 Brigands. 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 AT83 by the Blood Pact would eventually decline.
