	The '''Spartan Assault Tank''' is a massive vehicle used by [[Space Marines]]. It is the "big brother" of the [[Land Raider]] line, having roughly the same shape but built to a massive scale; it is as tall and wide as the [[Land Raider Proteus]] while being longer, and larger in all dimensions than the standard [[Land Raider Phobos\|"Phobos"-pattern chassis]]. GW released a plastic Spartan in 2022, with the Pintle gunner wearing [[Mark II: Crusade Armour\|Mk2 crusade armor]].		The '''Spartan Assault Tank''' is a massive vehicle used by [[Space Marines]].

	In that overgrown chassis, the Spartan can carry 25 Marines (more than twice as many as most Land Raider patterns, and in fact more than any Imperial vehicle other than the super-heavy [[Gorgon Armored Assault Transport]], [[CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT]], [[Mastodon]] and [[Stormlord]]) in almost perfect safety before unleashing them on the enemy. That's an emphasis on ''Marines'' -- even during the [[Great Crusade]], when Land Raiders were plentiful enough to be used by the [[Imperial Guard\|Imperial Army]], the Spartan was strictly Marines- and [[Adeptus Mechanicus\|Mechanicus]]-only. Even during the Imperium's golden age, the Spartan was just too expensive for mass production, and in the grim, dark future of the 41st Millennium, the only Spartans around are relics of that era.

	Fortunately, Spartans are incredibly long-lasting. They have AV14 all around and five hull points -- if they were any more durable, they would have to be classified as super-heavies (and in fact, two vehicles built on the Spartan chassis, the [[Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer]] and [[Typhon Heavy Siege Tank]], are super-heavy tanks). Its weaponry is similarly up-scaled from the Land Raider, with a twin [[Heavy Bolter\|heavy bolter]] (which can be exchanged for a twin [[Heavy Flamer\|heavy flamer]] instead) a pair of quad [[lascannon]]s for vehicle destruction that can be swapped out for [[Laser Destroyer\|laser destroyers]] if it needs to go hunting superheavies, and options for a pintle-mounted [[Storm Bolter\|storm bolter,]] twin-linked [[Astartes Boltgun\|bolters,]] [[Heavy Bolter\|heavy bolter,]] [[Heavy Flamer\|heavy flamer,]] [[Multi-Melta\|multi-melta,]] [[Hunter-Killer Missile\|Hunter-killer Missiles,]] and a [[Havoc Missile Launcher]]. For the times when even AV14 on all sides isn't enough, it can also take armored ceramite to make it melta-proof and a flare shield that causes most frontal attacks to dissipate harmlessly. Needless to say, it's considered a must-have for any self-respecting Horus Heresy legion list.		Fortunately, Spartans are incredibly long-lasting.

	Funnily enough, the original Land Raider, back in the [[Rogue Trader (sourcebook)\|Rogue Trader]] days, had an extended hull variant called the "Land Raider Spartan", but [[Forge World]] decided that a longer Proteus wasn't impressive enough and scaled the whole thing up, hull, tracks, even the sponson guns were doubled up, and adding the assault ramp nose of the modern Land Raider.

	With GW taking over the Horus Heresy the Spartan is amongst the Legion agnostic kits that go full plastic and one of the Vehicles contained within the Age of Darkness Starter Box for HH2.0.
