	*'''Servitors:''' Wanna know just how badly the rules-writers shit the bed when writing the rules for this army? just look at the Servitors. It is unknown who, in what place, in what state of mind would ever consider it acceptable to make these goddamn things get a 6+ BS that improves into a 5+ when attached to any Enginseer. There is no excuse for making these things utterly incapable of using any guns or even throwing a punch with a 5+ WS. The fact that all of your guns already have ''[Heavy]'' already on them just removes part of the value of the Protector Imperative on them. The fact that the servitors loaned out to the Space Marines are actually better at shooting than these is just a travesty in itself.		*'''Servitors:''' Wanna know just how badly the rules-writers shit the bed when writing the rules for this army? just look at the Servitors.

			*'''Secutarii Hoplites<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' Your dedicated melee wall, blessed with a 4++ save as well as a free use of a Heroic Intervention strat each turn with the added perk of re-rolling the charge when protecting a {[W40kKeyword\|Adeptus Titanicus}} titan. Their Arc Lances give you something pretty easy to weaponize against tanks with ''[Anti-Vehicle 4+]'' and ''[Devastating Wounds]'' while also getting ''[Lance]'' when used in melee.
			**Fortunately, as they're able to be joined by any heroes who can join Vanguards, they're considered one of the more synergistic options to join a Marshal in melee.

			*'''Secutarii Peltasts<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' Come with Galvanic Casters that can switch between either lightweight Flechette shots with ''[Assault]'' to always fire on the move or Hammershot rounds with ''[Heavy]''. Whichever one you fire, your attacks also make the enemy take -1 to hit until your next turn.

	*Skorpius Dunerider		*'''Skorpius Dunerider:''' A landboat with space for 12 models. Pretty much only useful for your Skitarii, Sicarians and Electro-Priests as nothing else can fit in here. Pretty much only has Cognis Heavy Stubbers for shooting, so you're best served by moving as fast as possible - after all, the Dunerider can unload its passengers after advancing and these shouldn't be shooting anyways.

			*'''Terrax-Pattern Termite<sup>HH Legends</sup>:''' An inverse drop pod, this is your only deep-striking carrier, capable of fitting 12 models. While it's not as mobile, it's got more effective sponsons (combi-bolters, heavy flamers or twin volkite chargers) on top of the Melta Cutter to chop through light tanks. If you need to destroy anything bigger, you'd need to get into melee for the drill to rip them apart.

	*'''Rad-Bombardment:''' What better way to show what this detachment means than by blasting the board in radiation?
