Inhaerophant Bio-titan

The Inhaerophant Bio-titan is a towering behemoth of monstrous firepower and strength. Rarely seen fielded it can be seen towering over its brethren at the siege of fortified hive cities or at charges against the Titan legions of mars. It's combat role can closely be described as a walking gunboat. With its 6 long limbs giving it unrivaled stability few terrain features hinder its advance. With grasping talons letting it easily scale cliffs and walk over difficult terrains such as toxic wastes and collapsed hive cities it brings death and destruction where few Titans of the Adeptus mechanicus could. This Bio-titan is far from invulnerable but brings such destructive firepower it is almost always the priority target in the horde. With all its might and destructive firepower, one unassuming ability of the Inhaerophant should be feared amongst all others. Its large skinny frame resembling that of a stick bug can be quite unassuming at a distance. But once you realize this creature silly frame allows it to drop silently unto the battlefield from orbit you will never feel at ease. For while u might fell one with all your firepower 2 could already be on route to replace it.
