Yet another vehicle built on the reliable Chimera chassis, the Trojan Support Vehicle is used in support of Imperial Guard armored forces, towing weapons platforms and carrying ammunition to the frontline. Though too small to tow disabled vehicles (this job is taken by the Atlas Recovery Tank), it is a flexible and reliable vehicle that is greatly beloved by the Guard regiments it services.
Though lightly armored and almost totally unarmed, desperate Guardsmen have converted them into makeshift weapons platforms or anti-air vehicles. Though this no doubt annoys the Mechanicus, this is the lowest concern on the mind of a Guard officer faced with a horde of Tyranids or Orks.
On the Tabletop
The Trojan is a dedicated transport option for a Tech-Priest Engiseer, from Imperial Armor Volume 1. It is a 35 point metal box with AV10 all around and a transport capacity of six models. Its real value comes from the fact that it can grant Preferred Enemy to a single friendly tank or artillery unit. Best used in conjunction with super-heavy vehicles, as the Tech-Priest can hide behind the super-heavy in question and restore hull points while the Preferred Enemy Baneblade/Shadowsword/Stormlord tears your opponent apart.
However here is yet another example of GW not proofreading their own books! Despite the vehicle being stated as being capable of towing artillery and being called the "Trojan Towing Vehicle" under the upgrade list for Field Artillery, it lacks the Artillery Tractor special rule. Because of this the Trojan is unable to tow artillery, which can be an issue seeing the Heavy Artillery Carriage Battery lacks the ability to field centaurs and can only include Trojans. While this is an obvious mistake this has yet to be FAQ'd or corrected.
