Story and setting
The Horus Heresy
The war in the fiery era of the Heresy pitted the most powerful forces of the galaxy against each other. In this conflict, specialised transport devices play a key role, enabling the lightning-fast transfer of combat machines directly to where they are needed most.
The Significance of Transport Modules
The ability to quickly and safely deliver heavy walking machines to the battlefield often decides the success of the entire operation. These modules provide essential support for operational manoeuvres and ensure that the army maintains tactical flexibility in every phase of engagement.
