As might be expected, a Battle Barge is configured for the close support of a planetary assault. Much of their hull space is given over to the launch of intrasystem craft and drop pods, and observations have indicated that oneof these craft can deploy three companies of space marines simultaneously. No single pattern of Battle Barge exists, however, and in addition to heavy armor and dense shielding, many Battle Barges also feature weaponry capable of destroying a planet entirely, should its complement of Astartes prove insufficient. Some Battle Barges forgotheir launch capacity entirely, in favor of rank after rank of cannon batteries, lances and torpedo tubes.  \n*In Exterminatus missions, a Battle Barge may be selected as an Exterminator without modifying its profile in anyway (Battle Barges carry cyclonic torpedoes, virus bombs and other planet killing weapons) and fires its weapon on a 3+, rather than a 4+ .  \n*In Planetary Assault missions, every turn a Battle Barge spends landing troops or bombarding the planet, they score 2 assault points, instead of the usual 1 .  \n| |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | | | | | | |  |\n| | | |  |  | | |  |\n| |  | |  |  | | |  |\n| |  | |  |  | | |  |\n| |  | |  |  | | | |\n| |  | |  |  | | |  |\n| |  | |  |  | | |  |\n\n* Battleships are slow and ponderous vessels. This vessel cannot use Come To New Heading orders.  \nAncient and venerable, beyond even the reckoning of the Mechanicum, the Desolator is highly valued as a fleet support vessel for its long range firepower. The Angel Eater (renamed by its traitorous captain) was a XVIIth Legion Desolator present atthe grand betrayal on Istvaan V, where it accounted for the destruction of six loyalist cruisers and an uncounted number of smaller craft desperately attempting to return to their mother ships and escape the Warmaster’s trap.  \nThe Angel Eater was also recorded to have engaged in a series of running battles with the Space Wolves in both the D43 Cluster and the Ullanor system.  \nFamous Ships of the Horus Heresy  \nAngel Eater (Word Bearers)  \nImperator Eternus (Armada Imperialis)  \nRETRIBUTION BATTLESHIP....345 PTS  \nDistinctively Imperial, with its armored prowand multiple tube plasma engines, the Retribution is considered a mainstay of the Great Crusade.  \nOver fifty of the vessels are catalogued as serving in just as many Expeditionary fleets. The Imperial Hammer and Antelope both serve asthe flagships of their respective fleets. The Imperial Hammer is considered lucky by those who have served on it, and rightly so. The vessel was one of only three to return from the initial actions of the disastrous Falshan Xenocides, was repaired in an astounding eight years, and returned to Falshan Prime a year after that to participate in the final, decisive battle over the world, where it destroyed four of the aliens’ deep space dreadnoughts. The Antelope famously happened upon the doomed world of Stalchion V, where it offered an ultimatum to its people. Salvation, in return for service. Now the 446th Expeditionary fleet is bolstered by the millions strong Antelope Runner auxilia militia.  \nFamous Ships of the Imperial Army  \nAntelope Ozymandias  \nStar Tamer  \n| |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| |  | | | | | | |  |  |\n| |  | | |  |  | | |  |  |\n| |  |  | |  |  | | |  |  |\n| |  |  | |  |  | | |  |  |\n| |  |  | |  |  | | | |  |\n| | |  | |  |  | | |  | |\n| |  |  | |  |  | | |  |  |\n\n* Battleships are slow and ponderous vessels.
