Legion – Astartes

Legion is a division of Astartes, they’re a fast response unit that specializes in quickly entering into combat, hitting a target hard, and then leaving the area. The Astartes relieve pressure for the rest of the unit, with their high caliber bolters, to their heavy-hitting melee weapons, they’re a force to be reckoned with.

The Astartes is a self-contained unit that can use a multitude of different vehicles, ranging from the Rhino to get from point A to point B, to their battle tank the Predator with its heavy autocannon. The Astartes can also provide air support with their heavy assault gunship the Strom Eagle, or their fast dogfighting Xiphon Interceptor, and if needed, the Astartes can use a drop-pod to drop behind enemy lines from the atmosphere to disrupt the enemy forces.

776th Air Corps – Air

The 776th are the pilots of the unit, they provide close air defense and close air support to the forces on the ground, they’re also responsible for transporting large groups of people across the map.

The 776th has access to the trusty Valkyrie, a tough transport vehicle that can hold its own in a fight. The Avenger, a fast flying vehicle that can perform gun runs or drop heavy payloads on a designated area. The 776th also has access to a heavy lifting vehicle that can transport other vehicles allowing for fast re-deployment and “hot drops” into active combat areas.

3rd Cohort Auxilia – Mechanicus

The Mechanicus is our logistical division, they provide aid in the form of vehicle repair, anti-air defense, and artillery support. The members of Hydra are also able to build new forward operating bases and patrol bases, providing the unit with defensible positions, as well as safe areas for people to resupply.

The Mechanicus have access to several artillery pieces, ranging from the small deployable mortar to the fast-moving Skorpius Belleros hovercraft, to the heavy-hitting Basilisk and Medusa platforms capable of destroying entire towns in just a few rounds. The Mechanicus also have access to the Trojan, a logistical vehicle that can repair and resupply other vehicles.

826th Cadian Expeditionary Force – Mechanized Infantry

The 826th is made up of three platoons, each with its own unique playstyle and function:

Firstly there is the Infantry, they’re the main driving force of the unit, they’re responsible for clearing through objectives, capturing high-value targets, and maintaining a defensive line.

Infantry has access to the humble Chimera a transport vehicle with an autocannon to bring the heat, The Taurox is a faster, lighter alternative to the Chimera that trades the autocannon away for the ability to turn around tight corners at a higher max speed.

Secondly, there is Venator, they’re the armored division of the unit, which specializes in operating the unit’s battle tanks. Venator has access to a wide array of different patterns of Leman Russ battle tanks, ranging from the Annihilator, a long-range lascannon pattern Leman Russ that’s able to destroy enemy vehicles in a single shot, to the Exterminator, a rapid-firing twin-linked autocannon variant that can provide an overwhelming suppressive barrage of firepower.

Lastly, we have Velite, they’re our forward operating scouts, they specialize in sneaking close to the enemy positions, and relaying as much information back to command as possible, they’re capable of calling in artillery strikes to clear a path for the rest of the unit whilst piloting small drones to get a more detailed view of their surroundings.

Velite often drives around in the small buggy known as a Tauros, this is a nimble vehicle that can be hidden out of sight from the enemy, perfect for the scouts’ needs. If Velite needs something a little bulkier as a vehicle, then they have access to the Sentinal, a bipedal walker that’s harder to hide, but is still just as fast as the Tauros. The Sentinal has access to heavy weaponry such as a heavy bolter, multi-las, or lascannon.
