Overview
The Carnodon is a versatile medium battle tank which acted as the linchpin for many of Imperial Army victories during the Great Crusade. As a premier mobile fire platform, it was regularly adapted to combat a wide variety of foes and respond to any number of battlefield conditions. During the early years of the Great Crusade, it rapidly became a byword for conquest amongst the Expeditionary fleets. As the Great Crusade moved ever outwards and supply of the Aurox chassis design peaked, it is thought that many Carnodon tanks entered a strategic reserve and were distributed to Crusade mustering worlds behind the front lines; with over two hundred thousand examples thought to have been stored on Tallarn alone. During the Horus Heresy they often saw service with the second-line Imperialis Militia.[2]
The Carnodon was armed with either twin Lascannons, Multi-lasers, or Autocannons or a single Volkite Culverin on its turret as well as sponson-mounted Autocannons, Lascannons, Heavy Bolters, Heavy Flamers, or Volkite Calivers.[2]
