Ordinatus Aktaeus

Adeptus Mechanicus Portal

Ordinatus Aktaeus^[1]

The Ordinatus Aktaeus is a type of Ordinatus Minoris engine used by the Mechanicum during the Horus Heresy.

Amongst the Ordinatus Minoris macro engines, the Aktaeus is a super-heavy transport designed to carve a path through the stony heart of a world to deliver its cargo of warriors to the centre of the battlefield.^[1][3]

In addition to troop delivery, these units can also support transported infantry with considerable on-board weaponry.^[2]

Known to the armies of the Emperor as the ‘Imperial Mole’, this vehicle is a siege engine adapted from the principles of terrascaping and earthscaping capable of rendering even the most formidable fortifications pointless by burrowing beneath them.^[3]
