Styx Heavy Cruiser.²

The Styx Heavy Cruiser is a fleet support vessel. Its huge launch bays provide much-needed Attack Craft for Chaos fleets, and its long-range lances and weapons batteries pack an impressive punch. All of this allows the Styx to hang back and rip apart enemies at distance as its fellows close in.¹

Originally used throughout Segmentum Obscurus and Ultima Segmentum during M32-M33, the Styx was eventually phased out in favor of new Battlecruisers coming out of Mars. It lives on in the fleets of Chaos, which greatly appreciate its abilities: Styx class ships fought against the Imperium in no fewer than thirty-nine major fleet engagements during the Gothic War.¹

Notable Styx Heavy Cruisers include

• Horrific¹
• Darkblood³
• Heartless Destroyer¹
