Types of Super Heavy Vehicle
Imperium
The Imperial Guard use the following vehicles, with their roles described.
- Baneblade: A Battle Tank.
- Hellhammer: A Battle Tank.
- Shadowsword: A Tank Hunter.
- Stormblade: A Tank Hunter/Battle Tank.
- Stormsword: A Battle Tank.
- Stormhammer: A Battle Tank.
- Gorgon: An Armoured Infantry Vehicle.
In addition there were more vehicles in the service of the Imperium, such as the Fellblade (probably a precursor of the Baneblades), and the Decimator (see Chaos; possible a precursor to the Baneblade and Shadowsword) and the Mammoth (probably a precursor of the Shadowswords), but it is not know whether they are used by the Imperium.
Eldar
All Eldar vehicles are powered by anti-gravity devices allowing them skim the above the surface. They are named after their forge god, Vaul, and often grouped together as Engines of Vaul.
- Cobra: A Tank Hunter.
- Scorpion: A Tank Hunter/Battle Tank
- Storm Serpent: No actual transport space, but with a Webway Portal it counts as an Armoured Infantry Vehicle.
- Void Spinner: An Artillery Tank.

The Ork Meks build larger versions of most Ork vehicles to make them super heavy.

The forces of Chaos use old style Imperial vehicles.
- Decimator, forerunner to the Baneblade and Shadowsword
