Land-Behemoth

Space Marines Portal Iron Hands

Land-Behemoths, also known as a Hall of Conquest^[4] are ancient massive mobile fortresses used by the Iron Hands Chapter. Each of the Iron Hands Clan-Companies operates a single Land Behemoth on Medusa, which serves as their respective Fortress-Monastery.^[1a]

A Land Behemoth serves as the Clan's barracks and armoury, though it lacks a training chamber as the Iron Hands instead use the unpredictable and unstable mountain ranges of Medusa for such purposes. The Land-Behemoth are maintained by Servitors and priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus.^[4] A single Land Behemoth is equal to a Mechanicus Ordinatus in firepower.^[2]

During the 13th Black Crusade, all ten Land-Behemoths were deployed against the Chaos invaders of Medusa.^[2]
