Macharius Prime

The Macharius Prime is a variant of the Macharius Heavy Tank designed to provide heavy weaponry support. Employed almost exclusively by the Sacratan Grenadiers, it bristles with guns and armor to serve its intended role.

Based on a STC design for the Macharius that substituted the original Macharius turret for the larger one in the STC because of difficulties finding sufficient Adamantium for the STC version.

History
The Macharius Prime is tied to the Sacratan Grenadiers and the Millennial Siege of Sacrata.

Design
As a heavy support vehicle, the Macharius Prime is expected to roll into fortified enemy positions and destroy them in concert with infantry advances. Inside the hull, an enhanced powerplant was installed to fuel the additional weapons of war added to the beast.

The Twin Battle Cannons on the turret were replaced with a Demolisher cannon with two coaxial Tusk-pattern autocannons and Two Multi-Meltas above the demolisher. Packing this large amount of ordinance limits the room inside the turret, making conditions extremely cramped.

The Standard Macharius Hull was lengthened
