The Legion Predator formed the armoured backbone of the First Legion's companies, a stalwart engine of war the Dark Angels fielded in disciplined squadrons that advanced with the same measured cadence as their hooded infantry. Whether mounting the autocannon of the Predator Destructor or the paired lascannons of the Annihilator, these tanks provided the patient, overwhelming firepower that underpinned the Order's methodical way of battle — never rushing, never faltering, grinding an enemy down until resistance simply ceased. Dark Angels crews, drawn from the same knightly brotherhoods as their commanders, bore their tanks' honours upon banners and hull-plates alike, and treated the machines as steeds worthy of a Calibanite lord. In the wars of the Heresy, where the First fought as often in shadow as in open muster, the Predator's reliable thunder was a constant the Legion's warriors trusted absolutely.
