The Chaos Rhino has served the Space Marine Legions since the earliest days of their wars, and countless examples endure in the ranks of the fallen, sustained across the millennia by dark craft and grudging maintenance. In the hands of the Emperor's Children, these ancient transports take on the character of their masters, embellished with ostentatious ornamentation and reworked to reflect the Legion's obsession with excess.
Its function remains constant: to carry a squad of warriors rapidly and in relative safety across the battlefield, depositing them where they can do the most harm. For the Emperor's Children, who crave the immediacy of combat, this speed is precious, sparing them the tedium of a slow advance and delivering them swiftly to the exquisite chaos of the fray.
Though not the mightiest of war engines, the Chaos Rhino is dependable and versatile, and a well-appointed one is a mark of a warband's status. Some are fitted with additional weaponry or grotesque adornments, blaring discordant sound as they roar into battle, a fitting herald for the amethyst warriors they disgorge.
