grammar change on plural: not Atlas' but Atlases.
==In the 41st Millennium==
The Atlas is a stripped down Leman Russ with no turret, weakened armour and a supercharged engines to enable it to move weights in excess of 60 tonnes. Three or more Atlas' Atlases are needed to tow a super heavy tank.
Usually all of the Atlas' Atlases are grouped together under the control of the regimental commander, although not all regiments have them. Those that do, almost always find their services in need. During battles they are held in reserve until a call comes through for one of them to brave the battlefield and rescue a vehicle. It has a large crane and rear spade to allow it to lift the heavy weight without toppling over backwards.
Often Atlas' Atlases are accompanied by [[Trojans]] which can tow large flatbed trailers to put damaged vehicles on to be moved to the workshops. Often an Atlas crew is well enough trained to repair a vehicle on the spot, they are often followed by a [[Techpriest Enginseer]] to properly bless and consecrate the vehicle.
Destroyed vehicles will be investigated for scavenge, freeing its machine spirit to the [[Emperor]] and then left to rust away in peace.
