The '''Atlas (Recovery Tank)''' is an armoured recovery tank based on the [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]] chassis. It is designed to recovery disabled or destroyed vehicles and tow them back to friendly lines for repairs.
==History== ==In the 41st MillenniumOverview==
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 Atlases are needed to tow a super heavy tank.
Destroyed vehicles will be investigated for scavenge, freeing its machine spirit to the [[Emperor]] and then left to rust away in peace.
