Changes

However, at the outset of the [[Horus Heresy]], Anvilus 9 along with other Forge Worlds were seized by the [[Dark Mechanicum]] aligned with [[Horus]], while others chose to secede from the [[Imperium]] and remain neutral. This would prove to be a terrible blow to the Loyalists as their supply of Land Raiders began to dry up, especially since, in sufficient numbers, Land Raiders can take on and destroy even [[Titan]]s.{{Fn|4}} With the dark clouds of the rebellion drawing closer to [[Terra]], the Emperor ordered that all Land Raiders still in loyalist service were to be transferred and used exclusively by the Legiones Astartes, who were at the forefront of the fighting. The Emperor was never able to annul the order, and consequently, even after the Heresy, the use of the Land Raider remained exclusive to the Space Marines.{{Fn|2}}

Land Raiders are used by Space Marines as well as by their counterparts in the [[Traitor Legions]], who have continued to employ the vehicle after their defeat and exile.
