==History==
The exact origins of the 'Prometheus' pattern Land Raider remains a mystery. Some [[Tech-adepts]] believe it to be a variant of the 'Tartarus' pattern Land Raider, due to the striking similarities between the two, although . Although no clear evidence has been found to support this claim{{Fn|4a}} there is at least one archival report depicts the vehicle, or else one that closely resembling it, that fight on the side of Loyalists during the early period of the [[Horus Heresy]]. {{Fn|4b}} Others believe that it was the [[Salamanders]] which first produced it as they retain more Prometheus models, than any other [[Chapter]] (however, the Salamanders deny this claim). In any case, the number of Chapters which do have a Prometheus within their [[Armoury|Armouries]] is unknown.{{Fn|1}} For example, the [[White Scars]] only have four of this Land Laiders.{{Fn|3}} There is even version that the origins of 'Prometheus' where founded by the [[Landites]] - followers of the famous [[Arkhan Land]].{{Fn|44a}}
