[[Image:Invictor Tactical Warsuit.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[Ultramarines]] Invictor Tactical Warsuit{{Fn|2}}]]
The '''Invictor Tactical Warsuit''' is a lightly armoured walker that is often found fighting alongside [[Vanguard Space Marines]] on recon missions. It is designed with sound-dampening materials, enabling the Warsuit to move at great speed with minimal noise output, in support of the the pilot's Vanguard brethren.{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
The Invictor is a stripped-back variant of the [[Redemptor Dreadnought]] frame. Instead of a injured hero of the [[Chapter]], the warsuit is piloted by a live [[Primaris Space Marine]] whose controls are directly plugged into his [[Power Armour]]. The pilots are chosen from those warriors who display an aptitude for swift and independent though, and protective stance towards their battle-brothers. These qualities are essential, for while an Ivictor pilot has no additional authority, they are permitted a great deal of tactical autonomy. Most Invictor pilots seek to support and defend their comrades against particularly large and deadly threats, spearhead assaults against heavily defended positions, or form a bulwark against enemy forces. In practice however Invictor suits are deployed in every capacity, from armored escort duties to close-range siege-breaking and urban monster-hunts.{{Fn|21}}
The most iconic role for these walkers is supporting [[Vanguard Space Marine]] forces. Their reactors and servos are rigged to run with minimum sound, and their weapon loadouts allows for them to unleash firepower from either twin ironhail [[Autocannon]]s or a compact [[Incendium Cannon]]. While they remain at range, each Invictor's servo-fist can use a modified [[Heavy Bolter]] that acts as an oversized sidearm. As the foe draws close, the pilot mag-locks the weapon to the machine's hip so that it may use its claw for melee battle. This combination of mid-to-close-range firepower, armored resilience, and selfless mindset proves do provide exceptional support to Vanguard forces.{{Fn|21}}
