The '''Astraeus Super-heavy Tank{{PAGENAME}}''' is a newly unleashed [[Super-heavy]] [[grav-tank]] used by the [[Primaris Space Marines]]. It is a devastating war machine that represents the pinnacle of [[Imperial]] engineering.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The Astraeus has an enormous hull that mounts a devastating range of defensive and offensive systems. Its main weapons are a pair of [[Macro-Accelerator Cannon]]s, which are coupled with sponson-mounted [[Las-Ripper]]s or [[Plasma Eradicator]]s, turret-mounted [[Heavy Stubber]], and twin-linked [[Heavy Bolter]]s or [[Lascannon]]s mounted on the front of the vehicle. It is protected by layered [[void shield]]s and is held aloft by powerful anti-gravitic generators, which are powerful deterrents to enemy assault units. Unlike the [[Repulsor]], the Astraeus does not have any transport capacity – instead, this colossal machine is dedicated to destruction alone. While there are few targets that can stand up to one of the Astraeus Super-heavy Tank's furious fusillades, it particularly excels at shooting down aircraft.{{Fn|1}}
