'''Assault Centurions''' are deployed when an enemy stronghold must be assaulted head-on in an environment too compact for an [[Ironclad Dreadnought]]{{Fn|3}}. These are the [[Chapter]]'s foremost close combat experts, these squads are solely focused on closing with the enemy and destroying them face-to-face. Once Assault Centurions have broken through, units of [[Tactical Marine]]s will follow into the breach to secure the area.{{Fn|3}}
Assault Centurions are armed primarily with two [[Siege Drill]]s, each of which is equipped with either a [[Flamer]] or [[Meltagun]], along with a [[Hurricane Bolter]] or [[Ironclad Assault Launcher]] mounted on their chests.{{Fn|1}}
