It served as a dedicated infantry support tank and its heavy cannon could quickly open a path through massed enemies for any infantry following in its wake. However, the Kratos became obsolete and was later retired when the Legions began to favour faster, more multi-purpose vehicles such as the ubiquitous [[Predator]]. Some were kept in the Legions' reserve armouries, though. Notably the [[Blood Angels]] Legion's Kratos tanks saw heavy usage in the [[Battle of Signus Prime]].{{Fn|1}}
In terms of hitting power, the Kratos sits between the [[Sicaran]] and [[Fellblade]]. The Kratos can be armed with the Kratos [[battlecannon]] which can be loaded with high-explosive [[shellsshell]] s to kill large numbers of enemy troops, armour-piercing shells to take out heavily-armoured threats or flashburn shells against massive enemy tanks. The Kratos can also be equipped with a [[Volkite Cardanelle]], or a [[Melta Blast-Gun]]. Additional weaponry includes a coaxial [[Autocannon]], hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]]s, and [[Lascannon]], [[Heavy Bolter]] or [[Volkite Culverin]] sponsons.{{Fn|12}}
