[[ImageFile:CenturionMelee.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Centurion Assault Squad]]'''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 The [[Chapterchapter]]'s foremost close combat experts, these squads are solely focused on closing with the enemy and destroying them face-to-face. Once Assault Centurions assault centurions have broken through, units of [[Tactical Marinetactical marine]]s will follow into the breach to secure the area.{{Fn|3}}
Assault Centurions centurions are armed primarily with two [[Siege Drillsiege drill]]s, each of which is equipped with either a [[Flamerflamer]] or [[Meltagunmeltagun]], along with a [[Hurricane Bolterhurricane bolter]] or [[Ironclad Assault Launcherironclad assault launcher]] mounted on their chests.{{Fn|1}} They share the same weakness as their devastator centurion cousins, a severe lack of speed, which hampers them more due to their lack of long-ranged weapons.
