The '''Rogal Dorn ''' is an [[Astra Militarum]] Heavy [[Battle Tank]] that is named after the [[Primarch]] [[Rogal Dorn]].{{Fn|1}}
==Description==
Perfectly exemplifying its namesake, the Rogal Dorn Tank is a behemoth of a vehicle that is perfectly suited for smashing enemy positions and anchoring defensive lines.{{Fn|6}} It is one of the largest tanks in the Imperial Guard's inventory, barely a step down from true [[Super-Heavy|super-heavies]] like the [[Baneblade]].{{Fn|6}} Its crew consists of 9 individuals, including a commander and a gunner, both of whom have access to the turret front-mounted periscope and vision blocks.{{Fn|5a}} While on the battlefield, its crew lives aboard their vehicle, which while cramped comes with daily provisions, sleeping rolls, and cooking equipmentin addition to various tools. Any more items needed are tied to the hull, a practice said to date back to ancient [[Terra]].{{Fn|6}}
Heavily armored, the heavy [[Battle Tank]]'s powerful engines ensure it doesn’t fall behind squadrons of [[Leman Russ Battle Tank]]s. Its turret mounts either two full-size [[battle cannon]]s or an enormous [[oppressor cannon]]. The Rogal Dorn also mounts a deadly [[castigator gatling cannon]] or [[pulveriser cannon]]. The Battle Tank can be further augmented with a pair of [[heavy stubber]]s or [[meltagun]]s, while a pair of [[heavy bolter]] or [[multi-melta]] sponsons are mounted on its sides. There is also a pintle-mounted heavy stubber on its top.{{Fn|1}} The firepower of a single Rogal Dorn can match a squadron of lesser tanks.{{Fn|5a}} Furthermore, the tank is equipped with [[smoke launcher]]s and a [[searchlight]].{{Fn|5b}}
