The '''Cobal Landstriders''' are an [[armoured regiment]] hailing from the high value [[Death World]] of [[CobalVII]] who specialize in operating in hazardous atmosphere's. Their regiment uses walker patterns of various [[Imperial Guard]] vehicles.{{fn|1}}
==Overview==
The surface of Cobal is covered in lethal freezing gasses, forcing the regiment to dwell within a shielded citadel. The atmospheric hazard of Cobal has compelled local adaptation of various [[Astra Militarum]] vehicles into different patterns and variants so they can operate through the deadly gasses effectively, the most common of these being retrofitting track based locomotion into walker motive systems. This allows the crew of the vehicles to operate safely above the low lying toxic gases.{{fn|1}}{{fn|2}} The [[Departmento Munitorum]] commissioned a leaflet titled "Know Your Allies", to better facilitate joint operations between the Cobal Landstriders and other Imperial forces.{{fn|1}}
Their commander is [[Traxian Talos]], the "High Strider" of the Regiment, who commands from within a specialized [[Command Vehicle|Command]] [[Sentinel]] and wields a master-crafted weapon called the '''Blade of Command.'''{{fn|1}}
