Centaur

The Centaur is a small armoured utility vehicle of the Imperial Guard that is used in a wide variety of battlefield roles. The Centaur can be used as a Command Squad transport, a communications vehicle, a supply vehicle, but is most commonly used as an artillery tow vehicle during sieges. The vehicle has a normal crew of only two, a driver, and a gunner, but can be crew by just one. During sieges the Centaur can tow around the lighter pieces of artillery, and the crew can ride in the back until they reach their destination, up to five passengers can ride in a Centaur.

Uses
The Centaur can be used in a large number of roles, but the most common use is that of artillery tow vehicle. The vehicle has a very powerful engine capable of pulling artillery such as the Heavy Mortar Cannon and Quad Cannon across the battlefield, it can also pull the much heavier Earthshaker Cannon and Medusa Siege Gun, but only on flat terrain. Passengers in a Centaur can mount any heavy or special weapons they may have to a mount on the vehicle near the front, adding their firepower the vehicle's. A Centaur can also be assigned to a grenadier squad as a transport, in this case the vehicle is also given extra armour plating to protect its crew and passengers from enemy fire. If not being used to tow heavy weapons, the vehicle is capable of moving very quickly, at speeds up to seventy kilometres per hour off road, the crew enjoys this as it keeps them safe from enemy fire.

Armament
The Centaur is armed with only a single Pintle-mounted Heavy Stubber, but can accept any heavy or special weapons that its passengers are carrying. The vehicle can also be upgraded with camouflage netting, extra armour, a mine sweeper, rough terrain modifications, a searchlight, track guards, and a smoke launcher.
