Deimos Vindicator Laser Destroyer

The Vindicator Laser Destroyer was a variant of the standard Legion Deimos Vindicator, an early pattern of Vindicator siege tank that was used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and later during the Horus Heresy in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia. Instead of the usual heavy-calibre Demolisher Cannon, this specialised variant instead utilised a the powerful Laser Destroyer Array. This powerful weapon was an ancient variant of lascannon technology, the multi-barrelled laser destroyer fires a burst of short pulses microseconds apart which have been designed to bore through the most resilient armour. First retrofitted into the heavily armoured Deimos pattern Vindicator chassis during the dark days of the Horus Heresy, several Legions took to fielding this variant as a mainline battle tank, proving itself on many occasions as an able tank hunter. After millennia of brutal warfare across the galaxy, it is still in favour within the Space Marine Chapters, the Vindicator Laser Destructor continuing to bring retribution to the enemies of Mankind.

Armament

 * 1 Laser Destroyer Array
 * Smoke Launchers
 * Searchlight
 * Power Capacitor - The vehicle's internal volume, which is normally taken up with a munitions store for the more common Vindicator's Demolisher Cannon, is instead occupied by a bulky reactor-charged power capacitor whose energy stores can be used to greatly increase the laser destroyer's rate of fire. Stability is required for this overcharged firing however, and it is possible for the capacitor to overload the vehicle's energy grid with disastrous consequences.
