Eradicator

An Ultramarines Eradicator Squad

An Eradicator, who is usually part of an Eradicator Squad, is a Primaris Space Marine dedicated to a close range fire support role, particularly against enemy armour and fortified positions.

Before the molten ire of an Eradicator Squad's thermal ray Melta Weapons, heavy armour and static defensive positions stand little chance. Eradicators wear the heavier Mark X Gravis Power Armour pattern, allowing them to stride unharmed through waves of incoming fire before bringing their own destructive weaponry to bear at close range.
