The Land Raider Crusader is designed to utilise the potent all-round armour of the Land Raider against the heaviest enemy defences and fortifications. It is employed to smash into enemy lines before disgorging Space Marines into the heart of a fortified position as its weapons unleash a torrent of fire in support. It is a brutal tactic, well-suited to the Space Marines' role as peerless shock warriors. The Land Raider Crusader variant was first developed and deployed during the Jerulas Crusade by the Black Templars Chapter and as such is a comparatively recent addition to the canon of Land Raider variants.

  • The Land Raider Crusader is designed to utilise the potent all-round armour of the Land Raider against the heaviest enemy defences and fortifications. It is employed to smash into enemy lines before disgorging Space Marines into the heart of a fortified position as its weapons unleash a torrent of fire in support. It is a brutal tactic, well-suited to the Space Marines' role as peerless shock warriors. The Land Raider Crusader variant was first developed and deployed during the Jerulas Crusade by the Black Templars Chapter and as such is a comparatively recent addition to the canon of Land Raider variants. The Jerulas Crusader involved a grueling campaign of sieges of hive cities and the Black Templars invariably led the final assaults when the bombardment lifted. To aid their assault troops, the Chapter's Techmarines mounted Hurricane Bolters in each sponson and a twin-linked Assault Cannon on the hull. It was an immediate success and, as news of the Black Templars' magnificent victories on Jerulas spread, other Chapters requested the re-armament protocols and re-consecration rituals utilised. To this day, the Black Templars still make wider use of the Crusader than any other Chapter. As word of the Crusader's existence spread, a delegation of senior Tech-adepts arrived from Mars demanding an audience with the High Marshal, intent upon investigating the modification. It is likely that the Tech-priests feared a repetition of earlier instances of details of new patterns being deliberately withheld from their Order. In 763.M39, after long debate and testing, the Land Raider Crusader pattern was given Chapter Approved status by the Fabricator-General of the Adeptus Mechanicus and was officially recognised in the canon of machine lore. Yet even before its official sanction, the Crusader pattern had found extensive use in the armouries of numerous Space Marine Chapters.
