Delve into Every Story! Centurion: When Tanks Become Space Marine!

Hello, friends, Pokwarhammer Warrior, report again! Today I'm going to take my friends and delve into one of the most iconic and controversial units in the Warhammer 40k industry, which is Centurions, a unit that many consider "funny," but in fact incredibly powerful!

This article I will analyze all the data from reliable sources to give my friends a real understanding of Centurion's abilities and role.

1.What is Centurion? Walking Wheel Mounted Armor!

In other words, Centurion is a Space Marine wearing a Centurion Warsuit, or a gigantic energy-powered exoskeleton suit, which is worn over their regular Power Armour.

Imagine that the usually very strong Space Marine, wearing tank-like armor and artillery-class weapons, is the introduction of tank firepower into the infantry!

Their primary role is to be the penetrator or siege of a fortress whose durability and intensity trump speed.

2.Origin and features of Centurion Warsuit

The Centurion battle suit was discovered after the Age of Apostasy in the 36th millennium, and after Adeptus Mechanicus approved it, it was immediately put to work in several chapters.

The battle suit is made of thick, carefully assembled ceramic plates that make the wearer almost immune from the most powerful weapons. Although it is not directly connected to the Black Carapace like the Terminator armor, it requires a very focused and determined pilot to control it.

So how is Centurion different from the Terminator?

Centurion is just an exoskeleton suit worn over normal armor, but the Terminator is a skilled warrior from Chapter's 1st Company who wears Tactical Dreadnought Armour, which is a much more advanced technology, giving them the ability to withstand more brutal environments. In summary, Centurion is a powerful walking armor, and the Terminator is a super-level warrior as strong as a tank.

3.Difference: Centurion Assault vs. Devastator Squads

Centurion has two completely different main lines based on their mission, sir.

Centurion Devastator Squads:

These are long-range support fire experts who can destroy anything in their path! They come with a variety of heavy weapons:

Grav-cannons

Twin heavy bolters

Twin lascannons

Centurion missile launchers

They act as mobile turrets that can control the battlefield remotely, forcing enemies to escape or shift their targets to eliminate them first.

Centurion Assault Squads:

This is a melee assault unit focused on destroying enemy fortifications. They dropped all their long-range firearms in exchange for:

Twin-linked Flamers or Twin-linked Meltaguns

Siege Drills that can penetrate armor or walls.

They serve as frontline units that charge into enemy areas to distract and destroy key targets.

4. Centurion's main weakness and solution

The biggest limitation of Centurion is its slow descent speed! They only have 4 inches of movement (while a typical Space Marine moves 6 inches), which allows them to enter key positions very slowly.

But this problem is solved, sir!

Transit Vehicles: Let them take passengers, large and fast vehicles like Stormraven Gunships, Land Raiders or Repulsors.

Detachment Rules: Some sub-army rules can provide special abilities, such as the Vanguard Spearhead, that can give units "teleportation" around the battlefield.

Weapon Ability: Having the word [Assault] on a weapon allows them to move forward and still fire, or Advance and Charge that allows them to move and charge on the same turn.

5.Battle Mechanism: Why is Centurion a terrible unit?

Although slow, when it comes to the battlefield, Centurion is the real destructive force, sir!

Durability Side:

Toughness Value 7: Make them resistant to large anti-armored weapons well

2 + Armor: The thickest armor in the game! Enemies must have a very high armor penetration value to reduce their saves.

4 Wounds: With a high blood value, it makes it difficult to kill them at once.

Attack side:

Decimator Protocols: This is the cool ability that makes them so accurate! They can reroll hit roll 1s. And if the target is near Objective, Marker will be able to reroll hit roll all of them!

Weapon Ability: Their weapons come with a brutal vocabulary:

Twin-linked: Can reroll Wound roll

Blast: Attack increases by the number of enemies. Makes a good deal with the crowd.

Sustained Hits X: Critical Hit Will Get X More Hits

6.Detachment Rules and Stratagems: Add Double-by-Two Brutality!

Detachment and Stratagems play a key role in empowering Centurions!

1 Detachment Abilities (sample):

Oath of Moment (Adeptus Astartes Faction Ability): Re-roll Hit rolls and + 1 to Wound rolls (if not the specified Chapter) for selected targets.

Decimator Protocols: Re-roll Hit roll of 1 or all Re-roll Hit rolls if the target is near the objective (Centurion Devastator Squad in particular)

Armoured Wrath (Ironstorm Spearhead): Re-roll Hit, Wound, or Damage roll once per unit per phase.

Close-range Eradication (Firestorm Assault Force): Long-range weapons [ASSAULT] and + 1 Strength when the target is within 12 "

Lightning Assault (Stormlance Task Force): Units can declare a Charge, even if Advance or Fall Back.

Shadow Masters (Vanguard Spearhead): Reduce -1 Hit Roll and Get

Benefit of Cover for long range attacks coming from beyond 12 "range

Extremis-level Threat (1st Company Task Force): Can Re-roll

Wound rolls for Oath of Moment goals once per game.

2 Stratagems (examples related to Centurion Devastator Squad optimization):

ARMOUR OF CONTEMPT (1CP): Worsens Armour Penetration Value of Enemy Attack 1

BATTLE DRILL RECALL (1CP, Anvil Siege Force): Remote Weapon

[SUSTAINED HITS 1] And if stationary, get Critical Hit at 5 +

NO THREAT TOO GREAT (2CP, Anvil Siege Force): Re-roll Wound roll when attacking MONSTER or VEHICLE.

IMMOLATION PROTOCOLS (2CP, Firestorm Assault Force): ARMS [TORRENT] CAN [DEVASTATING WOUNDS]

STORM OF FIRE (1CP, Gladius Task Force): Remote Weapon

[IGNORES COVER] And if it's in Devastator Doctrine, it gets AP add 1.

MERCY IS WEAKNESS (2CP, Ironstorm Spearhead): Weapon [SUSTAINED HITS 1] when attacking units below Starting Strength and VEHICLE, Critical Hit at 5 +

FIRE DISCIPLINE (1CP, Unforgiven Task Force): Remote Weapons [ASSAULT], [HEAVY], and [IGNORES COVERS]

STRIKE FROM THE SHADOWS (1CP, Vanguard Spearhead): Ballistic Skill and AP 1 added for long range attacks beyond 12 "

7. In the View of a Centurion Lover: Why Is It Loved?

Despite being considered a "bizarre" and controversial model, Centurion is loved by many fans!

They represent the "surreal" nature of the Warhammer 40k, its slow-looking design with "nipple guns" (Nipple Cannons) and enormous weapons, making them iconic and recognizable on the battlefield.

For many players, Centurion is a "turbulent and highly damaging" unit; they force their opponents to plan their cope carefully; and whether winning or losing, Centurion is always the hallmark of the match.

Also, Coloring Centurion is a satisfying experience because it has large panels that are easy to handle and a variety of weapon options to customize.

In a nutshell, Centurion may not be the most perfect model, but they are also a symbol of courage and prominence in the Grimdark universe and a perfect representation of the limitless fun of this hobby, sir.
