About this episode

This episode explores the history and roles of the Land Raider and Predator Battle Tanks in the Adeptus Astartes.

*Ad Free Version available on Lorehammer Patreon, link below.* The Land Raider and Predator Battle Tanks stand as two of the most iconic armored vehicles of the Adeptus Astartes, ancient engines of war that embody the Space Marines’ doctrine of overwhelming force, relentless assault, and armored supremacy. In this episode of Lorehammer, we explore the history, battlefield roles, and enduring legacy of these legendary war machines, from the unstoppable spearhead assaults of the Land Raider and its many sacred variants, to the brutal versatility of the Predator in both anti-infantry and tank-hunting roles. We examine how different Space Marine Chapters employ these revered vehicles, the machine spirits that dwell within them, and why both the Land Raider and Predator have remained cornerstones of Astartes armored warfare for ten thousand years since the Horus Heresy.
