Every Imperial ﬂeet is supported by hundreds

of secondary vessels, mostly chartered or

commandeered merchant vessels used to

transport supplies between embattled systems.

The most common of these ships are the

Imperial transports, but across the Imperium

there are a vast array of different space faring

vessels, any of which can be pressed into

service at need.

Super heavy transports are used to support

large ﬂeet actions, such as planetary assaults.

Each is capable of carrying tens of thousands of

men and thousands of vehicles. They are also

used by Adeptus Mechanicus Titan Legions for

moving their huge war machines or enough

munitions to supply an entire army. Such a

concentration of vulnerable forces needs

protecting, and most ﬂeet commanders assign

dedicated escort vessels to a squadron of Super

heavy transports, and position them at the

centre of the ﬂeet’s formation for maximum

protection. The loss of one of these vessels

during a planetary assault can have huge

long–term effects on the ground campaign.

As well as their military role Super heavy

transports are also used as bulk ore or grain

carriers, and damaged vessels have been

converted into supply bases, hospital vessels

and forward repair facilities for ﬂeets operating

in isolated or primitive systems.

Notes: Super heavy Transports do not have

the powerful drives ﬁtted to warships. When

using All Ahead Full orders only add

+3D6cm to their speed. They also reduce

their randomly rolled leadership by one, so

they have a leadership between 5 and 8.

Super heavy Transports have ‘special’ for

their point’s value as they are only used as

objectives in missions.

Using Super Heavy Transports

You can use Super heavy transports as straight

replacements for standard transports. You can

use them in Convoy scenarios, in which case a

single Super heavy transport counts as two

standard transports. For every Super heavy

transport taken, the defender may choose up

to 100 points of ships to protect it. For the

purpose of victory conditions each Super heavy

transport that exits the board edge is worth

two standard transports.

In planetary assault scenarios a Super heavy

transport counts as two standard transports, so

the attacker may take one for every 500 points

of his ﬂeet. He may mix standard transports

and Super heavy transports freely.

A Super heavy transport delivers 4 assault

points per turn that it remains within 30cm of

the edge of the planet. Whilst deploying troops

it may not do anything else.

IMPERIAL SUPER HEAVY FUEL TRANSPORTS . . . .pts/special

Every Imperial Guard army requires vast

amounts of supplies, not least amongst them

fuel. Every tank, armoured carrier, aircraft and

vehicle needs it to operate. Fuel supplies will

often need to be shipped to an army, and a

secure, constant supply is always a high

priority for any ground commander. This

supply is often carried on one huge tanker. A

Super heavy fuel transport can carry enough

fuel to support an entire campaign. As such

defending them is vital.

their randomly rolled Leadership by 1, so they

heavy transports have ‘special’ for their points

Fuel transports carry highly flammable

cargoes. When hit they are likely to explode

spectacularly. When rolling on the Critical

Hits table add +2 to the dice roll. The

maximum result is still a 12.

When rolling on the Catastrophic Damage

table also add +2 to the dice roll. The

maximum result is still a 12.

Just like Imperial forces Eldar ﬂeets need the

support of transports. Unlike Imperial forces

these transport are fast, stealthy and hard to

the catch. Because they are harder to catch and

considering that Eldar cargoes are likely to

contain more valuable items than Imperial

food supplies, the victory conditions of the

Convoy Run scenario are changed when the

Eldar are defending the convoy.
