IMPERIAL ARMOUR

The following rules are for the Forge World Imperial Armour vehicles.  They are taken from the Citadel Journal articles and may or may not have been changed by the time the Imperial Armour book was printed.  This page is by no means a substitute for that book, and if you want full rules, background, and other information about these and other vehicles, as well as the most recent version of these rules, you should buy the Imperial Armour book.
