The Mastodon is one of the heaviest assault transports in the arsenal of the Legiones Astartes and is reserved for use against the most heavily fortified positions. Several times the size of a Land Raider, it can convey over forty Space Marines through the most perilous of battlefields and protect them from incoming fire. The Mastodon’s primary role is to deliver these troops directly into the breach created with the siege melta array mounted on its armoured prow. Few fortifications can withstand this fearsome weapon, the Legionaries passing through the melted stone and steel directly into the heart of the enemy position.
