#Warhammer 40k# Famous variant of RAND Raider: Prometheus Rand Raider
Origins and their history
The origins of the Promethean Rand Raider are mysterious, and according to the Imperial Armor, her origins are described in three ways:
First, the Promethean Rand raider was preceded by the Tartarus Rand attacker, who had lost almost all of his information. It is said that the predecessor of the Promethean Rand raider appeared in the ranks of loyalists as early as the Horus Rebellion.
The inventor of the Second, promethean Rand Raiders was the Salamander Legion, as they had a larger number of Rand Raiders known to be in the Order. But the Black Uncles denied this claim, and the number of Promethean Rand raiders known to be in the warband remains unclear, such as the white scarred armory of the start-up regiment, which contains only four Promethean Rand raiders. Other regiments may have at least one Promethean Rand raider hidden in their armory.
Third, the inventor of the Promethean-type Rand raider was Akhan Rand's follower, the "Rands", but there is little evidence for this.
The most famous story about this model of Rand attacker in the 40K period was the Battle of Masari, commanded by Kato Sicarius, the former commander of the U Regiment's former second company and now Kiriman's bodyguard.
Masari was an agrarian world under Otrama, and in that battle Sicarius relied only on two squad tactical squads, a Prometheus-type Rand raider, and two Rand rapid assault boats to fight three times as many Spirit pirate raiders.
At that time, the second company commander used this tactic: using the Promethean Rand raider as a defensive anchor to kill a large number of Infantry of the Spirit Pirates, and then sniping the Spirit Clan's jet motorcycle one by one with the high accuracy of the Prometheus Rand attacker. In the end, the other troops advanced to encircle and completely annihilated the remaining Spirit Clan.
After the battle, the second company commander received the first-class marksman's badge, and the Rand attacker remained one of the armaments of the Extreme Warrior Regiment.
The equipment and abilities of the Promethean Rand raiders
The Promethean Rand Raider was also developed based on the MK5 standard RAND Attacker. Her positioning is a front-line command vehicle that can serve as the front-line command center for the Astate Combat Force without the use of the Damocles Rhino Command Vehicle, so that it is often garrisoned with starfighter officers.
In terms of armament, the two side-mounted main guns of the Promethean Rand Raider were replaced by quadruple heavy explosives from the twin laser cannon, and the double heavy explosive shells used as secondary guns were replaced by a top-cover storm explosive gun manually operated by a starfighter for close-range anti-infantry. And free up
The space is used to house battlefield reconnaissance command equipment such as multi-band communication systems.
The Promethean Rand attackers were equipped with a multi-band communication command system, transmission monitoring equipment to intercept and decrypt enemy communications, multispectral bird detector equipment, an interactive interface system that displayed status information, and enhanced loudspeaker equipment. Although slightly inferior to damocles rhino command car, she is still a powerful command and dispatch unit.
Although the firepower configuration of the Prometheus-type Rand attackers appeared to be weaker. But the installation of additional electronics and a fire control system greatly improved her accuracy.
In terms of transportation, the Promethean Rand Raider can carry 10 Starfighters or 5 Terminators. She can also be equipped with additional equipment: extra armor, a Hunter missile round, a top cover multi-tube hot melt, a searchlight, and a smoke grenade launcher.
