he Vindicator is another Space Marine vehicle based upon the Rhino Standard Template Construct data. The Vindicator sacrifices its transport capacity in order to mount reinforced armour, additional internal bracing and ammunition storage. This is needed for the massive Demolisher cannon mounted on the front of the hull, supported by thick recoil suppressors. Protected by an enormous armoured plate at the front, the Vindicator can move into position under intense enemy fire, approaching the walls of an enemy stronghold until its devastating armament is within range.

Chaos Vindicators were used extensively by the Traitor Legions during the Siege of the Imperial Palace, and have seen service in the Legions and with Renegade warbands all across the galaxy in the last ten thousand years. The Iron Warriors, the loyal followers of Perturabo, still field entire squadrons of Vindicators, emblazoned with Chaos symbols and adorned with the wreckage of fallen cities as trophies of victory.
