here comes a time in every campaign when a decisive blow is required to crush the enemy beneath the steel treads of the Imperial Guard. For such battles, all the available forces are mustered at their greatest strength. A spearhead of tanks leads the charge into the enemy. The "Emperor's Fist" formation, consisting of Leman Russ and Leman Russ Demolishers, is the ideal force for such a duty.

Emperor's Fist tank companies are led by the most experienced tank aces, able to keep the vehicles under them moving even under intense enemy fire. The squadron and company commanders' vehicles are fitted with an array of vox transceivers that allow them to coordinate the actions of their vehicles, no matter how arduous the battle.
