Walkers and Civilian Vehicles

40K Stats

By Tim DuPertuis


WALKERS

Walkers are a class of vehicles that are of basically civilian/ industrial origin that are occasionally adapted to military use. They differ from Titans in that while Titans are purpose-built military vehicles with mind-link operator interface, heavy armor and multiple backup systems, walkers are driven and non­military, making them slower, clumsier and not as tough as similarly sized Titans. They also don't have military, power systems so can't carry the same weapons load that a military vehicle can. Light Walkers use the Dreadnought Crit Chart while Medium and heavier Walkers use the vehicle Crit Chart.

An ED-209 and, 1/144 scale Destraid Defender used as Imperial Dreadnoughts. The Defender was used as a Anti-Aircraft Dreadnought with special rules for hitting high speed flyers, but is no longer needed because of the maximum -2 'to hit modifier from the Battle Manual. Also shown are a Sentinel and a Star, Wars A T-ST used as a medium Walker.
