So, has anyone a clue as to what the loyalists were equipped with/ had at their disposal? I know it wouldn't be much and that it'll mostly (if not entirely) be composed of infantry, but if anyone could share some specifics or similar I would greatly appreciate it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8341194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8341194.page GMT Does Anyone Know What The Loyalist Forces Had on Istvaan III?
Betrayal notes that the Death Guard were the only legion to land 'any significant armoured vehicle contingent' which I take to mean that the other legions landed *insignificant* armoured vehicle contingents, which given the invasion force numbered almost 100,000 marines could easily mean a dozen or more of every armoured vehicle type per legion..

The only specific mentions of armour I recall *after* the virus bombing was that the loyalist Death Guard had salvaged Malcador tanks from the Isstvanian armouries whilst some of the 'traitor' Death Guard 'heavy siege units' had mutinied and joined them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8341411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8341411.page GMT Does Anyone Know What The Loyalist Forces Had on Istvaan III?
What I wouldn't expect though would be things like Super Heavies or Sicarans or Spartans or anything else described as 'rare' or 'advanced' in the fluff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342522.page GMT Does Anyone Know What The Loyalist Forces Had on Istvaan III?

Vehicle amounts isn't clear, they had every kind of tech the Astartes at the time had available to them]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342692.page GMT Does Anyone Know What The Loyalist Forces Had on Istvaan III?
Decima's Istavaan survivor force even allows you to take an SM tank that he salvaged from the wreckage in the army list, as an example.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/674431/8342695.page GMT
