Gladiator Valiant

The Valiant is a powerful Space Marines combat vehicle that provides support for infantry and transports, maneuvering through all kinds of terrain with ease, while its twin las-talons efficiently annihilate enemy armor and fortifications.

Similarly, the Gladiator, built on an Impulsor’s chassis, functions as a front line battle tank, and the Valiant-pattern Gladiator variant excels at close-range destruction of enemy vehicles with its turret-mounted twin las-talon and multi-melta sponsons, making it a perfect choice for aggressive tactics.
