==Callsign"Warbeast"==

The tank that would later become infamous post-Heresy originally served with the Second Sons as a standard Predator. Third chapter, second battalion, sixth company. It survived for almost a hundred years in continuous service during the Crusade before the outbreak of the Heresy, and was deployed on Armageddon at the time. It had seen numerous modifications over the course of it's long service, including a larger bore main gun to fire specialized radium and phosphex shells and significantly increased armor. It had also already received numerous appellations from it's crews, some having died while the tank stayed in service, the most famous being the large image of a snarling xenos on the gun and the accompanying low gothic scrawl "WARBEAST". At Armageddon Warbeast and the rest of it's battalion were deployed in the central marshland, one of the most contested regions of the war torn planet. By the end of the conflict, the entire rest of it's company had been wiped out and Warbeast was operating alone with no contact with command. More than once the Predator was bogged down and almost overwhelmed by orks, but every time it held out. Eventually, when the Second Sons decimated Armageddon, Warbeast and her crew fled with the Undying Scions back to Terra. 

On Terra the Predator continued service on the front line, with it's legion markings removed, eventually being overwhelmed and lost during a traitor attack. The tank was then recovered by a loyalist counter attack, still mostly intact but the crew dead to the last. It was evacuated from the planet by a group of loyalist black-shields.

It has since served nearly ten millennia, fighting doggedly with the descendants of the Blackshields that recovered her. Hundreds of crews dead or moved on, thousands of battles fought, and uncountable modifications, repairs, and new designs scratched or painted onto her hull. Warbeast fights on, an enduring icon of the loyalists from the traitor legions.
