Coronus Grav Carrier
Originally, the Custodes only had boring old Grav-Rhino transports. But FW took one look at them and went 'fuck that' and replaced them with the Coronus. Triaros-sized, the Coronus is described as the Razorback of the Custodes, which leads you to wonder just how big their Grav-Spartans are going to be. Armed with twin-linked Lastrum bolt cannon and Arachnus blaze cannon, the Coronus Grav Carrier is perhaps one of the most recognized vehicles used exclusively by the Legio Custodes.
This heavily protected transport skimmer provides them with a degree of speed and agility unmatched by the grinding armor of others who fight in the name of the Emperor, allowing the Legio Custodes to deploy rapidly into a range of terrain whilst reducing the risk of being pinned down by enemy forces. You could say that in contrast to the Eldar tanks, what it lacks in elegance makes up for it pimpin'BLING. The Custodes sure know how to ride in style.
Principally used as a transport (Hence its fucking name if you haven't even guessed) and like every other fucking vehicle palette swap in the Imperium, the strikingly-designed Custodes exclusive Coronus Grav Carrier served as the technological basis for the Pallas and Caladius grav-craft. Seriously you would think that the Imperium would have been much more creative with their vehicle designs during the Great Crusade, but it seems that the Emperor/Fabricator General of Mars really, really liked the whole idea of 'swapping the turret on a vehicle chassis and call it a day' shlick.
While its primary function is transporting a unit of warriors into battle, its armaments such as its hull-mounted Lastrum bolt cannon and turret-mounted Arachnus blaze cannon ensure that it is more than capable of mounting an appropriately aggressive defense force. Trying to ram the Coronus onto enemy infantry like a Leman Russ or trying to do a anti-grav wheelie is highly looked down upon by the Techpriests of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
