Armed with an array of heavy lance batteries on the prow, and additional lance turrets along the dorsal spine, the Tribune can swiftly overwhelm enemy ships in a blinding flash of energy weapons, and any that survive will be broken apart by plasma broadsides and strafing runs from Thunderhawk Gunships. A variant of the Legate, the Tribune sacrifices some of its planetary assault capability for increased naval firepower. The Tribune is a less common sight within the Astartes fleets, but is found more often in fleet based Chapters. This ship uses the "Battle Barge" entry from BFG:A Unfortunately for the enemies of Mankind, these vessels are invariably accompanied by numerous other Astartes vessels.
