The weapon is aimed by the vehicle commander/gunner through a multi-spectral remote targeting surveyor and accuracy talisman. [1a] It fires explosive ammunition, each round larger than a Space Marine's fist, which easily chew through heavily-armoured infantry and light vehicles. [2a] Multi-Melta now D6 shots, Strength 5, AP -1, Damage 1 – This is contradictory and could be a misprint (it’s heavy flamer stats) or it could be an alternate fire mode Betalis III Campaign - The Space Wolves used Rhinos during the defence of Betalis III against the Asuryani of Craftworld Mymeara.

Raid on Kastorel-Novem - The Ork klanz of the Death Skulls, Goffs, and Evil Sunz used captured Rhinos against the Raven Guard and other Imperial Forces who were invading the Ork world of Kastorel-Novem. In time, the vehicle became the standard fighting vehicle of human armed forces across the galaxy. Recovered STC databases provided the early Imperial armies with Rhino variants still in use today, such as the Predator, Immolator and Whirlwind. There are many other variants, now lost to the depths of time only awaiting rediscovery.Imperial Armour Volume Two, Second Edition - War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes, pp. 185, 187, 192-194, 211-212 Kaurava Campaign - The Blood Ravens Space Marine Chapter and the Alpha Legion Traitor Legion deployed Rhinos during the Kaurava Campaign.

The APC's chassis is based upon a Standard Template Construct, meaning that it is relatively simple to build, maintain and repair.This means your Space Wolves Assault Intercessors can hop into a Stormwolf gunship, and your Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard can ride around in a Repulsor heavy transport.
