Stormhammers were configured to serve at the vanguard of expeditions into areas considered hostile not just because of the presence of an enemy force, but due to perilous environmental factors. The Stormhammer was armed with a massive array of turret and sponson-mounted weapons that could be fired on multiple fire arcs. The Stormhammer Super-Heavy Assault Tank was the super-heavy tank of choice for the elite Solar Auxilia regiments of the Imperial Army during the Great Crusade and most cohorts maintained at least a single one of these massive tanks, while some fielded entire companies of these vehicles.
