'''Armigers''' are a sub-classification of [[Sentinel]] designed and employed by the [[Forerunners]] for use in [[planetary warfare]].{{Ref/Book|Id=WFG|HWF|Page=90|Quote=Forerunner combat Sentinels used in planetary operations. The spread of the logic plague and corruption of armiger forces was a major blow to Warrior-Servant military effectiveness.}} Unlike typical Sentinel designs, primarily renowned for their use of flight, armigers are bipedal combat platforms specialising in tactical infantry engagements within enemy constructs and on planetary surfaces. Armigers were particularly heavily used by the Forerunners in their [[Human-Forerunner wars|campaigns]] against [[Ancestors|ancient humanity]] and later, their [[Forerunner-Flood war|genocidal war]] against the [[Flood]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=330-331}} | '''Armigers''' are a sub-classification of [[Sentinel]] designed and employed by the [[Forerunners]] for use in [[planetary warfare]].{{Ref/Book|Id=WFG|HWF|Page=90|Quote=Forerunner combat Sentinels used in planetary operations.
