The Black Lions (War Wagons - Helblasters)
Do not be deceived, for the rampant lion's bite is immeasurably worse than its fearsome roar.The Helblaster is one of the most infamous black powder weapons ever invented, its devastating firepower able to tear apart an entire regiment of enemy troops with a single, thunderous volley. The lethal creation of the deranged Imperial Engineer von Meinkopt, this weapon’s terrifying reputation has spread to all corners of the Old World. Its nine separate barrels are divided into three decks turned by a central crank, firing around three shots per deck to shatter the enemy in hail of miniature cannonballs. Helblaster crews may choose to fire all three decks in quick succession, or to load and fire them one after another – either method has its advantages.

Strengths & Weaknesses
- Armoured
Armoured units can block damage from any source apart fromArmour-Piercing damage.
