Description
“All around the Caspian Rock, A Spriggen chased the Broadside. The Spriggan stopped to focus up, Pop! Went the Spriggan.” - 31st Trenchers on the Broadside's fighting ability.
Escalation is inevitable in war. When man first took a stick as a weapon, his enemy took up a stone in response. It continues to this day with great fervor. When Khador was first unveiled its newest Heavy Warjack, The Behemoth, a call was made to all engineer from all over Cygnar to solve this new problem. Several attempts were made, but very few came close. One of them was warjack created by an eccentric Mechanik and her pupils called the Broadside. The Broadside was built from the chassis of a broken down Freebooter that was missing it's head and both its arms. Like an artist with a blank canvas Arcane Mechanik Josephine Brandth along with her pupils Aisha Ferraro and Marco Sacre went to work on creating a unique Warjack not found anywhere in all of Immoren. However a few issues had to be met; many internal systems that allowed the Freebooter to work underwater were removed to strengthen the chassis, its already impressive servomechanisms were enhanced with pneumatic venting so it can hold up even greater loads. Other then extensive modifications, The Broadside had two features that seperate itself from normal warjacks: one was a turret system mounted on top of the Freebooter chassis that housed a unique weapon called a Magnetized Howitzer, or Rail Gun as Marco had termed it. Using two magnets parallel along one another along with a stong electrical force caused projectiles to strike targets with tremendous strength, and all the while not even using a single grain of powder. This also allowed the Broadside to change to a different ammunition type when situations changed, but it still required a Warcaster to order it to do so. The second innovation was the incorporation of a second Cortext inside the turret, instead of a mere sub-cortex like the ones found on the Behemoth. Coinded the Gemini System, it not only allowed the Broadside to reload and fire the cannon independently, it can also keep fighting if the rest of the warjack was disabled. In essence the Broadside is two warjack put into one body. The warjack itself met the requirement asked by the military, but due to being untested and the fact that it was built on the chassis of an already heavily damaged 'Jack, it was eventually rejected. Undaunted by the rejection, Josephine gave the Broadside to her pupil Marco who was already working as a mercenary. This was found to be an unusual act as Josephine Brandth is infamous for having a price for everything she gives. She merely said this to her colleagues who questioned here actions: "The final test of any good weapon is by a baptism of fire, besides I left a little gift inside just in case."
Special Rules
Broadside
- Gemini Cortex- This model can be allocated an additional focus point while the Gemeni Cortex is not crippled. When the Gemeni Cortex is crippled this model loses circular vision and cannot boost ranged attack or damage rolls. While the cortex is crippled, if the Gemeni Cortex is not crippled then this model may be stil be allocated one focus.
- Circular Vision- This models front arc extends 360 degrees.
- Smoke Bombs (Action) - Place a 3˝ AOE cloud effect in play. Its center point must be within 1˝ of this model. This AOE remains in play for one round..
- Final End- When this model is destroyed, before it is removed from play all models within 2" suffer an unboostable POW 12 damage roll. Then this model is then removed from play.
Revolver Spike
- Sustained Attack - During this model's activation when it makes an attack with this weapon against the last model hit by the weapon this activation, the attack automatically hits.
- Critical Knockdown- On a critical hit, the model hit is knocked down.
- Open Fist- The Broadside's Revolver Fists have the abilities of an Open Fist
Magnetized Howitzer
- Alt. Ammunition - The Magnetized Howitzer may spend a focus point to make its initial attack. If it does so, choose one of the following effects.:
- Armor Piercing Shell - The attack is RNG 20 POW 10. Attacks against small based models gain +2 POW, attacks against medium and large based models halve the ARM.
- Devestation Shell - The attack is RNG 10 POW 14 AOE 4
- Smite Shell - This attack is RNG 14 POW 16. A model directly hit by this attack is slammed D6" directly away from this model.
