Description

Steamhead Legion, Advanced Cygnaran Troopers

The advancement of technology and the desperate requirement to match each of Cygnars enemies. From the hideous darkness of cryx to the legions of steam powered trooper from Khador's man-of-wars, the Steamhead legion is the latest refinement in Cygnars ingenuity and research. The well refined suits of armor provide far greater speed and manueverability than their Khadoran counterparts. The Steamhead legion has proven to be an effective means of countering enemies in extreme environments, the bulk of their armor and its many unusual refinements allows it to withstand a wide array of enemy onslaughts that would kill a lesser man instantly.

The Steamhead legion are Cygnars new home guard, though they are expected to undertake more aggresive roles when their numbers increase. In combination with their advanced defence mechanisms they posses a dangerious array of offensive weapons to deal with adversaries. They are capable of venting the heated steam at enemy infantry scalding flesh and leaving behind only wasted corpses. Their primary armament is a minature shock hammer that is able to fry the cortexes of enemy jacks through their armor and leave them prey to dismatlment by repeated blows.

A Cygnar heavy infantry unit. Uses there power hammers and steam guns to clear opposition. They are super resistant to some attacks.
