The Helblaster Wagon is a war machine of the Empire. [1]
It is designed to work as a ambush weapon, the gun concealed by boxes and the awning which are both shed when it goes into action against raiders. [1]
History
The Master Engineer Luigi Giovanni, whose workshop is located deep in the Forest of Shadows had the delivery wagon of a Helblaster Volley Gun ambushed by raiders. He salvaged the remains of the Gun that had been pressed into service to defend the convoy atop the wagon before it exploded and inspired, for several months labored to produce the first Helblaster Wagon. [1]
He and three colleagues from Altdorf then set out along the woodland road to test it on unsuspecting bandits. [1]
The Helblaster Wagon would later become a important escort vehicle for valuable wagon trains and the coaches of the Imperial Mail. [1]
Weapons and Equipment
The gun is mounted on a rotating platform which allows it to fire in any direction but as it does not have the special suspension of a War Wagon it is forced to stick to roads. Should it leave the road, the crew can do little more than hang on as it bumps and grinds along. [1]
