Malakai's Airship the «Spirit of Grungni» (Photo from German Games Day 2006)

Malakai Makaisson was a master engineer of the dwarfen Engineer's Guild. He was the brain behind the creation of a dwarven Iron Clad steam ship, named «Unsinkable» that went to the ground of the ocean on its first voyage, taking a lot of crew members with it. After that, he invented an Airship, named the «Undestructible», that exploded on its first flight, killing a lot of courageous dwarfs. After this, Malakai was shaven and thrown out of the engenier's Guild in dishonour. Unable to live with such a shame Malakai took the Slayer Oath. Although now a Slayer, Malakai Makaisson didn't stop inventing, and in 2499 IC he created a new Airship.

After an episode with Thanquol and Boneripper that tried to steal the new Airship, named the «Spirit of Grungni», Gotrek and Felix used the Zeppelin, to make a voyage deep into the Chaos Wastes to evacuate the lost Dwarven Stronghold of Karak Dum. Coming back, they saved the young Ulrika Magdova in the steppes of Kislev from being kidnapped by Thanquol's Skaven. The Airship even survived a confrontation with a large Dragon before it went to Karak Kadrin for repair and refitting. While Gotrek, Felix and a bunch of other slayers killed the Dragon, the Airship came in just at the last moment to destroy an overwhelming horde of Orcs and Goblins with its bombing as well as a Bandit Army, that was out for the Dragon's Treasure. Then he brought the surviving adventurers to the Kislevite city of Praag. There Malakai's Airship's bombing later helped to destroy a large Chaos Army that laid siege on the city.

Malakai Makaisson's Goblin-hewer

Later Malakai Makaisson constructed the Goblin-hewer, an axe-throwing machinery of destruction. With that new invention he became a Mercenary, that worked exclusively for Dwarfs, the Empire and Dogs of War Armies and although would be part of the Slayer Cult Army during the Storm of Chaos.
