The Hades is a standard pattern breaching device, a tool used for excavation and assaulting fortified positions which using its rotating power cutters and melta can bore through rock, earth and steel with equal ease. Used in the desperate tunnel fighting in the battle for Vraks by the Engineers of the Death Korps of Krieg, the Hades is a powerful tool allowing them to undermine the strongest defences and launch raids into the heart of the enemy, striking unexpectedly from below. Designed by Will Hayes you can see pictures of this unique model Here and rules for its use in Warhammer 40,000 can be found in Imperial Armour Volume 6: The Siege of Vraks Part 2.

The Hades Breaching Drill is available for pre-order now, for release the week commencing the 22nd of September.

@sagt mal, kann es sein das der Schütze vom Mole Launcher schielt?

Nee, der wird wie alle Pioniere in der rechten Linse `ne bionische Verstärkung haben...

Der Minotaur ist endlich mal `ne Haubitze auf Selbstfahrlafette für mein DKoK (wollte mir im Okt. die Medusa oder `nen Earthshaker und einen Trojan bestellen - da haben die Jungs aus Nottingham mir doch glatt die Entscheidung abgenommen ^_^)
Ich bin sehr auf die Regeln im IA6 gespannt - die Ergänzungen für die Pioniere sehen auch sehr nett aus - well done!
