Grundstok Gunhauler
Grundstok Gunhaulers are attack craft of the Kharadron Overlords and are among the lightest vessels in Sky-Fleets. Unlike larger ships they do not belong the Arkanaut fleets but to the Grundstok Company whose contractors are hirded by the Sky-fleets to act as escorts. [1a]
Design
Gunhauler is a two-duardin attack craft, propelled by a single buoyancy endrin and armed with an array of deadly main and secondary armaments. A Gunhauler is able to divert more power to its aether-endrin so it fly even faster. [1a]
Role
Gunhaulers will, depending on the Admiral's orders alternate between defensive and offensive roles. When on the offensive, they are often sent to eliminate specific targets which they seek out through the chaos of battle before blasting them to shreds. They are also able to defend larger vessels and each crewman has been relentlessly drilled in the importance of safeguarding their sister ships. Gunhauler pilots use the craft’s high agility to interdict airborne enemies and will even position themselves to physically absorb an incoming attack. Despite their size Gunhaulers are still sturdy, duardin-made constructs built to endure heavy damage. [1a]
Armaments
The main weapon of a Gunhauler is either a Sky Cannon or a Drill Cannon which fire shells that burrow into the target and then explode. In addition it carries an Aethershot Carbine, Boarding Weapons and Bomb Racks which carry bombs and skymines. [1a]
