Siegfried Light Tank and Pachyderm APC PDF Print E-mail
Written by Col. huckenbein   

A pair of vehicles I have created for Dark Heresy games. The Siegfried is taken from the Swordwind expansion for the Epic Armageddon game, while the Pachyderm is of my own invention. my thanks to FFG for creasting an excellent game, to Dark Reign for an equally good fansite and especially to all those involved in the Apocryphy:Vehicles expansion posted on this site for inspiration. Standard Disclamer applies.

Siegfried Light Tank

 

The Siegfried is another variant of the famous Land Crawler. It is produced in the huge underground factory complexes of Krieg, and was developed during the Krieg Rebellion as a replacement for the Sentinel, whose complex gyro-stabilised locomotive system and light armour were considered unsuitable for the conditions that prevailed at the time. Although no longer used by Death Korps regiments, who prefer to use the more versatile Sentinel, the Siegfried is still utilised in large numbers by PDF forces.

The Siegfried replaces the simple and sturdy catalytic engine of the Land Crawler and Bruennhilde with a considerably more powerful gas turbine engine. The improved power-weight ratio gives the Siegfried almost double the top speed of the Land Crawler, even though it is fitted with considerably more armour. PDF forces use them to great effect to against lightly equipped insurrectionists, although against heavier opposition, the Siegfried will be rapidly outclassed. An increasingly popular modification is to replace the multilaser with a heavy flamer, essentially creating a poor man’s Hellhound and a extremely effective weapon in urban warfare.

Pachyderm APC

A six-wheeled APC that provides reasonable protection for troops against fire at a reasonable cost. Essentially a poor man’s Rhino, this vehicle is popular across the Calixis sector as a PDF transport. It has also seen use as a riot suppression vehicle. Normally, it carries a heavy stubber for protection, but some outfitted for riot suppression will exchange this for a grenade launcher outfitted with choke grenades or a Webber.
