Masters of the Artillery School
The Empire's technological superiority is perfectly embodied in its experimental weaponry. The Helblaster Volley Gun is feared for its ability to tear apart heavy armor and cavalry charges with a devastating storm of black powder shot. Conversely, the Helstorm Rocket Battery fires a barrage of unpredictable, screaming rockets that rain down catastrophic explosions over a massive area, making it perfect for breaking large enemy formations. Complete with three detailed crew members holding essential artillery tools, this kit is an essential centerpiece for any defensive commander.
Reinforcing the Grand Army
This war machine acts as a critical force multiplier within the Empire of Man faction. It fits seamlessly alongside rank-and-file units like Halberdiers or Handgunners, providing them with heavy psychological and physical backing. Whether anchoring the center of your deployment or controlling a vital flank, it forces your opponent to rethink their advance.
Key Benefits of the Kit
- Massive damage potential capable of swinging the momentum of a turn in a single shooting phase.
- Exceptional modeling and painting project featuring wood textures, metallic surfaces, and detailed uniforms.
- Outstanding tactical flexibility allowing you to adapt your army list to face horde armies or elite monsters.
Practical Battlefield Applications
- Against Horde Armies: The Helstorm Rocket Battery is ideal for punishing massive blocks of low-armor infantry, where its area-of-effect blasts can cause maximum casualties.
- Against Elites and Monsters: The Helblaster Volley Gun delivers high-volume, high-strength piercing shots that can drop heavily armored knights and rampaging beasts instantly.
- Tactical Overview: Utilizing these weapons allows you to create a lethal zoning grid, filtering out soft targets at extreme distance or stopping hard targets dead in their tracks close to your lines.

Tactical Advice for the Battlefield
| Key Element | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Establish Fire Lanes | Deploy your war machine early in a position that covers objective zones or narrow passages where the enemy must pass. |
| Mitigate Misfires | Experimental black powder technology carries risks; always ensure you have backup units ready to fill a gap if a misfire occurs. |
| Screening Forces | Keep cheap infantry units nearby to prevent enemy light cavalry or flyers from easily charging and eliminating your crew. |
| Priority Target Selection | Use the immense damage output to soften up the highest-point models in the opposing list before regular combat begins. |
Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I build both the Volley Gun and the Rocket Battery from a single box? | No, the kit shares essential structural components like the wheeled carriage and chassis, allowing you to build only one of the two variants per box. |
| Is this kit appropriate for hobbyists who are new to building models? | It is rated as intermediate because aligning the gears, carriage, and barrels requires care, but the step-by-step guide makes it very manageable. |
| Are the rules for these war machines included inside this specific package? | No, the full gameplay profiles, points costs, and rules are found in the supplementary army book material for Warhammer: The Old World. |
| Are the components made of plastic or resin? | This is a completely modern, high-quality multi-part plastic kit that works best with standard plastic glue. |
What to Add Next
| What Next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Empire State Troops | Reliable rank-and-file infantry that can form an unyielding wall to screen and protect your artillery positions. |
| Empire Engineer | A vital character who can re-roll unfavorable artillery dice, significantly increasing the reliability of your war machines. |
