Kharadron Overlords Arkanaut Ironclad
The jewel in the fleet's Crown, the Arkanaut Ironclad is a majestic airship. Its deep cargo holds are loaded with Weapons and can be loaded with Aethergold or loaded to the gunwales with Arkanaut companies or Grundstok Thunderers. Although each skyport maintains larger battleships, some of immense proportions, they are costly to maintain. To date, the Ironclad remains the largest ship routinely seen in the air fleets. Such size limitations are not voluntary, but necessary. Shipbuilders have long believed that the Arkanaut Frigate was as large a ship as could be kept aloft with a single buoyancy Endrin, and multiple Endrins made fuel consumption prohibitive. However, the ingenuity of the duardin should never be underestimated - a stronger endrin and highly refined aether fuel allowed for an incremental increase in the tonnage that could be lifted.
Losing an Arkanaut Ironclad is expensive to build and maintain, and a major blow to the skyport that launched it. To better protect the investment it represents, an Arkanaut Ironclad wears thick armor in the form of multiple layers of riveted iron plates. However, the duardin know that a ship's best defense is its offensive capability. When an Ironclad sails into battle, a battery of bow-mounted gas carbines rain death on the enemy. With a hiss, followed by the explosion of firing Jet-Endrins, Aethershock torpedoes are launched, their grazing contrails ending in massive explosions. Racks of Grudge Settler Bombs fire, blasting gaping holes in ground targets. The Ironclad's largest gun is housed above the forecastle - either a large sky cannon or sky hook to eliminate the largest targets, or an aethermatic salvo cannon to hit numerous enemies with a deadly hail of aether shots.
This kit gives you all the Parts to build an Arkanaut Ironclad. It is the flagship of every Kharadron skyfleet, the model is armed with the largest and most powerful Weapons of the Kharadron. For his main gun you can choose between a Great Sky Cannon, a Great Skyhook and an Aethermatic Volley Gun and he has Aethershot Carbines, an Air Superiority Mine, Aethershock Torpedoes, Blast Drills, Fragmentation Charges and Grudge Settlement Bombs mounted on the hull.
