Overlord Airship

Overlord Armored Airship

The Overlord Armored Airship was a Squat heavy flying machine. Developed by engineering guilds to originally mine liquid metals within gas giants, these huge dirigibles would cruise through the upper or lower atmosphere of planets and were made to be protected against extreme temperatures. Realizing the military potential of these heavily armored crafts, the Squats quickly put them to military use. Powered by several gas cells which provide lift, each cell is self-sealing and filled with inert gases to prevent explosions in case of damage. An armored gondola hangs underneath the hull, equipped with Heavy Bomb racks (or any other Bombs they can find such as Melta Bombs) and Most Commonly equipped with a Super-Heavy Coil Cannon. Gravitic thrusters are positioned at the rear of the hull to supply forward power and extra lift. A select crew of Guild aeronauts operates the craft under the watchful eye of a captain, most often the engineer who oversaw the ship's construction.

Special rules

Squat Vehicles, Even light ones are very well defended to a point where sometimes they can shrug off blows that would normally destroy them. If the Vehicle with the Squat bulk rule is hit by a weapon, the Pilot may roll there tech-use and depending on the degrees of success reduce the pen by 1.

To Keep the Overlord airship afloat they have many MANY gas cells, and if the ship were to take damage half of it is ignored as the Shot hit one of the gas cells, however the Pilot must take a Drive test at a -10 or risk lowering altitude.

Due to the Ships Massive size alot of Mantinace has to be done, and as a result the engineer comes with replacement hull plates inside the ship, during the begining of the ships first turn it may sarifice there movement for repairing 3d10 + tech use degrees in Structure points
