The '''Hellbore''' is a burrowing vehicle used by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]{{Fn|1}}, [[Imperial Guard]]{{Fn|1}}, and [[Adeptus Astartes]]{{Fn|2}}. 

Larger then both the [[Termite]] and [[Mole]], it uses a phase-field generator to burrow a drill filled with troops into the ground, allowing them to surface behind or on the flanks of enemy fortifications and positions.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} It has the capacity to transport up to one of the following: 12 [[Tactical Squads| Squads]] of [[Space Marines]], 12 [[Imperial Guard Squad]]s{{Fn|5}}, 8 [[Dreadnoughts]], 4 light vehicles, or 2 [[Rhinos]] (with troops inside them to their normal carrying capacity).{{Fn|2}} The troops embark and disembark by an assault ramp which folds into the Hellbore's body when not in use.{{Fn|3}} The Hellbore drilling-rig is armed with a [[multi-melta]] and [[heavy bolter]]s while the transport vehicle is armed with heavy bolters and defended by two [[power field]]s.{{Fn|4}}

The drilling-rig portion of a Hellbore is as long as a [[Stormbird]] while being wider in beam and more heavily armoured.{{Fn|3}}

Hellbores also get used by the forces of [[Chaos]] like the [[Iron Warriors]].{{Fn|3}}

Hellbores remain in active service within the Imperium as of the [[Era Indomitus]], with the [[Cadian 101st]] still making use of them.{{Fn|6}}
