Hellbringer Class Planetary Assault Ship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Hellbringer Class Assault Ship[1]
The Hellbringer Class Planetary Assault Ship, also known as the Hellbringer Class Light Cruiser, is a Chaos spacecraft.
Overview
The Hellbringer Class is designed for planetary raiding and pillaging. Operated by bands of Chaos Space Marines, Traitors of the Imperial Navy, or other Chaos-affiliated cutthroats, the vessels can launch overwhelming attacks on unsuspecting worlds with shipborne Macrocannon and Bombardment Cannon weaponry and attack craft. Once the surface is bombarded into near submission, landing craft quickly land to take slaves and steal any valuables.[1]
As of the 9th year of the Indomitus Crusade, the Imperium believes it has been 8,000 years since a new Hellbringer has been built.[2]
