Kapricus
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Kapricus Defender)
Kapricus are compact light Leagues of Votann Anti-Grav vehicles.[1]
Overview
These stout armoured vehicles have composite-bonded plating and are incredibly manuverable thanks to their quad Magna-Coil engines. They are amongst the most widely used vehicles of the Hernkyn and excel in scouting and exploration. The Kapricus comes in two main varieties:[2]
- Kapricus Defenders provide exceptional fire support to vanguard operations, pairing heavy ordnance with the speed required to keep pace with rapidly changing frontier situations. In some far-flung Kin outposts, a single squadron of Defenders is the only armoured support required due to its efficiency in power projection.[2] They are armed with either a Magna-Rail Cannon or a HYLas Rotary Cannon.[1]
- Kapricus Carriers are nimble transports capable of moving troops and material to and from the battlefield. Its multiple Magna-Coil Autocannons can shatter the foe's lighter war engines and heavy infantry before embarking up to 5 troops (mostly commonly Hernkyn Yaegirs). These troops are then further supported by the Carrier's ability to utilize scanner uplinks, further helping its infantry unleash deadly fusillades of suppressive fire.[2]
