Empire Volley Gun / Rocket Battery

The Helblaster Volley Gun is one of the most infamous black-powder weapons ever invented, its devastating firepower able to tear apart an entire regiment in one thunderous volley. The lethal creation of the deranged Engineer von Meinkopt, its terrifying reputation has spread to all corners of the Old World. Its nine separate barrels are divided into three "decks" and are turned by means of a central crank, which means that it can unleash devastating hails of shot that engulf its unfortunate target in a firestorm of leaden death. Even heavily armoured Chaos Warriors can be shredded by a single volley, though with such devastating power comes great risk. Helblaster Volley Guns are notoriously prone to sudden, cataclysmic explosions. As a result, those crewmen who operate a machine so prone to catastrophically blowing them to tiny pieces tend to be paid up with the priests of Morr.

Faulkstein's original rockets were wildly inaccurate; madly corkscrewing weapons that had no chance whatsoever of hitting anything other than (eventually) the ground. Further refinements such as fins, long sticks added to the base of a rocket and a launch carriage to direct the early portion of its flight further improved stability and accuracy though neither were particularly impressive. However, when the rockets did manage to land on target, the results were devastating, with entire enemy regiments blown apart by an earth-shaking cascade of shrieking, explosive rockets. After the Elector Count of Middenland was almost blown to smithereens by an errant volley of rockets (though he was nowhere near the intended target) they were dubbed "Helstorm" rockets after the colourful language used by the count on the unfortunate Engineer.
