Deep-Miners are massive tracked Imperial vehicles, the size of hab-blocks, which are used to drill resources from beneath a world's surface, akin to a modern-day open-pit Bucket-Wheeled Excavator. In a sense, they are a catch-all term for any civilian mining vessel in the Imperium.

They were created before the rise of the Emperor, but are now used by the Imperium and each contain large clan populations. Those who live aboard them can live out their entire lives without ever leaving the vehicles and as a result, a Deep-miner's population is very insular. So kind of like the miniature version of a [[Mobile Hiveships]].

They only need to make contact with Imperial authorities when the vehicles' tanks are full of resources, in order to trade for fresh food, clean water and other necessities. Due to their age and advanced technological construction, the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has asked that any Imperial forces invading a Deep-miner should try to do as little damage as possible to the remarkable vehicles.

A few folks have attempted to kitbashed a vehicle along the lines of the Deep-Miner as can be shown below. Bucket-Wheeled Excavators were also briefly shown in the teaser trailer of [[The Lord Inquisitor]] as shown to the right, but whether it is a Deep-Miner, we may never know since it has been shelved indefinitely.

Also, how big these vehicles are meant to be is unknown since the term 'hab-block' could mean anything, from single three-story buildings to skyscraper-sized spires. But seeing as how it is large enough to contain an entire 'clan' to house a self-sustaining population, the sheer complexity of its design to warrant a 'no touch'-list for the AdMech, and that modern IRL bucket-wheel excavators are already reaching scale of what 40k would classify as a 'titan', (Bagger 293, record holder for largest land machine, is 225 meters long and 96 meters tall. That's taller then a warhound and longer then an Emperor titan is tall) we can speculate that it is on the larger end of the scale.

*'''Height:''' 100-200m; approx
