'''Thump Guns'''

With their evolution from an aqueous environment, the Galg have an unexpected affinity for explosives, with most of their weaponry being either explosive or concussive in nature. This is in part due to the nature of how concussive explosives interact with their native amphibious environment, where highly advanced weaponry, such as plasma, Ion, Laser, Gauss, or other such high-tech weaponry is at constant risk of either shorting out, or just not working properly, and due to the fact the concussive effect of explosives is multiplied tenfold when used properly underwater.

This had led to the Galg using simple, if reliable (some might say they’re more reliable than the imperium’s Las-rifles which can suffer fairly catastrophic breakdowns if mishandled, but the Thump-Gun is hindered by its need for material ammunition, and its much shorter range), hand held grenade launchers, known as thump guns, which can be loaded with a variety of explosive ammunition, from the shaped EX-HEAT charge rounds capable of melting through the toughest of armour, to the wide spread Crusher Concussion Rounds which knock down even the hardiest of opponents.

'''Missiles'''

The Galg are also infamous for their use of Missiles, which while usually shorter ranged than their Imperial equivalents, pack a far more focused punch than the missiles of other races, with either a shaped charge Tank-Wrecker warhead that will melt a fist sized hole straight through a Tank’s engine block, or the Engine-Spoiler, a magnesium packed flare that releases a cloud of incredibly tough fibres, designed to stall & immobilise enemy vehicles that their regular missiles cannot pierce. Finally they also have access to the Trident-Scatter Missile; a MRV Missile designed to cluster fire several warheads against the same target, and while the Armour piercing qualities of these miniature warheads is inferior to the regular Tank-Wrecker missiles, the tightly clustered explosions can provide a much greater impact to a vehicle allowing them to destroy vehicles through sheer weight of fire.

'''Rotary HEAP Grenade Launcher'''

The secondary main Infantry weapon of the Galg, also known as the “Rotator”, the Rotary HEAP (High Explosive, Anti-Personnel) Grenade Launcher resembles nothing more than a short-barrelled Thump Gun with a drum magazine, which can contain up to 15 rounds of ammunition, combined with the Semi-automatic firing mechanism, the “Rotator” can put out an unparalleled amount of anti-infantry ordinance at extremely short range, however when used for indirect fire there is the ever-present threat of the “Rotator’s” short range projectiles falling back upon its firer.

While the “Rotator” is designed for infantry use, and thusly made with a minimum amount of exposed moving parts due to the Galg’s amphibious warfare, the Heavy “Rotator”, its vehicle-mounted cousin, is far more complicated in its design, and far deadlier in its effect.

Reverse engineered from a surviving Avenger Bolt-Cannon, salvaged during a brush fire conflict against the Imperium, this belt fed Rotary HEIAP (High Explosive Incendiary/Armour Piercing) Grenade Launcher sacrifices some of the outright power, fire-rate, & range of its originator in order to be mounted on the Galgs light fan boats; however, the Galgs propensity for explosives has allowed them to exchange the original Bolter Ammunition for a HEIAP mixture of their own devising which combines highly compressed promethium, purified manganese, and an unknown accelerant, which spreads the explosive mixture over a huge radius, comparable to the Tau’s Sub-Munition Railgun Rounds.

===Heavy Support: Galg Gunboat - ''135 points''===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
One of the Galgs 2 main heavy vehicles, the Gunboat Skimmer is designed to deal with hordes of Infantry or enemy Vehicles.

Designed off of the same Fan Driven hovercraft as the Swamp Skiff, the Gunboat is much heavier than the lightly armoured Skiff, requiring 3 fan drives to provide the basic propulsion, alongside another 2 for steering and manoeuvrability.

Armed with a pair of Twin-Linked Heavy “Rotators” & a pair of Twin-Linked Tank-Wrecker Missile Launchers, with both Engine Spoiler Missiles & EX-HEAT Missiles, the Gunboat is often fielded by Galg Commanders when their normal weaponry either doesn’t pack enough punch to take out key enemy positions, or they need a heavy distraction while their other forces manoeuvre into position.

Any opponent who has had multiple encounters with the Galg has learned to loath the constant, loud hum of this craft’s fan drives as it glides over water or land to deliver its explosive payload before skimming away into heavy cover.

===Heavy Support: Galg Mobile Battery - ''160 points''===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px">
Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Second of the Galgs main heavy vehicles, the “Battery” was designed as a counter to their opponents aerial units.

The Galg have never been at home in the sky, even in the far flung past where they would train giant, exotic, dragonflies as aerial steeds, very few would ever choose to do so, instead preferring to navigate from town to town on foot.

This prejudice against flying has only been exacerbated in the 41st millennium, as the Dragonfly riders have proven almost completely incapable of fighting against other, more suited to the role, aerial creatures; their discomfort at having to fly rendering them almost incapable of fighting on even sky with their opponents.

To this end the Galg set to work on modifying a Gunboat chassis to carry at least some heavy anti-air weapons so that they wouldn’t be completely defenceless against skyborne enemies.

Enter the Galg Mobile Battery, a slow moving, hovercraft, armed with the Galgs recently developed AA Spoiler Cannons, a quadruple-Barrelled, long bore Anti-Air Cannon, capable of firing either the Spoiler Chaff Missile, designed to interfere with an opponent’s engine systems, prompting them to crash, or the Scatter Trident Missile, which splits into 3 smaller missiles as it’s fired, filling the sky with enough explosives that even the most experienced of pilots can’t avoid all of them.

However the heavy armament of the “Battery” renders it remarkably unsuitable for the Galgs normal swamp warfare, as the recoil of its main weaponry stands a chance of flipping it over if it is not positioned over solid ground, and the wider base needed to evenly distribute this recoil makes it far less manoeuvrable than both the Swamp Skiff, and the Gunboat.
