	Known to bedevil the isolated communities in the lawless frontier of the Koronus Expanse, the ''Hellbringer'' is a swift but powerful class of ships of unknown origin. Imperial experts are baffled as it matches no known existing design, leading many to believe this is a relatively new development, constructed by a Heretek enclave or even [[Dark Mechanicus]] [[Forge World]].

	The Hellbringer has been seen in two configurations: as a Carrier or a Gunboat.

	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.		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.

	If it had, however, it's likely that it would have the same list limitations as regular Cruisers, which meant that only up to a dozen could be included at any time.

	The sequel to the original Hellbringer. The Mk.II is the Gunboat variety that replaces the Launch Bays with 2 long-ranged Double-Barrel Heavy [[Lance]] Battery Weapons instead. Presumably, the aforementioned statement regarding a Hellbringer not having been built for 8000 years before the 9th year of the Indomitus Crusade does not apply here, as the vessel is actually a pretty effective fire support ship (assuming other Chaos vessels with launch bays are around, which is pretty likely).

	By dropping the Launch Bay, it shaves off 12 points of cost to go all direct fire with a pair of the aforementioned Heavy Lance Batteries. The lances output pretty decent dps and crits on their own for this tier and considering their accuracy and piercing, coupled with that 18,000 unit range makes the Hellbringer Mk 2 a deadly cheap sniping line ship.
