	Resembling more like a bunker from [[Blizzard\|Starcraft]] than something out of the Adeptus Astartes (I know I know, [[Original character, do not steal\|cue irony]]), the Hammerfall Bunker is a heavily weaponized, fortified emplacement used by Space Marines that is dropped from orbit to provide a beachhead or secure a landing zone. It is also a rarity in 40k in that it is one of the few structures that is faction specific and one of the few that actually ''fires back''.

	It is also a relatively strange structure, given that [[Drop Pod]]s exist. While [[Cawl]] developing tech better than Big E himself could (or would be willing to) isn't new, presumably Drop Pods would always have sported guns worth a damn, or at least had doors that could reclose so its occupants could take shelter, were that appropriate to [[Space Marines\|Space Marine]] doctrine and the realities of 30/40k combat.

	Ranting and confusion aside, the Hammerfall Bunker is a pretty mean piece of ceramite. First, let us start with the secondary weapons. The Bunker allegedly comes equipped with ''eight [[Heavy Flamer]]s/[[Heavy Bolter\|Bolter]]s'', two on each side of the Bunker, but the Defensive Array ability mentioned below calls it "Hammerfall Heavy Bolter array" and "Hammerfall Heavy Flamer array", Which means that yes the thing may have 8 heavy Flamers/Bolters, but mechanically there all treated as one weapon array. in either case this immediately makes Horde armies rethink their tactics in simply just swarming around the structure. Second, there is that notable [[Hammerfall Missile Launcher]] on top of the Bunker. The missile launcher can shoot either Superfrag or Superkrak missiles. Each of them has an impressive 72" range, with the [[Rape\|Superfrag being a Heavy 2D6 S6, AP0, D1 Blast weapon]] whilst the [[Awesome\|Superkrak is Heavy 2 S10, AP-2, D1d6]]. Its BS is only 4+ because it's manned by servitors.		Ranting and confusion aside, the Hammerfall Bunker is a pretty mean piece of ceramite. First, let us start with the secondary weapons.

	Resembling more like a bunker from [[Blizzard\|Starcraft]] than something out of the Adeptus Astartes (I know I know, [[Original character, do not steal\|cue irony]]), the Hammerfall Bunker is a heavily weaponized, fortified emplacement used by Space Marines that is dropped from orbit to provide a beachhead or secure a landing zone.

	Ranting and confusion aside, the Hammerfall Bunker is a pretty mean piece of ceramite. First, let us start with the secondary weapons. The Bunker allegedly comes equipped with ''eight [[Heavy Flamer]]s/[[Heavy Bolter\|Bolter]]s'', two on each side of the Bunker, but the Defensive Array ability mentioned below calls it "Hammerfall Heavy Bolter array" and "Hammerfall Heavy Flamer array", Which means that yes the thing may have 8 heavy Flamers/Bolters, but mechanically there all treated as one weapon array. in either case this immediately makes Horde armies rethink their tactics in simply just swarming around the structure. Second, there is that notable [[Hammerfall Missile Launcher]] on top of the Bunker. The missile launcher can shoot either Superfrag or Superkrak missiles. Each of them has an impressive 72" range, with the [[Rape\|Superfrag being a Heavy 2D6 S6, AP0, D1 Blast weapon]] whilst the [[Awesome\|Superkrak is Heavy 2 S10, AP-2, D1d6]]. Its BS is only 4+ because it's manned by servitors.		Ranting and confusion aside, the Hammerfall Bunker is a pretty mean piece of ceramite. First, let us start with the secondary weapons.
