Heavy Support
'Eavy Crawla
During the cleansing of the Ligdowne system, baneblades and leman russ divisions had been deployed to strife the growing Ork Waaagh! that infected the planets, and used with great effectiveness against the Ork hoards, who could not destroy the massive vehicles with the weapons at hand. With his Waaagh! nearly destroyed, a desperate Warboss Razblood had gathered all his remaining mek boyz to build the stompas needed to fight back against the armored divisions of the Imperial Guards. A stray group of meks, however, was sent to stall for time. But with much of the stray gubbins and metal taken to build stompas, these stray meks use what they had at hand. They took a broken down Leman russ, added another cannon, stripped down it's armor for ammo, and replaced it's engine with a bigger one. What they made was a battle tank that outmaneuvered the hulking baneblades, immobilizing them and slowing the entire division to a crawl, enough for the first stompas to be rolled out and crush the Imperial Guard's spearhead. Many variations of this new vehicle was soon to follow in the sector, with bigger cannons and faster engines that could satisfy any Mek.
