A Death Wheel of the Death Guard Traitor Legion
A Death Wheel is a rare war engine utilised by the Forces of Chaos. During the 13th Black Crusade, the Defiler was a more common sight upon the battlefields of Cadia. But perhaps the most terrifying of Abaddon's daemonic constructions was the mighty Death Wheel. Standing as tall as a Warhound Scout Titan, these massive tracked wheels are festooned with baroque spikes, guns and blades. Death Wheels were first encountered by the Cadain 8th Imperial Guard Regiment near Kasr Vasan when a large force of Black Legion armour accompanied by several Death Wheels forced the Cadians to disengage their pursuit of the traitorous Volscani Cataphracts.
Armament
The Death Wheel is massive, rising several stories above the battlefield, and covered in large deadly spikes and blades. Inside the Death Wheel is a gyroscope, allowing it to keep its balance without relying on sheer gravity alone. In addition to the spikes, the Death Wheel is equipped with a pair of large Battle Cannons as its main armament. It is also equipped with a pair of Reaper Autocannons on both sides.
