A Brôkhyr Thunderkyn of the Trans-Hyperian Alliance armed with a Votannic Bolt Cannon and Omni-visor.
A Votannic Bolt Cannon, also just called a Bolt Cannon, is a massive, hand-held, heavy fire support and anti-armour ballistic weapon used by the military forces of the Leagues of Votann. Variants can also be used as anti-personnel weapons mounted on armoured vehicles such as the Sagitaur ATV and the Hekaton Land Fortress. The Bolt Cannon is very similar to the Imperial Heavy Bolter.
Like its Imperial counterparts, with which it shares a common technological heritage from pre-Imperial Terra through the STC databases, the Votannic Bolt Cannon fires kinetic projectiles known as "bolts" that explode on impact. The Votannic Bolt Cannon is a heavy weapon that requires two hands to lift, possesses a long range and can unleash bolts of extremely powerful explosive force whose salvos can slay hordes of enemies or penetrate thick armour plate.
Kin weapons like Votannic Bolt Cannons are superior in almost every respect to those wielded by the agents of the Imperium, since the Kin employ superlative materials and methods in their construction and have no fear of further innovating on an ancient STC design. As a result, the Votannic Bolt Cannon still often has a longer range and more stopping power than any of its Imperial equivalents.
Votannic Bolt Cannons are a favoured heavy weapon of the combat engineers known as Brôkhyr Thunderkyn.
