Nighthammers are used only in the Dark Legion's greatest offensives. No one knows on which chassis they were built; some speculate that these huge , rune-encrusted vehicles were brought here from a different plane and were created by some long-extinct race. They certainly bear no resemblance to any work of the Megacorporations. Rather, as some observers say, they look like huge turtles on tracks, with a crab's spiky shell.

The Nighthammer is a monstrously large artillery piece. It slowy crawls over land on its huge brazen treads. Witchfires flicker along its length. The giant, rune-encrusted snout of its enormous cannon juts out over 100 feet from the vehicle's front. It is always mounted on tracks and must be anchored in place when it fires. It fires superheavy artillery shells which hit with enormous impact, creating craters hundreds of yards across.

Dimensions: 50m long / 10m high / 20m wide.
