Like many large Ork vessels, the Slamblasta has been identified as having been constructed in the large part from the wreckage of crippled Imperial vessels – in Slamblasta’s case, the Imperial Gothic class cruiser Pallas Imperious. Unable to properly regulate the massive energy circuitry required to power the Gothic class’ broadside lance batteries, the Meks who constructed the Slamblasta instead pillaged the systems in an attempt to build two much larger lance type weapons. Ork technology being what it is, the weapon ended up much larger in size than in power, but nonetheless the Slamblasta remains an impressive achievement in providing the Orks with a lance armed vessel. In the Third Armageddon War Slamblasta played a crucial role as part of the advance raiding parties sent ahead of the main Ork invasionary fleet, where its powerful prow lances proved particularly suited to the Orks’ goal of crippling any monitoring stations, system defences or Imperial outposts on the fringes of the Armageddon system.
Notes: Slamblasta may be equipped with torpedo bommerzs for +30pts. Due to its poorly distributed mass, Slamblasta may not use Come to New Heading special orders. When Leadership values are generated for the Ork fleet, Slamblasta can opt to swap Leadership ratings with a Kill Kroozer or Terror ship to represent the warlord dragooning the best crew in the fleet aboard his vessel. |
