Created by a rogue modron quadrone for the armies of Rigus, bronze battlerunners serve as mobile artillery platforms capable of laying waste to even the mightiest enemies Acheron can muster without ever getting close enough to be counterattacked. Most generals use them as outrider support to mounted troop formations, but some are willing to let loose their full salvos to capture key objectives. Every battlerunner has a self-destruct failsafe built into it to prevent the tech from falling into the hands of Rigus's enemies. Constructed Nature. A bronze battlerunner doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep. |
