Mechanik’s Union

A weapon developed and used primarily by the implacable Horgenhold Forge Guard, its raw power complementing their near impenetrable armor. This over-sized maul does serious damage by itself, capable of crushing bone with ease. But it is  the patented rhulic piston ram that makes it truly capable of pulverizing metal and toppling warjacks. The head of this hammer appears similar to the Pneumatic hammers found on the Rhulic warjacks, a conical work head with a sliding piston on the opposite face. The device has a internal accumulator furnace to vaporise the small water reservoir within the haft to produce the steam to drive the pneumatics, all cunningly miniaturised in typical rhulic fashion. When the flat bar of the mechanikal trigger is depressed on the haft, the piston charges; releasing on impact and slamming the conical metal tip of the hammer into the target with concussive force. Despite the wondrous attention to detail and spare uncluttered mechanika that the Rhulfolk are famed for, the entire weapon remains monstrously heavy and can only be wielded effectively by those with the exotic weapon proficiency, and even then only two-handed.
