Bruennhilde
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Bruennhilde is an artillery tow vehicle used by units of the Imperial Guard, mostly poorly-equipped formations such as siege regiments.[1]
A variant of the ubiquitous Land Crawler, the Bruennhilde predates the Krieg Civil War and was used as a lightly armoured transporter by PDF units of Krieg for several millennia. Although it is armed with a single Heavy Stubber, the Bruennhilde is not a front-line combat vehicle, though it can be pressed into that role as needed.[1]
Trivia
- This pattern of vehicle is named for Brunhilde, a valkyrie from Germanic mythology and a main character of Richard Wagner's Ring cycle (this parallels the Ragnarok and Götterdämmerung, both of which have similarly-themed names).
