Ground-hog
The Ground-hog is a heavily armored Imperial tunneling vehicle, that is equipped with two forward firing bolt-guns.[1]
Description
It slowly lumbers while traveling on the surface, but moves quickly while underground and can emerge right into the heart of an enemy position. To achieve this, the Ground-hog emits sonic waves that loosens the soil near the vehicle, which then passes to the forward grinders directly under the Ground-hog's nose. From there the soil is pulped by the huge main grinder, and passes behind via the Ground-hog's side-shovels. The massive amount of heat generated by this process is expelled via the tail-unit at the vehicle's rear.[1]
