The dwarves of Rhul specialize in adapting utilitarian steamjack designs into brutal and economical machines of war. The Grundback Blaster is an excellent addition to the Rhulic arsenal and is a prime example of their industrial design philosophy. Like its cousin, the Grundback Gunner, the Blaster is based on the chassis of the compact and durable Grundback Runner.
The Blaster is armed with the canister-fed hail-shot cannon, a single blast from which unleashes a resounding volley of tiny projectiles designed to cut swaths through masses of enemy troops. By shaping the inside of the barrel with a metal choke, Rhulic engineers were able to concentrate the cannon’s blast significantly. Additionally, their calculated weapon design allows controlling warcasters to increase the killing potential of the cannon with a minor flex of will.
To protect the intricate and delicate internal mechanisms of the Grundback Blaster, Rhulic engineers constructed a heavily reinforced armored shell. Dwarven ingenuity has ensured that Rhul’s enemies will be feeling the deathdealing blasts of this tough, efficient little ’jack for years to come.
