When Queen Ayn Vanar ordered the Khadoran Mechaniks Assembly to give her a warjack that would turn the tide of the Motherland’s ongoing border wars, it provided her with the Spriggan. The mechaniks who built the first Spriggan looked to the drakhuns of old for inspiration; the warjack wields both a war lance and a heavy shield in addition to its tremendous underlying chassis armor.[1]
Dual grenade launchers set into the machine’s armored exterior give the Spriggan greater tactical flexibility. Using its grenades, the warjack can tear apart massed infantry with shrapnel, preventing them from overwhelming it with sheer numbers. These explosive grenades are supplemented with alchemical flares that illuminate enemies wherever they are hiding.[1]
The Spriggan’s most potent weapon is its massive lance, with which it can pierce a warjack from cortex to boiler before the enemy machine can close to defend itself. If an opponent somehow survives this onslaught, the ’jack can fend off blows with its formidable assault shield, which is sturdy enough to turn aside almost any weapon and weighty enough to deliver a crushing counterattack.[1]
