I am an Iron Warrior, can confirm. that sleadgehammer was glorious

And as any self respecting Iron Warrior I will also take advantage of oportunities to operate old as fuck (endearing) multi-ton machenery when given the chance

#having to steer that steam tractor/traction engine was like driving a barge #it makes 2mph feel fast when you're having to guide ten tons of steel and water #and steering requires *hauling* the steering wheel around for ten seconds just to get the engine to inch to the left a few degrees #fully headcannoning that the 4th uses traction engines like that for hauling raw materials for fortifications around behind the front lines #they aren't quick but by the dark gods they can PULL. a mere 14 newton-horsepower and it could pull a building down because it's all torque #they also have a built in winch under the boiler for hauling ploughs back and forth which is even stronger because the wheels will dig in #plus in Siege of Vraks opens with them using steam locomotives to get the death korps to the front long #as a former railfan I am vindicated that they still use steam technology in 40k #all you need is water and a heat source hot enough to boil water. solid fuel. oil. even a nuclear reactor (submarines)
