Brixt Walker

A **Brixt Walker** is a unique class of war machines used by the Elkiedai and their Houses. It first made its debut in the Thorcennean Panoply of War through the battle upon Helghan Prime, in which the War Walkers were used to invade the worlds Cities and break into the worlds Black Armory for weaponry to bolster the forces of the Scorned.

Sometime after the death of their leader, former members of the Scorn would join the other Elkiedai Houses, namely that of Vindication and Retribution and shared their innovation for mass production. In the years of M90 the Brixts feature prominently across the Elkiedai Houses and these newer models have engine cores similar to Elkiedai Combat Walkers.

## History

### Origin

During a secret incursion to occupy a desolate sector of the Martian Sovereignty, the Scorned stole phase technology from Helghan Primes Black Armory vault and integrated it with their own Elkiedai technology by kitbashing a Walker mech and a Prime Servitor together to create the war machine Hel'brixts Prime as the first of its kind.

In response, the Sovereignty dispatched a Templar vindication force to raid the Scorn's occupied territories, securing the vault only after the Scorned had stolen the majority of the Armories weapons but would then destroy the primogenitor war machine.

### Crimson Crusades

Following decades since Hel'brixts Prime's appearance and rampage, and during the Wars known to Imperium Scholars as the Crimson Crusades, inferior but mass-produced copies of it began appearing under the banner of Mel'krik, the newly proclaimed Kel'min of Shadows. Newly identified as Brixts, they were sourced from remnants of the Scorned syndicate who had joined Mel'krik's House Vindication. The majority of these war mechs appear to be smaller versions in comparison to Hel'brixts Prime. The smaller versions of these war machines are labeled Brixts while the much larger variants - similar in size to Hel'brixts Prime - are labelled Commodores.

## Overview

Brixts are a dangerous and challenging opponent to face on the battlefield, both with their high durability and arsenal of weapons to hammer their enemies with. They are equipped with the same weapons as their ancestor Hel'brixts Prime; a pair of front-mounted Arc turrets, an arm cannon capable of firing concentrated Arc blasts, a retractable launcher to bombard enemy squadrons with volleys of missiles from above and an Annihilation Blaster mounted on the other side, which can deal tremendous damage and can potentially kill in a single hit.

They will stride around, firing on the enemies of their House with their Arc turrets while occasionally using either their superior Moltaa-cannon or airstrike missiles, but when significant damage is dealt, their face plate will often be blown off in an attempt to remedy overheating, exposing their engine core weak point. In this state they will hover stationary in the air while firing repeatedly with their Annihilation Blaster until either they or their hated target has been killed. There are many variants of Brixts often fielded by their own Houses. Those with right arm mounted cannons and those without. The one's without said cannons constantly have their retractable launchers deployed and almost exclusively attack via missile bombardments. These Brixts also feature a different set of lights/sensors along their frontal plate with one large sensor and four smaller one's instead of six equally sized.

## Variants

### Enforcer

**Enforcer Brixts** are a group of war machines belonging to the Elkiedai House of Retribution. Unlike their regular Brixts counterparts, they are far more heavily armored.

They feature similar weaponry to Hel'brixts Prime aside from not having the expansive Black Armory Arsenal at their disposal. Also unlike regular Brixts, they always appear the same - predominantly dark blue with little to no white.

#### Overview

Enforcer Brixts are highly durable and require sustainable damage from concentrated Artillery to defeat.

They are equipped with the same weapons as normal Brixts, a pair of front-mounted Arc turrets, an arm cannon that fires concentrated Arc blasts, a retractable launcher to bombard enemies with volleys of missiles from above and an Annihilation Blaster mounted on the other side, which can potentially kill in a single hit.

### Commodores

Elkiedai Commodores are extremely large variants of Brixts employed by the House of Vindication. They stand more than twice as tall as regular Brixts similar to the size of Hel'brixts Prime and have more durable armor.

### Kel'mins Honor Brixt

The **Kel'mins Honor Brixt** is a massive Elkiedai Brixt Walker deployed by the House of Reason as they bolster the ranks of the other Houses.

#### Overview

Their attack patterns and behaviors mirror their regularly sized counterparts, only increased in lethality due to their size.
