The Iron Hail Gunners are among the deadliest handgunners in the world, elite soldiers of Cathay armed with intricate repeating firearms that loose a storm of shot in place of a single crashing volley. Each weapon is a marvel of Celestial engineering, its mechanism feeding round after round in a rattling cascade, so that a single company can smother an entire regiment beneath a withering hail of lead. Superbly drilled and coldly professional, the Gunners hold their ground with unshakeable discipline, working their guns in relentless rhythm as the enemy is torn apart before it can close. They form the firing heart of a Cathayan battle-line, laying down a curtain of fire that reaps the front ranks of any assault. Against the endless numbers of the greenskin and the Chaos hordes, their sheer volume of shot is a bulwark that few foes can push through, and the ground before them becomes a carpet of the fallen.
