Here comes the motherland. Behemoth, Imperial Spirit of Khador

There are warjacks built for war. And then there are warjacks built for the Motherland, with enough iron to make a foundry blush.

Today, Khador Winter Korps has answered the call to war with Behemoth, Imperial Spirit of Khador rebuilt to defend Khador with a heavy arsenal and a frankly unreasonable amount of armour plating.

Twin bombards, Khadoran brutality.

Larger than a tank, more densely-armored than a colossal, and carrying some of the most destructive weapons available to the Motherland, Behemoth represents the mechanikal embodiment of Khador’s iron will — a machine that is immense, fantastically powerful, and nearly indestructible.

A resurrected hero in Khador’s time of need, this peerless warjack is as much a symbol of the nation’s resolve in the face of adversity as it is a force of destruction to anyone who would stand against it.

True to its name, Behemoth is an unstoppable juggernaut on the battlefield. Thick armour plates and complex internal shielding allow Behemoth to absorb damage that would reduce a lesser warjack to scrap.

The most innovative aspect of Behemoth’s design is its experimental sub-cortex, to which a pair of shoulder-mounted bombard cannons are slaved. This miniature cortex operates independently of Behemoth’s other systems and allows for independent targeting and tracking for each bombard.

Each of its fists is armed with integral blasting explosives, housed in reinforced cylinders. These directional charges augment the machine’s raw strength with blasts that can rip through heavy armor and literally disintegrate softer targets.

An anvil that shall not be broken

Khador's mechanical perseverance is key to understanding the Behemoth's storied history and how its glorious rebirth came to be in a time of dire need.

“True to Salvoro’s original aims, Behemoth would come to redefine Khadoran warjack design during development.

The Mechaniks Assembly created a complex system of internal shielding and mechanikal redundancy, which, when combined with its thick armor plates, allowed Behemoth to absorb damage that would reduce a lesser warjack to scrap. Each of its fists was armed with integral blasting explosives, housed in reinforced cylinders. These directional charges augmented the machine’s raw strength with blasts that could rip through heavy armor and literally disintegrate softer targets. The most innovative aspect of Behemoth’s design was its experimental sub-cortex, to which a pair of shoulder-mounted bombard cannons were slaved.

The age of super heavies

The Behemoth isn’t the only Warjack setting off on a mission of conquest. When pre-orders opened after the grand reveal at the Lock & Load US 2025 keynote, three other legendary super heavy warjacks rumbled into the spotlight:

• Cryx Necrofactorium’s Deathjack — a towering engine of necrotheurgy and soul-fuelled menace. Deathjack roams the Iron Kingdoms and is out now.

• Azdharak, Herald of Immolation — The result of the warwitch Sabbreth’s unhinged ambition. A being born from hatred, a tortured soul, and a sliver of the dragon Blighterghast’s Athanc, Azhdarak is destruction incarnate.

• Cygnar Storm Legion’s Thunderhead — The storm calls, Thunderhead is the lightning that strikes twice. Shock your foes with its two ingenious servitor drones.

If you’re looking for mighty warjacks that boast heavy metal firepower and demand your opponent’s attention, welcome to the season of super heavies.
