The named Adeptus Mechanicus war machine described by the publisher as hulking and heavily weaponised.
A heavily weaponised war machine
Deep Silver names the Onager Dunecrawler in the Adeptus Mechanicus vehicle preview. The publisher describes it as a hulking, heavily weaponised war machine. That establishes a large combat-vehicle identity, but it does not supply a weapon list or a numerical damage profile. The description is useful because it places the unit on the vehicle side of the faction’s roster and contrasts it with the quick Ironstrider Ballistarius.
The source presents the Onager Dunecrawler beside the Skorpius Disintegrator and Ironstrider Ballistarius as part of a versatile faction-vehicle selection. It does not say which of those vehicles is produced first, what each costs or how the Onager interacts with cover, Wargear or the Noosphere Network. Those rules remain open.
No invented anti-armour answer
The official description does not name what defeats an Onager Dunecrawler or whether it is stronger against infantry, vehicles or structures. ‘Heavily weaponised’ is not a published counter table. The source also does not give range, speed, armour, health or a condition for deploying the machine, so a pre-release composition guide cannot fill those values from the unit name.
The confirmed page stays with the available facts: Onager Dunecrawler is a named Adeptus Mechanicus vehicle and the publisher calls it hulking and heavily weaponised. Exact role, production timing, upgrades, survivability and counterplay remain unconfirmed.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
