Basilisk

The Basilisk is the redoubtable artillery piece of the Imperial Guard.

In other words it's a cardboard tank with a fuckhuge gun and some dudes driving it. Thats It.

And if they had bayonets they would be fuckawesome.

Was it mentioned that they have the second longest range of any weapon in the game (10 feet direct fire, 20 feet indirect guess-fire)? The ability to lob a shell that can effectively instagib an entire squad a table or two away is simply astounding, you could kill people playing fantasy on the other table, not to mention utterly pointless in a table-top wargame.

And with the new codex, you might be able to have 9 of these niggers. Which basically lets you kill everything dead.. as long as it 36 inches away from you(indirect minimum range is 36). It will also scare your opponent shitless. Mainly because he will think hes in Apocalypses game. Of course with guard.. when ARNT you in a Apocalypse game?
