Renegade Armoured Medusa Armageddon Pattern

The Medusa Siege Tank is an aging Imperial Guard siege platform used when attacking the thick walls of an enemy-held city or fortress. Built on the Chimera chassis, the Medusa suffers from a number of disadvantages compared to other artillery pieces like the Basilisk or Griffon, but its immense firepower ensures its continued use in the siege warfare depressingly common to the 41st Millennium.

Renegade forces of Chaos would also utilise the Medusa Siege Tank.

This Forge World model is now no longer available.

Imperial Guard Basilisk

The Imperial Guard have a range of artillery, one of the most common variants is the self-propelled Basilisk.

It is used extensively by the Imperial Guard and is produced in vast numbers.

This is a Catachan Basilisk on display at Warhammer World.

Legions Imperialis Artillery

Seeing the previews of the new Legions Imperialis Artillery models over on the Warhammer Community site made me realise how much I preferred the older versions of the Medusa and the Basilisk.

Though the Horus Heresy versions have been available from Forge World, and these are detailed models, I am not a fan.

Solar Auxilia Basilisk

This Solar Auxilia Basilisk was on display at Warhammer World.

Many Solar Auxilia Cohorts maintain their own mobile artillery batteries, favouring a class ideally suited to their particular battle doctrines.

Firing from long distance, the Basilisk can lay down a fearsome barrage ahead of the advancing ranks of the Solar Auxilia. Their hulls, derived from the Solar pattern Leman Russ, offer enhanced protection from enemy weapons and can equip a pintle-mounted weapon such as the ubiquitous multi-laser, adding a close quarters defence capability should enemy infantry advance too near.

Chaos Iron Warriors

This is a rather nice looking Iron Warriors Chaos Basilisk that was on display in Warhammer World in Nottingham back in 2007.

This is a rather nice looking Iron Warriors Chaos Vindicator (if somewhat badly photographed) that was in the display.

Alongside in the same display cabinet was this BaneBlade heavy tank.

Again very nicely painted and looks very menacing.

Basilisk

This very nice Forge World Armageddon pattern enclosed Basilisk was made up and painted by Warwick Kinrade. It was in the display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.
