Editing Field Ordnance Battery (section)

==Overview==
Basically the Imperial Guard's equivalent of the [[Eldar]] [[Support Weapon Battery]] and the [[Ork]] [[Mek Gunz|Gunz]]. Field Ordnance Batteries are large man-portable Astra Militarum wheeled artillery pieces, that is usually either towed by a logistics vehicles such as a [[Centaur Utility Vehicle]], [[Cargo-8 Ridgehauler]] or a [[Trojan Support Vehicle]]. However, if no such vehicles are available or if the commanding officer is a lazy fuckwit, then the poor sods would have to tow it by hand.

As field artillery pieces, they are equipped with either large-bore cannons such as a [[Bombast Field Gun]], multi-missile launcher such as the [[Malleus Rocket Launcher]], or heavily overcharged [[Heavy Lascannon]]. By function, the Bombast act as sort of a mini-[[Earthshaker Cannon]] as it lobs shells at foes from behind cover; whilst this may interfere with the role that [[Light Mortar]]s bring, the Bombast has a higher penetration and more suited for light vehicles and MEQs. Likewise in the direct opposite of the Bombast, we have the Heavy Lascannon which is a supped-up version of the regular [[Lascannon]] believe it or not; punching holes in big armour such as tanks or TEQs. When it comes to horde clearing, the Malleus Rocket Launcher basically acts as a mini-MLRS; shredding alien hordes in large swathes of fragmentary rockets.

All in all, the Field Ordnance Batteries offer a good middle line between the Heavy Weapons Squad and full-on tanks. If anything, it is the largest calibre weapon the Guard can use before jumping into tank gun category.
